Assessment

As of July 2024, the American Institute of Nondestructive Testing (AINDT) promoted a '93% job placement rate' on its website and marketing materials. However, AINDT is a private career school licensed by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (MOHE) and is not accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized institutional accreditor. Public state licensing records confirm active licensure but do not publish audited graduate employment rates or third-party audit reports corroborating or refuting the exact 93% figure. Because the metric rests solely on internal institutional self-reporting and cannot be independently verified via public regulatory or audited filings, the claim cannot be settled with public information.

AINDT is licensed as a private career school by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education but lacks institutional accreditation requiring public audited placement disclosures.
The 93% placement figure is documented in AINDT's promotional materials and website (trainingndt.com).
Public MOHE regulatory records confirm licensure but do not publish independent, audited graduate job placement rates.
