This course provides coating inspectors an understanding of the requirements, methods, and means to conduct inspections inside the various areas of nuclear power plants.
There are no prerequisites to attend the training course; however, NACE CIP Level 1 Certification is recommended. Those who successfully complete the course examination but do not qualify for certification receive a certificate of attendance and a grade letter.
To achieve certification, NACE CIP Level 1 Certification is required, along with documented work experience with coatings focused projects for a nuclear power plant.
Quote from experienced inspector: “Just because you have inspection skills and can pass background checks, doesn’t mean you can work in nuclear power plants.” This course will prepare you!
