Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

ISO/TS 25108:2018(E)
Introduction
Since the effectiveness of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel is dependent on the technical
knowledge acquired, a system to evaluate and document the appropriate theoretical and practical
knowledge competencies of personnel is required.
To harmonize and maintain training and certification of NDT personnel, this document for NDT training
organizations, together with NDT training syllabuses (ISO/TS 25107) have been developed with the
intent to serve those involved in training to achieve a uniform level of training, training material and
consequently competence of personnel.

4 General
A planned and systematic training process can make an important contribution in helping a training
organization to improve its capabilities and to meet its objectives.
For selecting and implementing training to address gaps between required and existing competence
requirements, training organizations shall monitor the following stages:
a) defining training needs;
b) designing and planning training;
c) providing training;
d) evaluating the outcome of training.
Training curriculum shall be developed to establish a clear understanding of the training objectives
and the learning outcomes that define what the student will be able to achieve as a result of the training
and to ensure that the basic knowledge required by students in continuing to fulfil their training needs
are met.
This can include initial training in areas such as math, materials and processes and safety.
Training objectives shall be based on the expected competence as developed for the training needs in
order to ensure the effective delivery of training. They should consider the following:
a) training needs;
b) students;
c) training methods;
d) outline of content;
e) lesson plans;
2 © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

ISO/TS 25108:2018(E)
f) duration;
g) resources required;
h) delivery mode.
Criteria for evaluating the training outcomes and monitoring the training process should be defined.
5 Training organization management
The training organization shall appoint a person to be responsible for the overall management of the
training centre and courses.
A person should also be appointed to be responsible for establishing a quality management system
covering all aspects of the training services provided.
6 Quality management system
The training organization shall have a suitable quality management system which is documented and
ensures the effective delivery of the training requirements.
EXAMPLE A documented quality management system based on ISO 9001 is an example of method of
satisfying this requirements.
The system shall be controlled and periodically reviewed according to the stipulations (for example,
ISO 9712, ISO/TS 25107) in the quality management system.
Where the competence of an individual is based on appropriate education, training, skills and
experience, the training organization shall:
— determine the necessary competence for training staff performing work affecting the NDT training
quality;
— provide training or take other actions to satisfy these needs; and
— evaluate the effectiveness of the action taken.
7 Induction of students
The training organization shall provide all information and conditions necessary for attendance in the
training.
For example, a system of induction should ensure that, upon receipt of an application for training,
students are provided with unambiguous information/instructions on the following:
— prior knowledge requirements (i.e. math, materials and processes, radiation safety);
— training fees, including all that is covered by the fees, and methods of payment (there should be no
hidden extras requiring further payments, and a schedule of course fees should be published);
— dates and times for course attendance, and clear instructions concerning the location of the
training venue;
— transport (including information on parking), accommodation and catering arrangements;
— NDT equipment required to be provided by the student, and/or details of the NDT equipment
provided by the training organization;
ISO/TS 25108:2018(E)
— personal protective equipment, if required, and details of the essential safety requirements
pertaining to the training venue, especially where the training includes the use of ionizing radiation
or substances hazardous to health;
— any textbooks that the student is required to provide;
— the name and contact information of a training organization representative from whom additional
information can be obtained prior to or during the training.
8 Student assessment
A system of ongoing assessment of students shall be used to ensure that the learning progress of the
individual student is monitored, and which results in counselling for those students who fail to achieve
the required standard at any point during the course.

Figure 1 — Student assessment
The training organization shall have a system in place to ensure every effort is made for safeguarding
the integrity of training examinations no matter what training format is used.
NOTE Training format can include in-class training or distance education including e-learning (Annex B
provides guidance on e-learning).
A traceable statement of completion of training shall be issued, including the list of trainers, following
final evaluation. This statement shall contain the result of the final evaluation.
Contracts between the training organization and the student, and/or representative, shall highlight the
possible consequences of the student not meeting the requirements at any assessment point during
training.
9 Training curriculum and course notes
The training organization should publish and make freely available upon request a training outline
for each course offered. This outline should cover the relevant elements of the syllabus referenced in
ISO 9712.
The training curriculum shall be designed to balance both theoretical and practical elements. For
Levels 1 and 2 training organizations should dedicate (50 ± 10) % of the minimum training requirement
to practical exercises.
The training organization shall maintain a master set of training notes bearing a revision date, to ensure
consistency between courses in the event of instructor changes. The master set shall be reviewed
