Infrared Thermography Training

No. The course teaches what to point a camera at, in what conditions, and how to judge what comes back. That is the part most camera owners are missing. Every practice task has a version you can do with a notebook and a plant walk. If you do have a camera, or a clip-on thermal module for your phone, use it.

Nothing formal. It is written for electrical and mechanical maintenance staff, substation and MCC technicians, plant reliability engineers and solar site staff. If you can read a single line diagram or identify a bearing housing, you have enough.

No, and it must not be described as one. Level 1 thermographer courses are paid and classroom based. They include a practical examination with a camera in your hands. They come from bodies such as the Infrared Training Center, or are built on ISO 18436-7 and ASNT SNT-TC-1A. This course is preparation and background reading for that. EDWartens is not affiliated with any of those bodies and issues no credential on their behalf.

Most published severity tables online come from American practice such as NFPA and NETA. That includes the delta-T criteria quoted everywhere. The notes say so plainly. They teach the method that transfers: compare like with like under similar load, and record the conditions. Then set your own plant's action thresholds in writing. Do not borrow a table you cannot justify.

Five content modules and a final. That is about two and a half hours of video lessons, and roughly five hours in total with the practice tasks and practice questions. It is a short foundation course, not a full Level 1 syllabus. It says so rather than padding itself out.

Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you have finished every module and passed the final at 60 percent, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
