Infrared Inspection II

Infrared Inspection with Level II Certification

CRE Infrared Thermography Training Level II Certification Preparation provides advanced knowledge for professionals expanding their expertise in thermal imaging and condition monitoring. This program is designed to deepen diagnostic competency while preparing participants to pursue Infrared Thermography Level II certification, accredited under ISO/IEC 17024. This training builds upon foundational thermography concepts and focuses on developing higher-level inspection and analysis skills. Participants learn advanced thermal theory, quantitative measurement techniques, image interpretation, and professional reporting—enabling more accurate diagnostics, improved maintenance decision-making, and stronger reliability outcomes. Upon successful completion, participants receive Level II Infrared Thermography certification issued by Moody International, validating competence in advanced thermographic inspections and analysis.

Why Infrared Inspection Training Matters

Infrared inspection plays a critical role in modern predictive maintenance and reliability programs. When applied correctly, thermal imaging allows organizations to identify developing equipment issues before they escalate into costly failures or safety incidents. However, without proper training, infrared inspections can lead to misinterpretation, missed defects, or inaccurate reporting.

CRE’s Infrared Inspection Training equips professionals with the technical understanding and practical skills needed to perform accurate inspections, interpret thermal patterns, and make informed maintenance decisions. By building competency in thermography fundamentals and diagnostic techniques, organizations can improve asset reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and enhance operational safety.

Effective infrared inspection supports condition-based maintenance strategies by providing early detection of electrical, mechanical, and process-related anomalies—helping teams move from reactive repairs to proactive asset care.

Infrared Thermography Level II Certification Requirements

Infrared Thermography Level II certification is intended for individuals with practical experience in thermography who are ready to advance their technical capabilities. While CRE’s training provides comprehensive preparation, candidates must meet the certification body’s official requirements to earn certification.

General certification requirements typically include:

• Completion of formal Level II Infrared Thermography training aligned with internationally recognized standards
• A valid Infrared Thermography Level I certificate
• A minimum of 6 months of practical thermography experience
• Familiarity with thermal imaging camera operation and basic analysis software
• Successful completion of both written and practical examinations
• Compliance with certification and ethics requirements established by the accrediting body

Level II certification emphasizes advanced thermal measurement accuracy, quantitative analysis, anomaly identification, and professional reporting across electrical, mechanical, and process applications.

CRE’s certification preparation training is structured to support these requirements by reinforcing exam topics, field techniques, and real-world diagnostic expectations
