Infraspection Institute
The Organization That Pioneered Infrared Thermography Training — And Where Our Lead Thermographer Teaches
The Gold Standard in Thermography Certification Since 1980
Infraspection Institute literally pioneered the infrared thermography training industry. Founded in 1980, Infraspection has trained and certified over 10,000 thermographers worldwide across more than four decades of operation. Their certification programs are recognized globally and aligned with ASNT SNT-TC-1A standards — the same framework used across non-destructive testing disciplines.
Infraspection offers Level I, Level II, and Level III certification courses covering infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, standards compliance, image analysis, and report generation. Their training isn't theoretical — it's built on decades of real-world inspection experience across electrical systems, mechanical equipment, building envelopes, and roofing applications.
When a thermographer carries Infraspection certification, it means they've been trained by the organization that wrote the standards the rest of the industry follows.
Rodney Scott: Not Just Certified — An Infraspection Instructor
This is what separates Invizions from the competition.
Rodney Scott, the founder and lead thermographer at Invizions, doesn't just hold Infraspection Institute certification — he teaches for them. As a certified Infraspection Institute instructor, Rod is one of a select group of professionals trusted to train the next generation of infrared thermographers.
This means when Invizions performs a thermographic inspection at your facility, the person behind the camera isn't just someone who passed a certification exam. He's someone the certifying organization trusts to teach others how to do it. That's a level of expertise and authority that most thermography companies simply cannot offer.
Rod's qualifications include:
- Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer
- Infraspection Institute Instructor
- Level I Certified Infrared Thermographer training course instructor
- Over 20 years of field experience in commercial and industrial thermography
- Expertise spanning electrical systems, mechanical equipment, roofing, and building diagnostics
What Infraspection Certification Means for Your Inspection
When you hire an Infraspection-certified thermographer, you can expect:
- Formal training in infrared theory, heat transfer, and thermodynamics — not just camera operation
- Understanding of emissivity, reflectance, and environmental factors that affect measurement accuracy
- Competence in image analysis and interpretation, distinguishing real anomalies from artifacts
- Knowledge of applicable standards including NFPA 70B, ASTM C1153 (roof moisture), and NETA MTS
- Professional reporting that documents findings with the detail and rigor that auditors, insurers, and facility managers require
- Ethical standards defined by Infraspection's code of professional conduct
This is why insurance companies specifically request inspections by certified thermographers. Certification isn't a formality — it's a quality guarantee.
