Standards alignment

SNT-TC-1A & NAS-410.

Every course we deliver is built to ASNT recommended practice SNT-TC-1A (2020) — and where the client supports the aerospace or defense supply chain, also to NAS-410 (Rev 5). NAS-410 alignment is a hard requirement for the casting and sheet-metal fabrication shops feeding aerospace primes.

Why dYdX NDT

Built differently from the typical Level III consultancy.

Single-vendor delivery

One contract, one invoicing relationship, one set of student records — across the entire NDT curriculum. No more coordinating a network of single-method 1099 contractors.

In-house ASNT Level III oversight

Curriculum, examinations, and certification documentation are unified under our Responsible Level III, who holds active certifications across PT, MT, UT, RT, VT, ET, PAUT, and IRRS.
