Course Overview

Infrared Thermography Level-1 Refresher Course is a scheduled 1-Day Onsite Training designed for Certified Thermographers seeking to re-engage in fieldwork and resume active practice.
 
This programme restores hands-on confidence, supports continuous professional development, and renews certification relevance through up-to-date thermal inspection regulations.
 
You’ll revisit essential thermographic principles—including the Four-T framework (Temperature, Tool, Target, Technique), guided image analysis, case study reviews, and practical simulations. You’ll also be introduced to advanced diagnostic approaches that enhance your interpretation skills in real-world fault scenarios.
 
Upon successful completion, you are awarded a Level-1 Refresher Certificate of Attendance, reaffirming your current proficiency in line with current operational practices and industry standards.

Refresher Course includes topics on:
  • Recap of core thermography concepts with emerging infrared technologies.
  • Essential thermal techniques to minimise reflection and emissivity errors.
  • Infrared radiometry principles and electromagnetic laws.
  • Thermal physics fundamentals (heat transfer, conductivity and more)
  • Updated field inspection best practices.
  • Advanced infrared camera features (detectors, optics, sensors).

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.
