ITC Introduction to Thermography Online Course
The ITC Introduction to Thermography Course is an accessible one day online training designed for complete beginners exploring thermal imaging. Ideal for electricians, maintenance technicians, building inspectors, and HVAC professionals, this live Zoom session explains how thermal cameras work and how to use them safely and accurately in applications like electrical and building inspections.
Aligned with ITC foundational standards, the course helps you understand emissivity, heat transfer, image interpretation and why thermal patterns can be misleading. Completing this course builds confidence in capturing thermal images correctly and lays the groundwork before progressing to formal Level 1 thermography qualifications.
Why take the ITC Introduction to Thermography Course?
This course offers a solid foundation in thermal imaging, enabling you to avoid common mistakes and use your camera with competence. It provides industry-relevant knowledge applicable in trades such as electrical maintenance, energy auditing, and building diagnostics, where early detection of faults via thermal inspections is increasingly vital.
Delivered live online by ITC-trained instructors, the session features interactive labs and real-world case studies. You’ll understand how to configure a camera for best results, spot thermal anomalies and begin basic reporting—all without needing formal technical qualifications.
