From Houston, Texas during the ASNT 2023 annual conferenceRichard Blaser from Inspenet had the pleasure of interviewing Don Booth, CEO from American Institute of Nondestructive Testing(AINDT), With a clear pioneering edge in online pre-pandemic education and its hybrid teaching model, they are setting the course for the future of specialized technical training.

Successfully adapting to changing industry needs

“At AINDT, we recognize that theoretical training is as crucial as practical experience. That’s why, in addition to our acclaimed online learning platform, we offer a hands-on lab supervised by live instructors, ensuring our students are prepared for real challenges in the field. “

Free accommodation to your students

With a notable investment in a hotel remodel in 2020, AINDT has made educational history by being the only school of its kind to provide free accommodation to its students. This initiative reflects the institute’s commitment to the accessibility and affordability of education at NDT.

The results speak for themselves

With over 500 graduates already placed in the industry and a growing waiting list of companies looking to tap their trained talent, AINDT is effectively addressing the demand for skilled technicians.

The institute has seen an increase in online enrollment, attributed to the need for continuing education during the pandemic and the growing acceptance of skilled trades. “The pendulum is swinging back toward valuing the trades,” Booth said.“Our graduates are proving that being an NDT technician is a promising and lucrative career.”

In addition, AINDT is stepping up its efforts to define and enhance practical, on-the-job training, ensuring that students not only receive theoretical education but also acquire essential practical skills. This comprehensive approach is preparing a new generation of highly competent, job-ready NDT technicians.

As the industry continues to advance, AINDT remains at the forefront, pushing the quality of NDT education to new levels. For more information about the institute and its programs, visit its website.
