Course Code
AMPP-003
(CIP) Coating Inspector Program - Level 1
- Classroom instruction is comprised of lectures, group exercises, case studies and hands-on practical labs. Students will also participate in real-life inspection projects that are designed to apply course concepts to the job site by focusing on inspection procedures and proper instrument use, situation problem solving, inaccurate specifications and strengthening the relationship between the inspector and other team members.
- CIP Level 1 focuses on advanced inspection techniques and specialized application methods for both steel and non-steel substrates, including concrete using both non-destructive and destructive techniques. Surface preparation, coating types, inspection criteria, lab testing, and failure modes for various coatings, including specialized coatings and linings are also covered.
- Completing the Coating Inspector Program (CIP) Level 1 Course is the first step to earning the Basic Coatings Inspector Certification. The CIP Level 1 Course provides entry-level knowledge of coating materials, techniques for surface preparation and application, and inspection testing and documentation.
- After successfully obtaining your Basic Coatings Inspector certification, you will be able to perform basic coating inspections on steel substrates using nondestructive testing and instrumentation.
