Certification
Did you know that attending InfraMation helps qualify you to renew your ITC Thermographer Certification? Here's how the program works: for every contact hour you attend at InfraMation technical sessions (General Session, Clinics, Poster Session, and Panel Discussions), you earn 1 ITC Certification Renewal Credit. Just make sure we document your attendance at each session you attend. If you earn your credits at InfraMation conferences, we waive the $145 fee.
Certifications are valid for 5 years. All ITC certified thermographers renewing their certification level are required to meet continuing education or professional contribution requirements. Your certification can be renewed either by: a) attending another ITC certification course or b) show continuing involvement in thermography as outlined below:
- Show proof of continuous employment requiring thermographic work over the current certification period, PLUS earn 32 recertification credits in any combination of the following activities:
- Write a published infrared technical paper for a thermography conference (16 credits each) or an infrared article published in a technical trade journal, industry magazine, or the ITC InfraMation newsletter (1 credit per 100 words). Submit a copy of the article with a recertification form and fee of $145 USD*.
- Attend sessions at a thermography conference or ITC
application course (1 credit per contact hour). Attendance at all morning and
afternoon sessions is tracked by a barcode badge scanning process. Every
attendee will be sent a report of completed contact hours upon conclusion of
the conference. When submitting your recertification package to the ITC,
you will need to include a copy of this report along with a Recertification Form and fee of $145*.
- Maintain continued active employment in thermography and demonstrate efforts to keep abreast of new developments in the field.
*Attendees and authors at the ITC InfraMation thermography conference or students at an ITC infrared application course are exempt from the infrared thermography recertification fee.
