NDT Classroom

What NDT Classroom does

NDT Classroom is a video-based online training platform that delivers certification preparation and professional development courses for the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry. Operated under the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) brand via the education.asnt.org domain, the platform targets working NDT technicians, quality managers, and NDT career entrants seeking credentials aligned with industry standards (ANSI/ASNT CP-105, SNT-TC-1A, NAS-410, and ASME Code). The catalog comprises 39+ eLearning courses spanning all major NDT methods — Visual Testing (VT), Magnetic Particle (MT), Penetrant (PT), Radiographic (RT), Ultrasonic (UT), Eddy Current (ET), Phased Array (PAUT), and Infrared Thermography — plus an adjacent metallurgy track covering hardness testing, failure analysis, and aluminum metallurgy.

The platform is built on Forj LMS from Forj Software, Inc., which provides the underlying course delivery, user authentication, progress tracking, and certificate generation infrastructure. Content is delivered as on-demand video, interactive exercises, and assessments; a free introductory course (Nondestructive Testing for Beginners) serves as a top-of-funnel acquisition asset. Distribution is self-serve product-led growth: customers browse and purchase directly through the ASNT Education web catalog without sales interaction, with course discovery driven by ASNT's organizational channels and standard web search.

Revenue is generated through a two-tier model: one-time individual course purchases (with members receiving 10-20% discounts relative to non-members) and a recurring All-Access Pass annual bundle ($679 members / $779 non-members) covering the full metallurgy catalog. Course prices range from $0 (introductory) to $2,190 (Digital Radiography Level II for non-members). The business is a lean operation (11-50 employees) functioning primarily as a member-benefit and certification-prep revenue center for ASNT rather than a venture-scale commercial enterprise, with no disclosed funding, enterprise customers, or geographic expansion beyond English and a single Spanish-language course.
