FLIR announces 2020 dates for Category 1 thermography course

Thermal imaging cameras are becoming more intelligent and intuitive, allowing professionals across many industries to use thermal in a more efficient and safe manner. However, operator skill is still required to understand the science of thermography, how to operate related equipment and the scope of the applications to accurately interpret findings. 

The FLIR Infrared Training Center Category 1 course offers a solution. This four-day course prepares the operator for qualification as a Category 1 certified thermographer. Students learn the basics of infrared and how to operate a camera under different conditions and for various purposes. Most importantly they are guided on how to make judgements in the field and identify potential error sources.  

ITC Category 1 courses will be held at any of the following locations in the UK from April through December 2020.  Please go to: http://www.irtraining.eu to register.
