What NDT Consultancy Services Inc does

NDT Consultancy Services Inc is a Texas-incorporated vocational institute founded January 4, 2008 by S.B. Prasad, operating a single training facility at 8714 Jones Rd in Houston, Texas. The company delivers Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) education and certification across nine major inspection methods — Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, Ultrasonic, Radiographic, Eddy Current, Visual/Optical, Magnetic Flux Leakage, Digital Radiographic, and RT Film Interpretation — at Levels I and II, plus Level III consulting. Courseware is delivered through both instructor-led classroom programs and a web-based online catalog covering individual courses ($475–$3,200) and bundled packages ($1,250–$8,000), with diploma-level TQM programs priced up to $25,000.

The business holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, Texas Workforce Commission Career School license #S4926, VA GI Bill approval under chapters 30/31/33/35/1606, and WIOA-approved training provider status across five Texas workforce regions. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: individual tuition (cash, GI Bill, WIOA-funded), corporate training contracts (named enterprise clients include NCI Building Systems, Thomas & Betts, V&M Tube-Alloy, Enventure Global Technology, and National Oilwell Varco/Gammaloy), NDT Level III consulting, and inspection/auditing professional services. Distribution spans direct on-campus enrollment, online self-serve, WIOA/VA referrals, employer partnerships with placement support (e.g., Code Inspection & Testing Co.), and third-party student financing via Lumion.

The company employs 1–10 people and is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no acquisitions, and a founder-led management structure (President S.B. Prasad). Operational milestones include the March 2020 pivot to virtual training during COVID-19 and the October 2020 relocation to the current Jones Road facility. Student outcomes supported by the program include entry-level wages of $17/hour progressing to $35–36/hour at Level II certification, with graduates placed across oil and gas, petrochemical, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction sectors.
