Control NDT Certification Records with Confidence
Keep training, experience, exams, vision tests, approvals, and renewals organized in one controlled system so you can prove competence, stay current, and pass audits without scrambling.
One System for Complete NDT Certification Control
Built for the Full NDT Certification Lifecycle
Non destructive testing (NDT) certification isn’t a one-time event. It’s an ongoing process that requires documented training, verified experience, controlled examinations, periodic vision testing, and authorized technical approvals. DL QualityCore manages NDT personnel qualification records in accordance with industry standards such as Nadcap, ensuring certification records remain formal, auditable documentation of each technician’s qualifications, training, and experience.
By centralizing certification-related records within a controlled quality system, organizations gain consistent oversight across all methods and levels. Automated workflows, reminders, and reporting reduce the risk of missed requirements while providing clear visibility into certification status.

NDT Certification Records FAQs
Organizations are expected to maintain controlled records documenting formal training, hands-on experience, written and practical examinations, vision and color perception testing, technical reviews, and certification or authorization decisions. These records must clearly demonstrate that personnel are trained, qualified, authorized, and current.
NDT certification is not a one-time event. Vision examinations, technical evaluations, and certification renewals must be completed on defined schedules, and organizations must ensure personnel do not perform inspections under expired, suspended, or incomplete certification status. Auditors expect proof of uninterrupted compliance over time.
Manual tracking methods such as spreadsheets, calendars, and ad hoc reminders rely heavily on individual diligence. As certification programs grow more complex, the risk of missed deadlines increases and often discovered during audits or after nonconforming work has already occurred.
Certification decisions, examinations, and approvals must be reviewed by authorized technical personnel, with documentation showing who approved each step and under what authority. Even when external experts assist, responsibility for maintaining compliant certification records remains with the employer.
Certification activities often require multiple reviews and approvals, particularly when evaluating training equivalency, prior experience, exam results, or authorization decisions. Automated workflows ensure these steps occur in the correct order and that required approvals are captured before certifications are issued or updated.
Automated reminders ensure that renewals, vision examinations, evaluations, and approval reviews occur on time. Rather than relying on individuals to remember deadlines, the system proactively prompts action, helping prevent lapses that could result in suspended or expired certification status.
Reporting provides real-time visibility into certification status, upcoming expirations, and incomplete requirements across personnel. This visibility allows organizations to address gaps proactively and demonstrate control, consistency, and oversight during audits.
Certification records are not static administrative files. They must remain accurate, complete, current, and auditable throughout their lifecycle. Managing these records within a structured document control system reduces compliance risk and creates a defensible history of certification decisions and changes.
