Training Courses: Part One
Accredited Training Establishments – Validated Courses available

All courses listed below are approved as suitable preparation for the corresponding PCN examinations.
Note: Courses validated as suitable pre-approval training for PCN examinations also broadly satisfy the General Theory and Product Technology requirements of employer-based schemes (eg MIL STD 410 and SNT TC 1A). Any course offered under a company-based certification scheme must also satisfy the requirements of the employer's written practice and training programme. It is the
employer's responsibility that any necessary company specific training that would fall outside the validated course syllabus and content is adequately addressed. Condition Monitoring courses are in accordance with ISO18436 and CMGEN.

Numbers in bold type indicate the certification level at which the course(s) are aligned.
Letter(s) in brackets indicate the product sector to which each course is aligned.
