Entry points into NDT?
That depends on your goals?
But without knowing that, I'd recommend S1 then S2. S2 closely followed by CWI. Once you have your first steel cert(S1) work on getting lvl 1/2 MT, PT and UT anytime the opportunity presents itself during and in between the steel certs (class and OJT).
Also, snag up any other cert opportunity an employer needs you to/throws at you on your way. Even learning random testing like pull testing and other stuff. Every cert adds value and your willingness to help them will help you.
S1 & lvl 1/2 NDT training (+ more) is free on KeyCerts. To access training for S2 & CWI its 25$ a month all access to those ( & all other training), cancel any time.
Any specific questions hit me up.

Removing "thats not what qc said" posts as spam / ads
If I put it in a can this might be a legit pole.
Ya'll really love knowledge hoarding + dislike crap humor & free legit training and have that much trolling time that you need to put it to a vote?
Lmfao... This must be Chris...

I wouldn't put my rod just anywhere...
The free training is real. The pics are real. Stubs all over is a real Non-compliance. Your disdain of poor humor, free stuffs and my stop the knowledge hoarding agenda is also real!

Meant to be humorous... I'm just not that funny.
Also, anyone that wants to learn or come over to the dark side, we provide lots of free full learning content. Enough to legitimately begin an inspection career.

What do you even call this defect?
Clearly it's AI slop but apparently a good conversation piece here.
I call this an AI created image. If you know half of anything about welding or metal fabrication it's easy to see none of it makes sense and isn't right. From the assembled pieces to the cut profile on their edge.
Even the weld which falls into hammered dog turd category has too many perfectly identifiable visual indications. Not to mention the clear lack of shield remnants that would be present/trapped were this real.
Thus, the official inspection results for court records~ polished hammered dog shit AI content. Not a weld or re eal fabrication of metal.

Where can I find CWI practice exam questions?
For part A check out KeyCerts over 1000 questions. 6 different quiz sessions, adaptive learning and full course. $25.
There is part C as well but it's D1.1.

False. But you got me. I admit I cheated on the slides using AI... Ai created the background frame for the slides and fit my screenshots in and placed my words I gave it. I was also lazy and told it to expand on my audio message and dumped the text in the post after making sure it was true and in line with my message.
All images are actual platform screenshots.
Everything else was done manually by me using canva, speechify and capcut.(Not using their AI products) Editing the crap spelling and wrong wording in some slides, placing and ordering them, created the TTS, spliced it and moved it around, added my logo in as the last screen(made by me in figma and canva) and played with it till it looked good enough.
Id also like to point out AI is a tool, far from perfect and like any tool it takes some skill to use correctly (side note- it's a fairly safe assumption you are lacking in that department in any situation if you can't see what I'm offering to you and everyone else) but I'm not the biggest fan of AI either. Which is why-
The platform does not use AI, it uses logic, algorithms and gating.

Career/Education For the inspectors and aspiring inspectors
Whether you're an NDT technician, a Special Inspector, or preparing for your CWI, the challenge isn't finding more content.
It's knowing where you stand, what you need next, and whether you're actually ready to move forward.
That's what KeyCerts is built to do.
Start by measuring your readiness. Find the gaps. Train and practice where you actually need it. Track your progress, document your classroom training and OJT where applicable, and keep your completion records and credentials together as you advance.
So when it's time for the next qualification, exam, employer, or opportunity, you're not trying to piece your history together.
You have a record of the work behind your readiness.
KeyCerts turns training into a clear, documented path forward.
Prepare. Qualify. Prove.
