What Infraspection Institute does

Infraspection Institute, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Burlington, New Jersey, is the oldest independent infrared thermography training and certification firm in the world. It has trained more than 10,000 thermographers worldwide through a three-tier Certified Infrared Thermographer® credential program (Levels I, II, III) plus a range of application-specific courses covering electrical systems, mechanical systems, building envelopes and roofs, home and building inspection, integrated pest management, weatherization, petrochemical facilities, optical gas imaging, body temperature screening, and small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). Curricula are aligned with American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements, and certifications carry no expiration date or renewal fee; they are recognized by InterNACHI, NETA, RCI, and SMRP for continuing education credit.

The business operates four revenue streams: training and certification course tuition ($748 refresher to $1,895 Level II), an annual four-day IR/INFO Conference in Orlando ($1,395 standalone, $2,550 with certification bundle), a biennial Master Thermographer® membership and directory listing program ($700 initial / $500 renewal), and a Course Materials Licensing and Reseller program priced at $2,000–$7,500 per license plus per-student fees. Delivery occurs through open enrollment at the West Windsor, NJ Conference Center at Mercer, on-site training at client facilities, a 24/7 distance learning platform, and licensed partner locations in Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Canada, and the broader United States.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Fluke Corporation: Electrical test and measurement instrument manufacturer (including thermal imaging products) that offers training and certification for thermography users. Broad industrial test equipment portfolio with thermography as one of many categories, leveraging strong electrical contractor distribution.
• Teledyne FLIR: World's largest thermal imaging camera manufacturer (now part of Teledyne) that operates its own ITC training center. Broader portfolio across defense, industrial, and consumer thermal imaging, but directly competes in thermography training, often leveraging camera purchase bundling as a distribution advantage.
• Testo: Major thermal imaging equipment manufacturer with training offerings, primarily serving European markets. Comparable in combining thermal imaging hardware with thermography training programs, though geographically focused on EMEA and positioned as a hardware-anchored training provider.

Direct peers

• ITC (Infrared Training Center): Direct competitor offering thermography training and certification at Levels I-III. Operates in the same NDT/inspection training space with similar ASNT-aligned curricula, making it the closest head-to-head peer for Infraspection in course offerings, certification structure, and target audience of practicing thermographers.
• The Snell Group: Infrared thermography inspection, training, and consulting firm offering Level I-III certification as well as inspection services. Highly comparable to Infraspection in combining training with adjacent consulting and inspection services for thermographers across electrical, mechanical, and building applications.

Emerging players

• Mobius Institute: Condition monitoring and reliability training provider specializing in vibration analysis and related certifications. Overlaps in industrial inspection training market and adjacent predictive maintenance education space, serving similar reliability and maintenance engineer segments.

Others

• IRISS: Manufacturer of infrared inspection windows for electrical equipment, enabling safer thermographic inspections of energized components. Adjacent enabling technology provider that supports the broader thermography ecosystem but does not directly compete in training or certification services.
