Testimonials
The MFE 40-hour class is the most in-depth, detailed, and substantive class offered that is specific to tanks, but also is informative to general applications of MFL. The method is taught, and strengths and limitations are well detailed and trained to understand how to professionally perform the inspection and give the customer the best output of the method.”
