FOR INFORMATION :
This course is for candidates wishing to register for the COF-REND LT level 3 certification exam.
The level 3 certification exam has two types of test, a so-called «basic» exam and an exam on the main method for which the exam is being passed. The LT 3 course prepares for the main method exam. The so called «basic» exam is a general written exam. It covers the candidate’s knowledge of technology and material engineering applied to his/her sector of activity, the knowledge of certification rules and the general knowledge of four nondestructive control methods (including the main method) with a test of 60 level 2 questions. Contact us for the list of centers offering preparations for this exam. Furthermore, to be able to register for the COFREND level 3 certification exam, it is mandatory to succeed in the level 2 exam.
