Course Introduction

Corrosion is a major threat to the longevity and safety of metallic structures such as pipelines, storage tanks, and offshore installations. Left unchecked, corrosion can lead to costly repairs, operational downtime, and even catastrophic failures. The Cathodic Protection Technician training course focuses on preventing corrosion through reliable cathodic protection methods, ensuring assets remain functional and safe for longer periods.

This course offers a complete learning path covering the fundamentals of corrosion and cathodic protection, as well as practical skills in design, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Through real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will gain the confidence to evaluate and manage cathodic protection systems effectively, improving asset integrity and reducing maintenance costs.

Key learning outcomes include:

Understanding corrosion mechanisms and the role of cathodic protection
Learning how sacrificial anode and impressed current systems work
Developing skills to design and install CP systems for pipelines, tanks, and offshore structures
Conducting routine inspections and monitoring to ensure system performance
Applying troubleshooting techniques to resolve CP failures
Adhering to international standards such as NACE and ISO 15589

Objectives

At the end of this Cathodic Protection Technician training course, participants will have the knowledge and practical skills to manage cathodic protection systems effectively. The course is designed to build competence in both theoretical concepts and real-world application, enabling participants to improve asset reliability and extend service life.

Participants will be able to design and install cathodic protection systems, carry out routine monitoring, and maintain system integrity through regular inspections. The course also emphasises troubleshooting techniques to identify and correct failures quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. By following industry standards, attendees will also gain the ability to maintain compliance with international corrosion prevention requirements.

Participants will be able to:

Explain the principles and applications of cathodic protection
Design efficient cathodic protection systems for various infrastructure
Perform installation and quality assurance activities
Conduct regular inspections, monitoring, and maintenance
Detect and resolve system faults and performance issues
Apply international standards for corrosion prevention and CP system compliance
