This course applies to anyone who has a USM Go+ and has never performed an ultrasonic inspection of metal parts or railroad tracks. This version of training material is for personnel wishing to learn how to use the USM Go+ and is designed for those who have busy schedules with limited daily spare time to apply to learning new methods for inspecting material quality. By utilizing shorter learning sessions several times a week, rather than multiple-hour sessions once or twice a week, knowledge absorption and retention are greatly improved. This course addresses this issue by breaking up the entire course into smaller units called "units." This method presents the course to learners in ready-made short sessions to apply to their learning process.

Learning Outcomes:
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- implement the basic principles of ultrasonic inspection
- adjust and operate the USM Go+ to perform an ultrasonic inspection of railroad rails or other parts
- perform this inspection in the main structural zones of rails or any structural geometries
- use three primary sound beam angles ( 0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 70 degrees) to perform a complete inspection over reference reflectors in rail or other geometrical structures in less than 5 minutes with 80% accuracy
