Euromaterialprüfer

The German terms Werkstoffprüfung (materials testing) and Materialprüfung (material testing) describe branches of materials engineering. Werkstoffprüfung is often used for destructive testing methods, such as tensile testing or Charpy impact testing.

By contrast, Materialprüfung often covers non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, such as dye penetrant testing or ultrasonic testing.

After successfully completing the programme, graduates can work in quality assurance, materials testing or production control.

The qualification is particularly relevant to fields such as metal construction, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, welding technology, quality assurance and maintenance.

The qualification programme is often aimed at people wishing to work in technical, skilled trade or industrial fields. Its focus is on testing materials, components and welds.

Participants learn about different inspection methods for detecting internal and external defects. Depending on the course, these include visual testing, penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, ultrasonic testing and other NDT methods.
