NDT Work Log replaces the time consuming process of writing down all of your work experience hours into a paper logbook with an easy to use mobile phone app. Almost everyone always has their phone on or around them, so for those pursuing a career in non-destructive testing, why carry around a booklet with hand-written work experience hours when you can store it all in your phone instead? NDT Work Log solves that. The NDT Work Log app is a utility application that makes keeping up with your NDT work experience hours as convenient as ever. With a few taps, you can make a work log entry in seconds for 11 different NDT methods. Make that entry as thorough as you like with options to include pictures, work order numbers, part numbers, and any extra notes for reference. The app then adds up all of your total hours in each method and then compares it to the NDT requirements for certification. It lists the hours required, the hours that you have completed, and how many hours remain as you enter job entries and work hours into the log. This information can be shared through email to supervisors, employers, or the technician with options to create reports in Excel Spreadsheet, PDF, and Text File formats that can be downloaded and stored for records. Features: Easy and intuitive interface Choose from 11 NDT methods Make entries as thorough as you like Automatically adds total hours to show your progress Create reports in PDF, .txt, and Excel formats that can be sent through email *****IMPORTANT INFORMATION***** YOUR NDT WORK LOG EXPERIENCE IS STORED ON YOUR APP NOT ON YOUR PHONE.
