Third Party Certification Agencies
Knowledge is the first milestone. Certification is what lets you take that expertise anywhere the industry needs you. Use these organizations to keep your credentials recognized, portable, and aligned with employer requirements.

Company-specific certifications often stay with your employer. Third-party credentials from ASNT, AWS, API, and other governing bodies ensure your qualifications travel with you and satisfy global standards.
Review the agencies below to identify the exams, prerequisites, and renewal cycles that match your method and career path.

Turn knowledge into portable credentials
Governing bodies define the exams, hours, and work experience required to certify technicians. Choose the pathway that aligns with your method, sector, and inspection level goals.
Keep your certifications transferable
When you invest in third-party credentials, you retain the ability to move between employers and projects without losing status. Maintain your logbooks, renew on schedule, and stay audit-ready.
