University Education and Training for the SGNDT Professional Certification

SGNDT is a new NDT professional certification scheme by NDT Society Singapore (NDTSS) and launched in 2017 after a rigorous audit process with the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC). The Singapore of Institute Technology (SIT) is the first Authorised Training Organisation (ATO) for SGNDT. SIT is a university of applied learning with education programmes that are geared towards human capital development for the industry and this includes NDT training. Through an engineering degree programme at SIT, an NDT curriculum is integrated that creates a novel learning pathway for students to gain the SGNDT certification. This learning pathway and pedagogy for the NDT curriculum are presented to demonstrate that students during their university education are able to achieve the SGNDT professional certification to be work-ready and be qualified to practice NDT upon graduation.
