I’m due to renew UT Level II and want a course that goes beyond slides into on-rail practice with real defect standards — calibration blocks, A-scan interpretation, and acceptance criteria tied to FRA 213.113. Any recommendations for Midwest offerings in March–April that provide at least 16 hours on equipment like a Krautkramer USM 36 or a push trolley, with a strong emphasis on safe procedures and documentation that stands up to audit?
AINDT in Baxter, MN last April — 16+ hours on ‘USM 36’; solid 213.113 tie-in, but no push trolley.
I recently went through a similar course where they had us practice on the USM 36 with real defects, which really helped solidify my understanding of the FRA 213.113 criteria. Just a heads up, that tight schedule can make it tough to fit in all that on-rail practice, so it’s worth double-checking their agenda. @nicole1988, have you considered checking in with local unions for any sessions coming up too?
