Level 3 Consultancy · EN 4179 · NAS 410
Your NDT program, built right. From the start.
Expert Level 3 consultancy for aerospace and MRO organizations that need to build, audit or maintain EN 4179-compliant NDT qualification programs — without hiring a full-time Level 3.
Section 4.3.3 of EN 4179 explicitly permits the use of an outside agency as Responsible Level 3. This means smaller aerospace and MRO organizations can have full EN 4179 compliance without a full-time Level 3 on their payroll. That is exactly what we provide.
What we do
Four services. One standard.
Written Practice Development
Your Written Practice is the cornerstone of EN 4179 compliance — it defines how your organization qualifies, certifies and recertifies NDT personnel. We draft or review your Written Practice to ensure it meets EN 4179:2026 and RO-NANDTB requirements, covers all your methods and techniques, and is audit-ready from day one.
EN 4179:2026 §4.1
Responsible Level 3 — External
EN 4179 requires every employer to designate a Responsible Level 3. For organizations that don't have one in-house, we act as your external Responsible Level 3 — approving qualifications, overseeing your certification program, designating examiners and instructors, and ensuring ongoing compliance. Available on a retainer or per-project basis.
EN 4179:2026 §4.3.2–4.3.3
Training Body Audit & Approval
Are you a training organization seeking approval under EN 4179 or RO-NANDTB? We audit your processes, documentation and facilities against the standard's requirements, identify gaps, and guide you through the approval process. We can also conduct periodic surveillance audits to maintain your approved status.
EN 4179:2026 Annex C
EN 4179 / NAS 410 Consultancy
Navigating EN 4179:2026 and its equivalent NAS 410 can be complex — especially when requirements intersect with your specific products, techniques and customer contracts. We provide expert interpretation, gap assessments against the new 2026 revision, transition planning from EN 4179:2021, and tailored guidance on certification levels, recertification (Annex A and D), and annual proficiency review programs.

Who this is for
You need this if any of these sound familiar.
Aerospace manufacturer
No Level 3 on staff — but EN 4179 compliance is mandatory
You have NDT personnel who need qualifying, but no in-house Level 3 to oversee the program. We act as your external Responsible Level 3 so you remain fully compliant without a full-time hire.
MRO organization
New to EN 4179 — need a Written Practice from scratch
You're entering the aerospace MRO market or expanding your NDT capabilities. We build your Written Practice and qualification program from the ground up, correctly and audit-ready.
Prime contractor / supplier
Customer audit coming up — need to close gaps fast
Your customer or NANDTB has scheduled an audit of your NDT qualification program. We identify and help close gaps before the audit, and support you through the process.
Any EN 4179 organization
Transitioning from EN 4179:2021 to EN 4179:2026
The 2026 revision introduced significant changes — updated education requirements, the new basic examination for Level 3, and Annex D. We assess what needs to change in your program and manage the transition.
International
Outside Europe — need EN 4179 expertise for a European customer
Your European aerospace customer requires EN 4179 compliance from their supply chain. We provide remote consultancy and documentation support regardless of your location.
How it works
Simple process. No surprises.
Initial consultation
We start with a free call to understand your organization, your NDT methods, your current program status and what you need. No forms, no sales pitch — just a direct technical conversation.
Proposal & scope
We send a clear, fixed-scope proposal. You know exactly what is included, what the deliverables are, and what it costs. No hourly billing surprises.
Delivery — remote, on-site or hybrid
We work in whichever format suits you. Most consultancy is delivered remotely. On-site visits for audits or complex implementations can be arranged anywhere in the world.
Delivery
We work the way you need us to.
Remote
Document review, Written Practice development, EN 4179 guidance and most consultancy work is delivered fully remotely — video calls, shared documents, async review.
On-site
Facility audits, hands-on practical examination oversight and implementation support are available on-site at your location — anywhere in the world.
Hybrid
The most common model — remote preparation and documentation, followed by one or more on-site visits for audit, practical oversight or training body approval.
