What Others Say

Since 1980, Infraspection Institute has trained thousands of thermographers worldwide. Our list of satisfied clients includes some of the world’s largest and most recognized companies as well as dozens of small and mid-sized companies.

Our grads constantly tell us that we have the industry’s most comprehensive training courses. This is especially flattering when they tell us that they have attended other courses and were exposed to only a fraction of what we teach in our classes. Here is what some of our grads tell us about our courses:

"A master thermographer took 40 minutes out of his morning commute just to answer my questions. Zero ROI for him. That is the kind of people who trained me."
Kevin Padilla
AeroVis
"This course is a must-take! I have been certified by two other companies previously; however, the Infraspection course is the most informative. Jim Seffrin’s 40+ years’ experience left no questions unanswered."
Michael Marsh
Global Risk Consultants
"I would like to sincerely thank you for the outstanding quality of the course and the high level of instruction provided by the instructor. The training experience has been excellent and truly valuable for my professional development."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your class. You, and the staff of Infraspection have created a truly excellent program. The lessons taught through lecture provided me with invaluable information that was reinforced in each workshop. Thanks to you and your team for creating such a great curriculum."
Jordan Gleaton

Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility

"I think this is an outstanding class (Distance Learning Level I). The information is presented in an easy-to-understand format and with clarity. The class has helped me to put together an IR predictive maintenance program. I highly recommend this class to individuals entering this field."
Laura J. Benbrooks
ALCOA
"This is the best course (Distance Learning Level I) that I’ve ever taken. This course is very interesting and the questions at the end of each section are great. The course kept my interest all the way to the end. As a matter of fact, I went back through it again, just to review the questions. It’s a very good course and very informative, in an easy-to-understand format."
Eliseo Guevara
ALCOA
"Infraspection helped me realize the importance of the certification process to provide quality training and a thorough understanding of thermography. I don’t feel I could have received better training anywhere else."
