FAQ

What is the Infrared Thermography CAT II course?

The Infrared Thermography CAT II course is an advanced training programme that equips professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to conduct professional-grade thermal imaging inspections at Category II level. The course covers advanced infrared theory, camera configuration, electrical and mechanical inspection techniques, building envelope assessment, thermal image analysis, CAT II report writing, and certification examination preparation, preparing participants for senior thermography inspection roles.

What is the difference between CAT I and CAT II infrared thermography?

CAT I infrared thermography introduces the fundamental principles of thermal imaging, basic camera operation, and entry-level inspection techniques. CAT II builds significantly on this foundation, developing advanced competencies in thermal image analysis, emissivity and environmental compensation, multi-discipline inspections, severity classification, and professional report writing. CAT II certified thermographers are qualified to conduct and lead independent inspection programmes and produce authoritative diagnostic reports for maintenance and management decision-making.

Do I need CAT I certification before joining the CAT II course?

While formal CAT I certification is not an absolute prerequisite for enrolment, it is strongly recommended. Participants without a CAT I background should have equivalent practical experience in infrared thermography and a solid understanding of basic thermal imaging principles. The CAT II programme assumes familiarity with foundational thermography concepts and builds directly upon them with advanced theory, analysis techniques, and professional inspection practice.

What industries use CAT II infrared thermography professionals?

CAT II infrared thermography professionals are employed across a wide range of industries including manufacturing, oil and gas, power generation and distribution, petrochemicals, building and construction, facilities management, aerospace, and defence. Any sector that relies on electrical systems, rotating machinery, or building infrastructure can benefit from CAT II thermographic inspections to support predictive maintenance, energy management, and safety compliance programmes.

How is the Infrared Thermography CAT II course delivered at Edoxi?

Edoxi delivers the Infrared Thermography CAT II course through three flexible formats: online virtual instructor-led training, face-to-face classroom sessions at Edoxi's training centre, and customised corporate training delivered at the client's premises, a hotel venue, or the Edoxi centre. All delivery modes are facilitated by certified thermography professionals and include practical camera operation exercises, image analysis sessions, report writing practice, and examination preparation support.
