>> Narrator: If you're looking to complete your education faster
and start making money sooner,
Nondestructive testing may be the
career world's best kept secret.
In aviation, or any industry
where structural integrity is important,
nondestructive testing reveals fatal flaws too small
for the human eye to detect
such as stress fractures
or weld failures.
>> Peter Harris, Spartan College: It's a really exciting industry
that is growing dramatically in the United States and elsewhere.
>> Cecil Cummings, QC/NDT Program Coordinator:
Nondestructive testing is important in today's society
and industry because it guarantees
that the material and products
that are made are safe to use,
and without that, it puts people's lives in danger.

>> Narrator: Beyond aviation,
industries eager for NDT technicians
include aerospace, ship building
extreme construction such as skyscrapers,
bridges, and off-shore oil rigs, even theme parks.
Really, any industry where public safety is critical.

>> Stephen Bertolet, Recruter for Mistras Group, Inc.: If you are interested
in being in an industrial setting
and learning a skillset
that's such a niche skillset but the demand
is so high, then coming to Spartan
is a great decision just because of the amount of
job opportunities out there in our industry is endless.
>> Denise Batchelor, Quality Control Management Instructor: I think that what sets Spartan apart
from other colleges is instructors.

They want to see people succeed. It's so important
for everybody to realize how big
the quality industry has become.
