Coating Inspector Program

Our flagship training program for 30+ years, the NACE coating inspection courses set the standard for inspections in the protective coatings industry. Companies worldwide recognize and specify the NACE Coating Inspector Program the most because its comprehensive curriculum produces knowledgeable inspectors who have learned a skillset for fieldwork and a solid coatings foundation that strengthens the industry overall.

Combining classroom study, discussion, and hands-on practice, the courses introduce specifiers, applicators, inspectors, blasters, manufacturers, owner’s representatives, and technical salesmen to the basics of corrosion control, paint application and inspection, and project management in a way that results in billions of dollars in cost savings.
