COURSE OVERVIEW

With increased demand for qualified ICorr Coating Inspectors from the global coating inspection industry, the Corrodere Academy have developed an online transition programme.

This is an easy, flexible and affordable way to obtain an additional ICorr inspection certificate when you already hold a recognised Coating Inspection Certificate from an alternative provider.

Endorsed by ICorr and accredited by Lloyd’s Register and the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Coating surveys should be conducted by experienced personnel who can make sound judgment on the condition of an existing coating and develop information that can be used to make effective decisions on the management of the coatings. There are various types of coating surveys conducted throughout the industry ranging from the basic ‘walk-through’ visual inspection to the comprehensive coating survey necessary in the investigation of a coating failure.
