  • Posted by NDT-Inspect on 16/12/2022 at 3:07 pm

    The PCN (Personnel Certification in Non-Destructive Testing) program is a professional certification program for non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel that is administered by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT). The PCN program is based on the international standard ISO 9712 and is recognized internationally as a mark of competence in NDT.

    To become PCN qualified in NDT, candidates must meet the following requirements:

    1. Education: Candidates must have a minimum of a secondary education, or equivalent, and must have completed an NDT training program that meets the requirements of ISO 9712.

    2. Experience: Candidates must have a certain amount of NDT experience, depending on the level of certification they are seeking. For example, candidates seeking Level II certification must have at least two years of NDT experience, while candidates seeking Level III certification must have at least six years of NDT experience, including at least three years at the Level II level.

    3. Examination: Candidates must pass a written and practical examination in order to be certified. The examination is based on the requirements of ISO 9712 and tests the candidates’ knowledge and skills in NDT.

    To get started, candidates should first ensure that they meet the education and experience requirements for the level of certification they are seeking. They should then contact the BINDT or a recognized NDT training organization to enroll in a training program and register for the examination. Once they have completed the training and passed the examination, candidates will be issued a PCN certificate and will be qualified to perform NDT at the appropriate level.
