The University of Melbourne Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) 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. The (FEIT) thermography courses are available for both public and onsite company registration.

Course Description

Purpose

The Category 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.

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 inspections following written guidelines and report findings. The theory sections on heat and infrared provides participants with the basic knowledge needed to use their infrared camera in the field, and to recognise and interpret thermal patterns. Strong emphasis is put on the infrared measurement techniques and the influence of emissivity and reflectivity on the measurement results. Participants gain practical experience and learn how and when to use qualitative and quantitative thermography. A short introduction to inspection routines and reporting principles finalises the theory and the preparation needed to create a short case study that is presented to the class.

Category 1 ITC Certification Requirements

The course is completed with an examination which is set and marked by ITC in Sweden. It is a written exam including multiple choice questions and practical image interpretation.

All participants that pass the exam and meet all relevant requirements receive a certificate stating their performance.
