Verify an individual's ASNT (American Society for Nondestructive Testing) certification, understanding the split between employer-run SNT-TC-1A programs and ASNT's centrally issued credentials.

Steps

1. Use ASNT's public certificate/qualification holder search (mycert.asntcertification.org) to verify centrally issued credentials, primarily the ASNT NDT Level III / ACCP (ASNT Central Certification Program) credential.
2. Understand that most Level I/II NDT technician certifications are issued in-house by employers under the SNT-TC-1A recommended practice — ASNT does not centrally certify or list most Level I/II techs, so there may be nothing to find for those.
3. If verifying Level I/II, request the employer's written practice and the individual's certification record directly from the employer, since no independent public registry covers those levels.
4. For Level III/ACCP results, confirm both the NDT method(s) and expiration date shown in the search results.
5. Cross-check that the SNT-TC-1A edition your contract cites (e.g., 2020 or 2024) matches what the employer's program actually references — the document is revised roughly every five years.
