Course Overview
Looking to incorporate thermography into your line of services or simply planning to use it regularly as a part of your operations? Be you an electrician, a veterinarian, a technician or a plumber, we’re here to help you get fully acquainted with your infrared thermographer. With thorough thermal imaging training, you can learn the ins and outs of your infrared camera and thermography equipment, as well as how best to set it up for the perfect shot.
We also teach you how to read your thermal imaging, an essential part of thermographic camera training. You’ll learn how to read the various colours and what they mean, and learn to discern heat sources and their severity. You’ll also learn the benefits of multiple sessions of thermal imaging, from when machinery is turned off, to turned on, to turned off again, to see how the machinery behaved throughout its operation.
