NDE's first and foremost priority is to ensure all NDE Personnel, be they full time (employees) or part time (freelancers) possess the necessary skills set to carry out their duties to the highest possible standards.

As a leader in our Industry we recognise our responsibility to continually train and develop Inspectors and Expediters to ensure that we will have qualified and experienced resources available to offer our clients now and in the future.

First and foremost we look to employ personnel with the best possible skills and holding recognised valid qualifications be they specialists for NDE, Welding, Coating or a specific equipment type professional. We therefore encourage (freelance, full time or trainee staff) personnel to obtain National and International recognized qualifications such as CWI/AWS, NACE, CSWIP, PCN, DGZFP, ERS, EN, ICORR, CQM, CQE, and others. NDE sponsors training of its full time and trainee staff, including technical coordinators looking to extend their knowledge.

In addition NDE Technical Services group has extensive Inspector training documents and tools which cover; Pipemill operations for line pipe and OCTG, general mechanical (broken down to specific equipment groups), electrical & instrumentation, welding, coating and NDT level II applications such as MPI, LP, RT & UT.  Coupled with practical mentoring with experienced personnel, we can be confident that our personnel have the very latest knowledge and practical training to be able to carry out their duties to the very highest levels as we and our clients expect. Our Expediting in-House training courses vary from 2-5 days depending on the experience level of the Expediter taking the course.

Within the end of 2009 NDE will have implemented a Nuclear Inspection Management program complying with the requirements of ASME NQA-1. Within this program specific requirements are laid down for the control and training of personnel engaged in Nuclear Projects such as Auditors, NDT Inspectors, General equipment Inspectors and Coordinators.

HSE guidelines and Powerpoint based presentations are given to all personnel employed by NDE. Those are specifically tailored for the office or site/work location environments and country regulations applying.

Such training / personnel development programs as described above are fast becoming something clients are expecting as the norm. They want to know that the personnel engaged in their field work have the knowledge and can properly act as their eyes and ears and at all times remaining safe in carrying out those duties.

We at NDE are committed to implement the very best training and personnel development programs to ensure our quality of work is to the highest levels expected off us.
