Institute of Corrosion 'Fundamentals of Corrosion' Course

The Professional Development Committee (PDC) has been working towards a new grade of professional membership that would be attractive to newly certificated paint and cathodic protection inspectors and other technically skilled personnel. The concept is that the new qualification will support younger professional corrosion engineers and enable them to join the Institute whilst enabling them to gain a Professional Qualification "TechICorr".

As part of the revised career structure, and in conjunction with three commercial course providers, ICorr has developed a two-day basic practical training syllabus covering the basic aspects of corrosion technology, which it is appropriate that all practising corrosion engineers are familiar. The course is self-contained and prepares candidates for a short (1-hour) compulsory examination, which is taken in tandem with the training activities.

Candidates wishing to apply for the course should contact ICorr Headquarters at Corrosion House, 4 Vimy Court, Leighton Buzzard, Beds. LU7 1FG
