Your Global Hub for Corrosion Conferences

This course introduces the fundamentals of corrosion, its economic impact, and the primary forms affecting metals, plastics, and concrete. Participants learn to understand electrochemical mechanisms, predict and identify corrosion problems, and apply laboratory evaluation techniques to select appropriate mitigation strategies.

Brings together the Enterprise–University–Government community to share electrochemical science and technology via oral/poster sessions, short courses, workshops, networking and an exhibition. Many topics of interest to corrosion professionals.

The course covers advanced inspection techniques and specialized applications for both steel and non-steel substrates, including specific coatings and linings. Expected attendees include coating inspectors seeking certification and certified inspectors interested in learning how to perform and document destructive and non-destructive inspections under the supervision of a senior inspector.

The course provides a foundational start for coatings inspectors, combining classroom instruction with hands-on training. Participants master surface preparation and nondestructive testing on steel substrates, and the certification exam is included to validate expertise for project managers and applicators.

This certification provides intermediate-level expertise in corrosion theory, cathodic protection systems, and advanced monitoring techniques for asset protection. It is intended for technical professionals responsible for testing, troubleshooting, and managing the field performance of cathodic protection.
