The lecture and multimedia-based eCourse features on-demand viewing and bookmarking capabilities that enable you to complete the course as your schedule allows. It also includes a downloadable course manual, audio narration with transcripts, interactive exercises, and knowledge checks throughout to test your comprehension of the material.

Through the Introduction to Coating Inspection eCourse, learn the fundamentals of coatings, as well as the purpose and role of a coating inspector on a coatings project. Complete all eight modules in sequential order, or select the modules that most interest and benefit you in your career.

Gain a general understanding of the financial, economic, and physical impacts of corrosion on the water and wastewater industry, as well as how corrosion control results in cost savings and lower health risks. The Corrosion in the Water and Wastewater Industry eCourse is geared towards individuals who need the ability to recognize and understand the effects of corrosion in the industry.

The NEW Virtual Training Simulator is an interactive way for you to practice your cathodic protection (CP) skills virtually! This 12 station virtual training program allows you to refresh your CP skills, keep up with current practical techniques and prepare for your CP classes and exams by working through step-by-step, real-life testing scenarios that you could encounter in a live CP environment.

Today, the coatings industry is a highly technical field that requires skilled personnel to perform quality surface preparation and protective coatings application. The Industrial Coating Application eCourse is a comprehensive training program based on the NACE No. 13/SSPC-ACS-1 standard that sets the criteria for a qualified workforce that can meet contractors` and facility owners` need for consistent, quality work completed accurately, safely, and at a reasonable cost. The eCourse benchmarks best practices in safety, process control, surface preparation, coatings application, and inspection. It’s a must-take, interactive course for coating applicators or anyone new to the coatings industry. The eCourse features engaging slides, short quizzes, and downloadable resources that can be used on the job.

The In-Line Inspection course will cover the benefits of utilizing In-Line Inspection, selection of technologies related to operational parameters, operational issues and evaluating data relevant to assessing fitness for service. The course will also cover the benefits and limitations of In-line Inspection, its relationship to an overall integrity assessment program and industry standards, regulations and best practices. Desired learning outcomes include:

The Advanced Internal Corrosion for Pipelines course focuses on the monitoring techniques and mitigation strategies required to assess internal corrosion and develop and manage internal corrosion control programs. Data interpretation, analysis and integration, as well as criteria for determining corrective action for high-level internal corrosion problems within a pipeline system, will be covered in detail. The course will be 5 days in length. Students successfully completing the course examination, and who meet the requirements, can apply for certification as a Senior Internal Corrosion Technologist.

This course was designed to provide students with the fundamentals of implementing, monitoring, and maintaining an internal corrosion control program as part of an overall Pipeline Integrity Management program. It is an introductory level course focusing on internal corrosion of liquid and natural gas pipelines used for transmissions, storage, and gathering systems. The course combines lecture, hands-on field testing and case studies. The course concludes with both a written and practical examination. The practical examination includes OQ Covered Task Assessments for the following tasks: (1) Insert and remove internal corrosion coupons, (2) Measurement of corroded area and pit depth measurement (with pit gauge), (3) Measure wall thickness using handheld ultrasonic meter.
