Feedback from the oil and gas pipeline industry highlights a significant need for inspectors with in-depth knowledge and understanding of high integrity pipeline coating systems.
Primarily focusing on current pipeline coatings used for onshore and offshore upstream oil and gas pipelines, this Level 2 course aims to bridge the gap between conventional painting inspection and that required for the high integrity pipeline coating systems in common use today.
Candidates will learn about the optimum quality control measures for the complete pipeline coating application process, which plays a critical role in ensuring the requisite long performance of the applied coating, as well as the key differences in functional integrity between pipeline coatings and conventional painting systems.
This Level 2 course assumes all candidates hold ICorr Painting or Protective Coating Inspector approval (any level) and therefore have some knowledge of inspection philosophy.
Suitable for coating inspectors working within the industry who are looking to gain more specialist knowledge of high integrity pipeline coating systems. This course is also applicable to clients, coating engineers within pipeline installation contractors and pipeline coaters.
Candidates will be required to revise their ICorr Protective Coating Inspector information common to both conventional coating and pipeline coating and especially surface preparation and inspection techniques.
This revision must be completed by undertaking a series of pre-learning modules on our online training platform before the start of the course via pre-learning modules.

Candidates are required to:
1. Have a knowledge of inspection philosophy, surface preparation, anti-corrosion coatings and how to use common inspection instruments.
2. Hold an ICorr Protective Coatings Inspector Level 2 (or equivalent) certificate and ideally hold a minimum of 12 months’ coatings related experience.
3. Submit their CV to ensure they have the required pre-requisite qualifications and experience.
4. Seek advice if hold less than 12 months’ coatings experience as they may still undertake the course and become certified once relevant experience has been obtained.
Note: This course can be taken for knowledge only without an examination.
The course is accredited by the Institute of Corrosion (ICorr). On successful completion of the course and relevant coatings related experience, candidates will become a certified Level 2 Pipeline Coating Inspector.
The certificate is valid for 5 years and can be renewed online prior to expiry.
