How the NDT Methods Are Taught:

Students are required to join and stay on online Zoom meeting at times listed above (depending on Day or Night class) where the instructor will be live with you for the entire duration mentioned in the schedule. You will watch videos together, solve quizzes, test out, and participate in one-on-one and group activities with the instructor, all from the comfort of your home. Joining zoom meeting is equivalent to attending that particular day. Once you are on the zoom, you will have your own student account which will have all the online courses. You can access these courses at anytime, from anywhere, even after graduation. While on zoom each student will log in to their own account and complete the modules. Using ‘Breakout Rooms’ feature in zoom, you can ask questions one-on-one to the instructor. (students are more likely to ask questions when no other students are listening). Another advantage of this format is that you can rewatch a video multiple times before you can grasp the concept as opposed to instructor teaching on a powerpoint where if you were day dreaming or distracted, you miss it! If you want to learn how it all works, email us and we will be glad to schedule a demo.

Additionally, students will have 1 week of hands-on training to put all their acquired knowledge into practice, but that’s optional to attend (we recommend not to miss it).

Here is how much you can expect to get paid, (according to indeed’s research):

We have some students earning in the $42-47/hr range and with overtime. It adds up to $110k plus annual salary within a couple of years of work experience. 

Other Benefits:

• Enrolled through Foothills College, making you eligible to receive 26 college credits for a future Associates or Bachelors degree at this college only.

• Help with resume building and job placement.

• Course fee of $7495 waived off for California residents only (except book fee of $325 which can be paid in two installments). Which means if you are a California resident, your only cost for the course is the book fees. (other state residents can contact us directly to see if there are any funding opportunities available)
