IRTCAT-I INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION
This course will prepare you for life as an Infrared Thermographer. You will learn the fundamentals of infrared energy and the camera, and you will learn about the most common applications.
Our IRTCAT-I ISO Category I course will set you up for success.
The good news is you are in the right place to get further information about our thermography category I training. Infrared Thermography is far more complex than most people realize. It is a classic case of people not knowing what they don’t know. Learn the Mobius way; through our unique animations and simulators. Our training will make all the complex science easy to understand – it will all become second nature.
Once you complete the training, you can take the exam with confidence, and become certified to ISO 18436-7 Category I via the internationally respected Mobius Institute Board of Certification [MIBoC]™. The MIBoC certification is accredited to ISO/IEC 17024 – there is no higher standard. You will join thousands of other Mobius™ certified analysts around the world.

- Set up and operate thermal imaging equipment for safe thermographic data collection
- Verify the calibration of thermographic measurement systems
- Identify, prevent, minimize, and control poor data acquisition and error sources
- Apply a specified thermographic measurement technique
- Evaluate and report test results and highlight areas of concern

There are so many benefits to taking this course. You will learn…
- Why do we perform condition monitoring
- How to decide between reactive, preventive, condition-based, and proactive maintenance
- Vibration Analysis, Ultrasound Analysis, Oil Analysis, Wear Particle Analysis, and Electric Motor Testing
- All about heat vs. temperature and temperature scales
- The laws of thermodynamics
- How the thermal conductivity occurs in different materials
- The difference between thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity
- Real-life examples in conductive heat transfer
- Convective heat transfer
- How will wind affect the results you achieve
- Radiant heat transfer
- How your infrared camera works and all functionalities to perform inspections
- How to acquire data and process images
- “Thermal tuning”
- How to determine the emissivity
- How to identify and deal with reflections
- How to acquire data and store images
- The basic principles of diagnostics and prognostics
- The relationship between CBM, diagnostics, and prognostics
- The different thermal signatures of heat generation
- The concept of “comparative temperature measurements”
- How to distinguish between active and passive thermography
- You should be recognized for your achievements; not everyone is up to the challenge of understanding thermography, let alone successfully collecting data and utilizing it
- Being certified by an accredited certification organization is a major step up from simply passing a test. Yes, the process is a little more complicated and stricter, but that is for very good reasons
- The educational process is extremely valuable, but being certified tells an employer (or a consulting client) that you are capable of doing an important job

MIBoC uses the Ishihara Color Perception Test, also known as the color vision test to measure a person’s ability to tell the difference between colours. Ishihara test checks for red-green colour blindness.
In an Ishihara test, a person looks at a series of circles (known as Ishihara plates) with dots of different colors and sizes. A person who has trouble seeing red and green will find the shapes and numbers hard to see, or may not see them at all.
