15 GENERAL COATINGS Of the technologies used to control corrosion, protective coatings is one of the most significant. They are used to provide protection for most materials and surface types in most environments. Approximately 90% of all expenditures associated with corrosion control are related to protective coatings. A properly selected and applied coating system can increase the usable lifetime of a material while reducing replacement and maintenance costs. NACE International provides the means of technical proficiency for the coatings industry through training courses specifically developed for coatings and linings application. Courses are tailored for individuals of all levels of experience from the beginner to those looking to expand their roles into management or achieve NACE certification. The NACE PCS Training Program is one of the specialized training programs geared towards individuals with various levels of coating experience, from applicators and contractors to engineers and project owners. The courses can be taken in succession; however individuals with more experience can choose which course(s) would benefit them most in their career. 13

20 Cathodic Protection Training and Certification The NACE Cathodic Protection Training and Certification Program (CP) is a comprehensive program for professionals in any industry including pipelines and bridges, tanks and well casings, the maritime and offshore industries, coated steel and concrete, and water and wastewater systems. The program is designed to give students a path for continued career-long professional development. The program is comprised of 7 courses that are designed to train a wide range of students depending on the individual s experience level. Each CP course is an independent component of the program and has a different skill and education level for entry, taking into account the student s work experience and math/ science background. The program includes four certification courses and moves from entry level (CP 1) to the most knowledgeable and experienced specialist level (CP 4). Once students successfully complete the corresponding exam they are eligible to apply for the related certification. The CP program also offers specialized courses in CP Interference and Coatings in Conjunction with Cathodic Protection, both of which are essential factors for the successful application and execution of cathodic protection. The CP 2 course is also offered as a specialty course specific to the maritime industry. Whether you want to improve your career path through CP certification or enhance your skills and knowledge related to on-the-job performance through CP training, NACE CP courses ensure the in-depth understanding of cathodic protection that is critical to extending the operating life and integrity of your assets. 18
