It is a highly emotionaland sometimes controversial subject which directly affect the livelihood of most NDT practitioners. There has been widespread misunderstandingand abuse of this process and it is hoped that this seminar will help clear up some of the problems. While other certification program will primarily dealwith the world's most widely used program, SNT-TC-IA. The ultimate goal of this seminar will be to provide guidance to assure that the certificationand qualification of NDT personnel is done properly and in a way that will be beneficial to the employer and the practitioners.Instructor Charles J.

Conference OrganizersSaudi Arabian Section of theAmerican Society for NondestructiveTesting (ASNT-SAS)The Saudi Arabian Section (SAS) of the American Society forNondestructive Testing was chartered in 1999. Since then, thesection has grown to over 250 individual and corporatemembers. The section was founded in order to promote thedescipline of NDT as a profession, provide a forum for exchangeof NDT technical information through educational materials andprograms, and facilitate standards and services for thequalification and certification of NDT personnel. SAS hasestablished three successful regional conferences on NDT inBahrain and Saudi Arabia. The SAS section is the most activesection with the highest standing among the worldwide NDTcommunity.THE BAHRAIN SOCIETY OF ENGINEERSThe Bahrain Society of Engineers (BSE) was establishedin July 1972 by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs(MLSA) as a professional institution that helps Bahrain’sEngineers to contribute substantially to the developmentand modernization of Bahrain.
