All,
Does the method training ever expire? To better explain see examples below ...
1) New employee has been trained in VT, PT, & MT Methods and has certification to prove he/she has met the required hours in past employment. the person has performed in the methods prior to leaving that employer 3 years ago.
2) New employee has been trained in MT and VT methods, has certificates showing he/she is certified. Person had performed in the methods for 3 years but has not performed in either method for 10 years.
In both cases above the person has completed the training and hours as required and also performed in the methods after receiving the certification.
Questions:
1) Is the training still valid in each case?
2) If the training is still valid, they would only need to be recertified?
3) If both above are "yes" person 1 would meet recommendations in 12.1 (ASNT-SNT-TC-1A:2020) or would need to test per 12.2?
4) What about person 2?
Sorry for the long post, trying to get some good clarification.
Thank you!!
