For over 30 years, thermographer credentials have been routinely referred to based upon an individual’s level of certification. Up until now, it has been customary to issue one of three certification levels (I, II, or III) to students who have completed formal infrared training classes dedicated to the use and application of thermal imagers. Because this practice does not consider an individual’s experience, it is impossible to determine a thermographer’s qualifications based solely upon such certification.
Responding to requests from thermographers and consumers alike, the Infraspection Institute Master Thermographer® Program is a unique approach to establishing thermographer qualifications. Unlike certifications that rely solely upon the completion of formal training classes, this program is based upon thermographer training, experience, and professional references.
The following is a list of individuals that currently qualify for the Infraspection Institute Master Thermographer® designation. To view an individual’s credentials, click on the view profile button.
