SHM Academy

Hands-on SHM training from industry experts

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) uses permanently installed sensors to continuously collect real-time data on structural integrity. As structural maintenance increasingly relies on data-driven decision-making, SHM is becoming a fundamental technology for the future of asset management. Unlike traditional interval-based inspection, it provides continuous, ongoing insights into asset condition without requiring scheduled downtime.

Designed for the future of inspection

Step into the future of structural inspection with Testia’s two-day SHM Academy. Gain the practical skills needed for modern asset management and start your qualification journey alongside leading industry experts.

Testimonials from alumni of the SHM Academy

Veera Ajeshwar Vinnakota-picture

“Recently I have attended a short training and Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Organized by Testia Gmbh and it was very well structured and delivered by the instructors (Mr. Aswin & Mr. Dennis Roach, Ph.D) having good command and Knowledge on the Technology. The Course outlined the various technologies used for monitoring the Structural Health and standards that are governing the existing technology along with the developments done over the past years. Hand-Ons Practice for CVM & PZT Technologies makes understanding on theory very clear. I had a good start for my journey towards gaining knowledge regarding SHM Technology applications on in-service Aircrafts by attending this Short Course on SHM.”

“SHM Academy was one of the most engaging trainings I’ve attended. The fast-paced sessions were great for getting to grips with the latest developments in structural health monitoring. Thanks to accomplished hosts, the gathering was thought-provoking and packed with industry insights. All of it was topped off with hands-on sensor installation, enabling us to turn theory into practice. I stayed fully engaged from start to finish.”
