Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
Weld and bolt inspection, including a water-column technique that needs no wedge, like immersion testing, and flexible probes for pipe elbows.
TRAINING PROGRAMMES
Six programmes, one goal: safe work.
Classes are held in person in Batam. DROPS and API 4G can also be joined over Zoom. You can learn the NDT, LGI, DROPS and API 4G theory first in the online courses at Highkey Academy. Public classes follow the schedule, and private classes can be arranged. Ask for dates and fees on WhatsApp.
NDT Level I & II
Conventional non-destructive testing for new technicians and for technicians moving up a level. Take one method or several.
HIGHKEY ACADEMY · START ONLINE
Master the theory on your phone. Lesson 1 is free.
All six methods below have a full online course at Highkey Academy. Come to class with the theory already solid, so your time in Batam goes to the practical and the exam.
- Narrated interactive lessons in Indonesian and English
- Equipment simulators: UT flaw detector, eddy current, RT exposure, MT, PT and VT
- Question bank with a timed mock exam
- The Level II workbook, readable online
- No time limit on your access

Advanced NDT
Advanced techniques for inspectors who deal with corrosion and welds on assets in service.
Short Range Ultrasonic Testing
Annular plates of storage tanks while the tank stays in service, and corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS) without lifting the pipe.
Pulsed Eddy Current
Corrosion and flaws in ferrous material hidden under coating, fireproofing or insulation.
ASNT NDT Level III preparation
Preparing the next generation of NDT experts, taught directly by an ASNT NDT Level III mentor.
CONTENT
- Penetrant Testing
- Magnetic Particle Testing
- Ultrasonic Testing
- Eddy Current Testing
- Visual Testing
Lifting gear inspection
For inspectors and technicians who examine lifting accessories and machines, onshore and offshore.
CONTENT
- Lifting accessories
- Lifting machines, manual and power: chain hoists, lever hoists, wire rope pullers, overhead cranes, winches and more
- Offshore containers
Dropped Object Prevention Scheme
For everyone who works at height or below it: recognising, assessing and preventing dropped object risks.
