This was my first online course and I would like to thank you for the great experience.The study materials were very helpful for me.
Please thank on my behalf everyone who was involved in the preparation of the course, You have all done an excellent job.
Nimesh Sudheer, Q C Inspector at SRS Engineering contracting LLC, October 2008
I enjoyed the challenge of the Diploma in Coatings for Corrosion Control course. Apart from Basic Corrosion and Paint Principles, it allows you to focus on a variety of specialist subjects that would help enhance your knowledge for that particular field.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone working in the coatings and corrosion industry and wanting to enhance their knowledge by an online distant learning method that is both time and cost efficient.
The Corrodere staff offers excellent student support and provides an extensive range of information online to help succeed in the course.

Subsea Systems, Trainthecoatingspecialist
I enjoyed all aspect of the course
D. Malone - Maclean & Speir, Coating Supervisor Course
It’s too easy to become sheltered with the “safe” North Sea coating paint spec so it was good to learn about FBE’s etc. The IMO section was good as it made you appreciate the necessity for good QA / QC if you are to get submerged tanks to last 15 years’
Magnus Williamson, ICorr L1
I would particularly like to thank all the people involved in the delivery of the Corrodere Coating Inspector Courses on behalf of the Institute of Corrosion. This last year has been the most successful so far.’
