TRAINING & EXAMINATIONS

DARES believes in education as the main tool of companies and individuals to achieve business and personal goals.

Both for internal training and customers, we believe that the effectiveness of the training can not be obtained by crystallizing teaching in forms and fixed content. It should be dynamically adapted to the targets. For this reason, in addition to courses organized periodically, DARES plans training paths calibrated to the customer, on the base of its specific needs. They range from introductory sessions to courses that are extremely specialized or finalized to qualification/certification and defined contexts (quality, design, production, trade, auditing, etc.).

The training is intended, in general, both as classroom training (including practical exercises) and, in many cases, as on-the-job-training (ie in industrial or lab contexts with certified and experienced personnel).

The subjects of the training are Nondestructive Testing (NDT), Special Processes, Quality and Business Management.

In the context of the NAS410/EN4179 standards, for the NDT qualification and exams for Levels 1, 2 and 3 (the latter limited to the supplementary exams of the ones provided by ITANDTB), DARES is a seat of the CFECND Training and Examination Center accredited by the Italian NDT Board (ITA-012/CAE).
DARES is also a Boeing (D1-4426) approved source for the NAS410 Level 3 certification for the methods ET, MT, PT, RT, UT.
The CFECND (center for NDT training and exams) is a S.c.a.r.l. born from the joint effort of DARES and AERONDI. The center provides educational offerings and exam administration conforming to the highest international standards in the sector, providing experienced and qualified instructors and examiners, modern classrooms, constantly updated teaching aids, state-of-the-art technological equipment, and a great variety of samples.
