Pipeline Coating Inspector Level 2

Special note

Painting Inspectors should revise their ICorr Painting Inspector information, especially the surface preparation detail, if attending the 3 day course. It has been agreed by PDTC (ICorr) to add an experience assessment to all ICorr certifications for personnel engaged in painting and coating inspection. Full details of the changes are to be published in the ICorr REQ DOC

This course is designed to prepare individuals for the ICorr Pipeline Coating Inspector Level 2 examination. Inspection of coatings (over fifteen types) applied in both the factory and field are addressed. The 5 day course is suitable for all candidates. A 3 day version is available for ICorr Painting Inspectors who do not want to revisit the subject areas common to both Painting Inspection and Pipeline Coating Inspection.
