ASNDT

These courses do not have fixed duration and programs, depending on the requested qualification and on the entrance skill of the trainees, courses are developed starting with practical demonstrations and continuing with practical exercises increasing from time to time the degree of difficulty, courses are teached by Qualified Instructors. RTCS has developed different training programs, suitable for people who want to increase their own skill and knowledge towards welder’s profession in several industrial sectors such as Oil & Gas, Off and Onshore industries, Infrastructures, Transportation (automotive, shipyards, railways, aerospace) welded components production, and others.
