NDT Consulting Group, Inc.

NDT Consulting Group, Inc. (NDT-CGI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) training, qualification, and consulting company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA, reachable at +1 (972) 418-5672 and support@ndtleveliii.com. Founded by William E. Blum and Eric L. Shaw, both holding NDT Level III certification in seven testing methods, NDT-CGI provides NDT quality systems consultancy, personnel qualification and certification training, procedural documentation development, technique data sheets, and NDT programme auditing. The company serves clients both at its Dallas training centre and on-site worldwide, with aviation identified as a primary industry sector alongside industrial manufacturing, petrochemical, structural engineering, and R&D.

NDT-CGI's training and certification programmes cover seven recognised non-destructive testing methods: Eddy Current Testing (ET), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Radiography (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), and Visual Inspection (VT). Training programmes are designed to comply with and prepare candidates for certification under industry standards including NAS 410 (aerospace NDT), SNT-TC-1A (ASNT personnel qualification), ATA 105 (civil aviation NDT procedures), ISO 9712 (NDT personnel qualification international standard), and other national and international standards. This standards portfolio confirms the company's active engagement with the aerospace and aviation MRO sector where NDT is a regulatory requirement for structural integrity verification.

The company's four-stage service model begins with a discovery call to assess client needs, followed by a customised service agreement, document review of existing employee files and procedures, and an on-site visit delivering classroom training and written and practical examinations. NDT-CGI promotes a philosophy of tailoring NDT training to the specific operational and regulatory context of each client, addressing the reality that NDT requirements in aerospace differ materially from those in other industries.
