About the Cathodic Protection Program

Cathodic protection is a critical component of corrosion mitigation. Our Cathodic Protection Program is the only program of its kind and an industry-standard that provides students with the theoretical and practical fundamentals for testing, evaluating, and designing both galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are used across a wide array of industries and assets such as fixed offshore structures, oil and gas pipelines and storage tanks, ships, and more.

Who is the Cathodic Protection Program for?

As the most recognized and specified program in the world, our CP courses are geared towards providing the knowledge needed for certification including testing, evaluating, and designing of galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection systems. These skills lay the foundation for successful cathodic protection work in the field, which protects companies, public assets, and the environment.

This program is designed for:

Field Personnel
Engineers
Project Managers
Technical Sales Personnel

CP1 - Cathodic Protection Tester

The CP1 course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques for testing and evaluating data to determine the effectiveness of both galvanic and impressed current CP systems and to gather design data.

CP1 - Certification

A cathodic protection tester is responsible for observing, recording, or measuring the effectiveness of CP systems. The certification also addresses field personnel functions and is an entry into the cathodic protection profession.

CP4 - Cathodic Protection Specialist

The CP4 course focuses on the principles and procedures for CP design on a variety of structures for both galvanic and impressed current systems. The course discusses theoretical design concepts, considerations that influence the design (environment, structure type/materials of construction, coatings), design factors, and calculations (including attenuation).

CP4 - Certification

A cathodic protection specialist certification is the highest level of CP certification offered. It covers the theoretical concepts behind the design and considerations that influence the design and calculations (including attenuation) of a cathodic protection system. This certification is for those responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of cathodic protection systems.
