Qualification summary
Please note that this qualification is unavailable for new registrations. The certification end date is 31/07/24.
Based on National Occupational Standards (NOS), this Diploma in Engineering Construction Non Destructive Testing at SCQF Level 6 includes units on contributing to effective working relationships in engineering construction, working safely to minimise risk and more.
ECITB requires that evidence of competence must be drawn from and reflect activity undertaken by the learner in the workplace. The workplace is defined as the learner’s normal place of work for their occupation.
In the units of assessment some learning outcomes and associated assessment criteria relate to the knowledge that enables a learner to perform competently. Evidence must be collected that verifies this knowledge is present.
Where is this qualification delivered?
To complete this qualification learners must enrol with one of ECITB’s Approved Centres listed below.
What is the qualification structure?
To achieve this qualification learners must complete 3 mandatory units plus 6 optional units shown below. A minimum of 3 processes must be undertaken from the following list, 1 of these processes must be ultrasonics or radiography.
- NDT Eddy Current Testing
- NDT Magnetic Testing
- NDT Ultrasonic Testing
- NDT Radiographic Testing
- NDT Penetrant Testing
- NDG Visual Testing
The ‘inspect’ and ‘deal with’ units for each of the processes must be taken.
