COATING INSPECTOR PROGRAM (CIP) The NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP) has set a single, global standard for inspections in the protective coatings industry since 1983 and is the world’s most recognized and specified coating inspector certification program. Carrying the momentum of over 20,000 certified inspectors representing 119 countries, CIP continues to initiate today’s coatings professionals into the world of corrosion control by protective coatings, inspection of those coatings, and coatings project awareness, resulting in billions of dollars saved by reducing costly mistakes.

CIP Certification Once individuals successfully complete the corresponding course and exam, or pass the Peer Review, they are eligible for the related certifications, listed below. Each certification level allows them to perform different tasks in the field.

NACE Coating Inspector Level 1—Certified With this level of certification, a person is qualified to undertake basic coating inspection of structural steel using nondestructive techniques and instrumentation under the supervision of a NACE Certified Coating Inspector-Level 3.

The person certified at this level has basic knowledge of coating materials and techniques for surface preparation and application on steel substrates.

NACE Coating Inspector Level 2—Certified With this level of certification, a person is qualified to perform advanced coating inspections using both nondestructive and destructive techniques and instrumentation. The person certified at this level has sufficient knowledge of specialized coating materials and techniques for the surface preparation and application used on a wide variety of substrates. He/she also has ample knowledge in advanced report writing, condition surveys, failure analysis, and refurbishment.

NACE Certified Coating Inspector—Level 3 With this level of certification, a person has demonstrated experience in practical environments to a panel of peers when faced with coatings related scenarios. This individual possesses the knowledge and can perform the tasks of individuals certified at Levels 1 and 2. Furthermore, this certification qualifies a person to supervise individuals who are NACE Coating Inspector Level 1-Certified and NACE Coating Inspector Level 2-Certified.

G E N E R A L C O AT I N G S Of the technologies used to control corrosion, protective coatings is one of the most significant. They are used to provide protection for most materials and surface types in most environments. Approximately 90% of all expenditures associated with corrosion control are related to protective coatings. A properly selected and applied coating system can increase the usable lifetime of a material while reducing replacement and maintenance costs.

NACE International provides the means of technical proficiency for the coatings industry through training courses specifically developed for coatings and linings application. Courses are tailored for individuals of all levels of experience—from the beginner to those looking to expand their roles into management or achieve NACE certification. The NACE PCS Training Program is one of the specialized training programs geared towards individuals with various levels of coating experience, from applicators and contractors to engineers and project owners. The courses can be taken in succession; however individuals with more experience can choose which course(s) would benefit them most in their career.

Pipeline Industry Programs As our pipeline infrastructure continues to age, it demands constant monitoring and maintenance. Add to that the changing regulatory requirements, it is now more important than ever that operators are aware of how corrosion and other defects can impact the integrity of the pipeline to ensure safe operation without failures that may jeopardize public safety, result in product loss, or cause property and environmental damage.

Significant cost savings can be realized by implementing available corrosion prevention and mitigation technologies as a component of an existing integrity management plan. Launching in the Summer of 2012, the Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management Program (PCIM) will join the training and certification programs in Cathodic Protection and Internal Corrosion that NACE offers the pipeline industry.

In addition to the existing PCIM Management course, the program will introduce three new courses: Pipeline Corrosion Assessment Field Techniques (PCAFT), Direct Assessment, and In-Line Inspection. These courses may be taken as stand-alone training for continued professional development or as part of the path toward the Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management certification.

The PCIM program offers two certification tracks. The PCIM Technician certification focuses on remediation technology and field techniques for carrying out integrity assessments. The PCIM Technologist certification will focus on the implementation and management of an integrity program for a pipeline system.

Students will earn a certificate of completion upon successful achievement of the online quiz given at the end of each module.

Visit www.nace.org/wateronline for more information and to register for this course.

Who Should Attend Anyone who needs the ability to recognize and understand corrosion in the water and wastewater industry including directors, managers operators, engineers, supervisors of utilities, water and sewer systems and public works divisions as well as city managers, mayors and councilmen.

Prerequisites No prior training or experience is required.

Fees $75 per module 20 PDHs upon completion of all eleven modules. www.nace.org/education

NACE In-House Training & Certification

Why send your employees to another city for training when NACE can send the training to you!

The NACE In-House Course Training Program offers you the opportunity to have your employees trained and NACE certified at your own facility while saving money on travel expenses. In-House Courses also give you flexibility to choose the training that best fits the needs of your company with convenient scheduling options.

Benefits of an In-House Course: • No Travel Costs—The average cost, including travel, food and housing, to send an employee to another city for training is over $1400 and that doesn’t include the actual cost of the training.

With NACE In-House courses, we will send the instructor and course materials to you.

• Reduced Course Prices—In-House courses fees are reduced from the list price of a standard public course. Also, the more students you have the less expensive it is per student.

• Choose your own date and location—Schedule a course when it is most convenient for your company. Courses can be scheduled with a minimum of 30 days notice and can be held at your facility.

To learn more about the In-House training requirements or to schedule a course at your facility contact:
