As the global authority in materials protection and performance, The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) has announced the launch of its newest educational program, Cathodic Protection (CP) Field Techniques.
This two-day, immersive course introduces personnel to essential corrosion testing methods and real-world field techniques. Whether new to the corrosion industry orlooking to enhance practical skills, this course offers a comprehensive foundation to begin or advance a career in CP.
In the course, participants engage in classroom instruction and hands-on training in a controlled field setting. Topics covered include half-cell calibration checks, structure-to-electrolyte measurements, rectifier measurements, electrical isolation testing, and more.
Students will gain confidence in corrosion data collection and testing techniques through a balanced mix of theory and practice.
The course is tailored for a range of professionals, including:
“At AMPP, webelieve that hands-on experience and real-world scenarios are crucial forbuilding confidence and competency,” says Jennifer Rogers, senior director ofeducation.
“Our new CP Field Techniques course gives students the practical skills to apply their knowledge to protect and preserve critical infrastructure in the field,” Rogers adds. “It’s an accessible and affordable way for professionals to gain the essential tools to succeed in corrosion protection, regardless of their current role or educational background.”
Features of the course include:
This course is available to schedule now. Rain or shine, participants will engage in dynamic field exercises designed to prepare them for real-world corrosion challenges.
