ETGB Corner – Chair’s Opening Remarks
I’m pleased to share an update on our ongoing work to strengthen and expand ICorr training portfolio. High quality, industry relevant training remains central to our mission, and the ETGB continues to focus on developing programmes that support both the profession and the wider civic community.
This month, we are delighted to introduce two courses. The first is Corrosion Mechanisms in Stainless Steel, a joint, focused and technically rich programme designed to deepen understanding of stainless steel behaviour across a range of industrial environments. The second is the newly reviewed Corrosion at Home and Its Prevention course, scheduled for rollout in Q3 of 2026. This updated version reinforces our commitment to making corrosion awareness accessible to the wider public, helping individuals make informed decisions and enhance safety in everyday settings.
We are also keen to broaden participation in course development. There is a valuable opportunity for experienced corrosion professionals to share their knowledge and help shape future training modules. Equally, we encourage young engineers, scientists, and those pursuing chartership or continuing professional development (CPD) to engage with these programmes as a way of strengthening their technical foundation and advancing their careers.
As always, the ETGB remains committed to delivering training that reflects the highest standards of professionalism, relevance, and technical excellence. We look forward to continued collaboration across the community as we build the next generation of corrosion-related learning.
For anyone interested in developing a corrosion-related course or registering for upcoming training, please contact Dr Tony Rizk at ETGBChair@icorr.org
