This course is designed for the novice infrared thermographer in understanding the requirements for conducting successful mechanical inspections. There is no pre-requisite for this class. It is best suited for someone with a basic understanding of mechanical apparatus and systems. The course is open to all people—whether or not they currently own a thermal imager. For those that don’t own an imager, you may want to watch an on-demand webinar entitled Buying a Camera for Condition Monitoring. For those that already own an infrared camera, this course is ideal for those just starting out conducting mechanical inspections, or someone who has already taken formal Level I training and wants a concise review.

There are several hands-on simulations and exercises built into the training. While owning an infrared camera is not necessarily required to participate, those who wish to receive a "Certificate of Achievement" for the class should have access to one (see FAQ for more on certificates). Finishing this course prepares students to start successfully applying infrared technology to inspect mechanical systems for deficiencies.
