Key topics and modules

  • Diffraction principles
  • Probe separation
  • Calibration
  • Lateral and back-wall signals
  • Defect sizing
  • Case exercise: applying probe separation
  • Case exercise: decisions and limits in lateral and back-wall signals
  • Evidence review: checking defect sizing
  • Practical workshop: developing the ToFD setup and interpretation report
  • Application assessment: interpret ToFD data while recognising technique limitations

Who it is for

  • NDT technicians
  • NDT inspectors
  • Inspection engineers
  • Quality control inspectors
  • Method-level certification candidates

Relevant industries

Oil and gas, Power generation, Manufacturing, Construction, Marine engineering

Workplace value

  • Provide teams with a ToFD setup and interpretation report to support consistent decisions and clearer handovers.
  • Strengthen review of lateral and back-wall signals and defect sizing using the course exercises and documented findings.
  • Support performance follow-up through a defined measure: sizing results with stated limitations.

Assessment and entry considerations

Entry and recognition: Preparation only. Select the method, level, industrial sector and certification route before booking. Required training, documented experience, vision eligibility, examinations and employer authorisation must be checked separately; these proposed hours are not asserted to satisfy a certification scheme. The proposed timetable is preparation support, not a declaration that all certification training or experience requirements are met.

Duration basis: Proposed BEMCON taught duration; not an official qualification requirement
