Nondestructive Evaluation Program
NDE Certification and Training Program
Project Introduction
The OSMA NDE Certification and Training Program was established to supplement training and certification opportunities for NASA CS employees. Historically, programs have been responsible for training and certification; however, programs often don’t consider NDE until after issues arise and also typically do not invest, in advance, in NDE training since they don’t appreciate what is needed later.
The purpose of this effort is to supplement this training need by providing the following opportunities:
- Formal Training
- Cross-training (aka OJT)
- Certification

Anticipated Benefits
This training program is intended to:
- Strengthen our core capabilities
- Make us more effective “smart buyers”
- Standardize some of our approaches by learning from one another
