Tickets that raise your rate

• Ultrasonic testing, Level 2

  The workhorse method for welds and pipe. Phased array ultrasonic is the advanced version and pays a premium.

• Radiographic testing

  X-ray and gamma inspection. Extra radiation safety training and a licence for the source.

• Welding inspector (CWB, the Canadian Welding Bureau)

  Pairs naturally with NDT (non-destructive testing) and opens supervisory jobs.

• Level 3

  The top certificate. Few hold it, and inspection companies need one to run a lab.
