Specialization, improve myself

[crankPT]

Hello people,

I am currently a quality control engineer in shipbuilding industrie, my job is to inspect piping and machinery systems and NDT tests. I'm licensed in mechanical engineering, and magnetic testing certified. I like the piping and machinery systems, because i have contact with i like most, mechanic, fluid, thermodynamics, but i want to focus in this specific part of inspection of piping/machinery part. Do you guys know any specialization, course, certification or other that i can add to my mechanical eng. background? I live in Europe, Portugal, i'm looking something that i can add, is not needed to be linked to shipbuilding industrie.

Thank you very much

Some of the NDT equipment suppliers have very good courses on their equipment and NDT in general.
