    Forefront Innovation Series is a 35-45 minute web series in which speakers are encouraged to present on topics that are new and innovative in various industries. Once a topic and speaker are selected, we advertise on our social media channels and email blasts to gain registrants. 

    We are in search of real-world speakers on corrosion and technical topics! Have an idea for a topic, but don't want to be a speaker? That's ok too! We are looking for topics AND speakers.

    Email me today! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Maybe  not me , but I would like someone in one of these committees to explain how do we move forward with the C6 certification. I have a lot of personnel who will be doing the brush and roll, coupled with the power tool requirements that are part of the job we have accepted. These tasks are invoking a certification, but the training for this certification is back logged and you cannot get a class. What is it that i would need to do in the meantime while waiting for the formal training?

    Terrance,

    You raise an interesting situation where the marketing staff have generated a demand for the certification and provided very few resources to meet the demand they generated. A search for C6 certification holders found one in the State of Texas and none in California. For everyone interested, there is a C6 course in Australia in December. IUPAT members (painter's union) will certainly be affected, yet I've heard nothing about the course availability from local apprenticeship training programs. What is the status of union training in each of the States?

    Terrance,

    After giving the issue more consideration, I believe you should be able to use AMPP's assistance to locate an instructor to provide in-house C6 training and certification. I know the IUPAT District Council in Los Angeles provides frequent C3, C5, and CAS training and certification with an AMPP instructor. The instructor travels to locations across the country on demand.
