“I recently took the level 2 PT course in Kova Engineering. Comparing this course with another NDT course I passed 3 years ago in another training center, I found the [instructor] to be very knowledgeable, helpful and professional and I enjoyed his teaching style and Kova training shop. I think it is a big benefit to have a great training provider in the Lower Mainland and I would encourage others to try them out for NDT training.”

Bryan Almendral

"Kova Engineering in Surrey B.C. is a great place to get help with your NDT training, I have done 2 courses the past few months at this company. Each time I attended, the instructor and staff were beyond accommodating and helpful.

I highly recommend [the instructor] and company."

"Kova Engineering Ltd. Institute provides a well constructed, all inclusive, and fun learning experience. Coming from a past career in healthcare and having little knowledge of the NDT field, [the instructor] is an incredible instructor who is very knowledgeable and ensured to take the time to explain all the information in a way I could understand and helped me on my way to a new career! I’m so glad I took the courses provided at Kova and will never forget my experience there."
