What is the NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP)?

Level 1: One-week training course on basics of coating inspection emphasizing hands-on training, instruments, responsibilities, basic equipment, and technologies with hands-on and written examinations

Level 2: Advanced one-week training course emphasizing specialty technologies—including marine—with written examinations

Level 3: Oral examination to test knowledge across many industries and technologies

Revisions requested to CIP during IMO scan (revisions completed)

“Recognition” is now “certification” at all levels

Marine specialty component of both Level 1 and Level 2 has been enhanced further
