Before starting the IR Thermography Course with Chief Instructor Mr. Ivan Wong, I had trouble applying infrared technology effectively. Ivan’s course was clear and hands-on, which made a big difference in my understanding. It’s been really helpful for my work, and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about infrared thermography.
