Current and previously certified personnel are considered to have met the M&P prerequisites.

Basic mathematical knowledge including how to use a scientific calculator, algebra, logarithms and trigonometry is required for all courses. For all methods courses, students are required to pass the BCIT NDT Math Skills exam. Students with previous post-secondary math training may apply for exemption.
