Training of NDT Personnel

Following the requirements of SIST EN ISO 9712, the training of “non-destructive testing” personnel is delivered. The training cover all methods, listed in the NDT methods and products ranging from castings, forgings, welded joints, pipes, to formed products. Within industrial branches we encompass manufacturing, and testing prior to, and during operations.

The new training center facilities are located in the JOB center, CKŽ 135c in Krško. There are two lecture rooms that seat 9 and 20 people, respectively. Both are equipped with all necessary computer, visual and audio technology.

You are invited to take a walk around the premises of the Q Techna Education Center

Available for practical exercises is a laboratory for 10 people, as well as a dark room with modern measuring and testing equipment, and a collection of samples which has been carefully selected over a period of 15 years. The emphasis is laid on practical work, which is the only way for a participant to acquire the sound basis for his/her further professional development. Naturally, most of our lecturers come from industry.

Based on customers’ needs, training can be delivered at other locations, including customers’ premises.

We are pleased that the participants’ feedback on either the training quality, or the setting is very positive. If, occasionally, there is a comment or suggestion for improvement, we always make our best effort to implement it.

Likewise, we welcome every new training participant, and also the returnees, interested in the new quality contents. Since people come back to us that is but a sign we are on the right path.

Survey results prove that good quality is indeed delivered, in every aspect; in terms of lectures and lecturers, the modern premises and the large and manifold collection of samples for practical work.

A great emphasis is put on the selection of lecturers, as we are well aware that even the best possible infrastructure looks dull, unless there are experts with appropriate theoretical and practical knowledge.
