Fundamental of Inspection and Monitoring of Corrosion Control by Cathodic Protection training

This training is ideal for:
•    Corrosion technicians and inspectors
•    CP technicians and field engineers
•    Maintenance and integrity engineers
•    QA/QC personnel in oil & gas, marine, utility, and infrastructure sectors
•    Supervisors involved in pipeline or tank operations
•    Fresh graduates or junior engineers aiming for a career in corrosion and cathodic protection

Participants should ideally have:
•    A basic understanding of electrical systems and corrosion principles
•    Some field experience in pipeline or facility inspection (preferred but not mandatory)
•    Recommended: Completion of a basic corrosion or CP awareness course
