ITC Infrared Thermography Level 1

The Melbourne School of Engineering (MSE) at the
University of Melbourne has been involved in the delivery
of quality infrared thermography training since 1997.
The School is an Infrared Training Center (ITC) licensed to
deliver thermography training courses under agreement.
ITC is a world leader in IR thermography training with
training centres all over the world.
MSE thermography courses are available for both public
and onsite company registration

COURSE DESCRIPTION inspections following written guidelines PRESENTERS

Purpose
The Level 1 ITC Thermography course is
an introductory course which prepares
participants to become category 1 certified
thermographers. Category 1 thermographers
are able to:
Apply a specified thermographic
measurement technique
Set up and operate the thermal imaging
equipment for safe thermographic data
collection
Perform basic fault detection, severity
assessment, and diagnosis in accordance
with established instructions
Perform basic image post-processing
(measurement tools, emissivity
adjustments, span and scale
adjustments, etc)
Style
The course is delivered using a combination
of theoretical and practical sessions; working
with images, sketches and simple diagrams
to illustrate the theoretical aspects in a
descriptive way.
Duration
The course consists of three online modules
completed during participants own time
followed by five days of face to face training.
Content
Participants learn about the basics of infrared,
how to operate their camera under different
conditions and for various purposes, how
to appropriately judge the measurement
situation and identify potential error sources.
Participants will be able to undertake infrared
