CIP Level 2 Course

Classroom instruction is comprised of lectures, discussions, group exercises, and hands-on labs. Students will also participate in case studies based on real-life situations that focus on problem solving and team dynamics related to the inspection process.

Learning objectives

• Explain advanced corrosion theory as it applies to the role of cathodic protection when used with coatings
• Identify types of environmental controls and inspection concerns associated with the use of digital electronic hygrometers, data loggers, and wind speed monitors
• Identify standards, methods of use, and inspection concerns for centrifugal blast cleaning and water-jetting equipment
• Recognize the importance of surface preparation, application, and inspection of liquid-applied and thick barrier linings
• Utilize destructive coating inspection equipment, such as adhesion and hardness testers, pH meters and ultrasonic thickness and eddy-current dry film thickness gauges
• Recognize the methods of use, standards, and inspection concerns for specialized application equipment including plural-component, electrostatic and centrifugal, and hot spray systems
• Recall concrete coating techniques, concerns and test instruments used for inspection
• Identify specialized coating techniques and application of non-liquid coatings including powdered coatings, spray metalizing, hot-dip galvanizing and automated coatings application
• Distinguish between different coating survey techniques, procedures, and common coating failure modes
• Describe maintenance coating operations, as well as health and safety concerns in relations to the inspector’s work conditions

Course completion

To receive a training Certificate of Completion and continuing education units (CEUs) students must attend the entire course and successfully pass each learning assessment, including the hands-on practical exam given on the last day of class.
