Is it for me?
This course is for you as an engineer, technician, or operator who requires knowledge of CP techniques, through to more in-depth technical detail, plus an understanding of likely problem areas and an appreciation of cathodic protection methodology.

What will I learn?
This course will teach you the basics of corrosion, terminology, electrode potential, reference cells polarisation diagrams, and electrolytes (soil/water composition). It will also cover methods of controlling corrosion, principles of coating of buried and immersed structures, sacrificial anode systems, and impressed current systems. This course also covers typical designs of CP system, CP materials, potential measurements, and monitoring and maintenance.
What will I leave with?
This course will provide you with a good understanding of the basics of cathodic protection, including designs, monitoring and maintenance.
