Welcome to SAINT
Professional Body for NDT

ANDTc breathes what it was created for twenty years ago: to be a NDT centre of excellence in South Africa. Our BINDT approved training courses are renowned throughout South Africa. Our training is also approved by the South African Civil Aviation Authority.

We bring PCN certifications to every South African’s doorstep by offering the examinations in South Africa. In addition we assist local companies to have their technicians certified in accordance with their inhouse certification schemes, if that is what their customers require.

Our Level 3 consultants cover the main industrial sectors of Aerospace and the general industry (ASME/API/AWS and EN/ISO), and the fact that we we employ 6 of these specialists creates unprecedented depth in the level 3 services that we can provide. It is our objective to ensure that your NDT services are compliant with your customers’ requirements.

ANDTc’s inspection facility is set up to provide high throughput while still meeting the most stringent of quality requirements from the aviation industry. Who else out there develops 1800 films per day?
