Qualified Coating Applicator (QCA) certification
Our Qualified Coating Applicator certification is approved by Lloyd’s Register, the most respected classification society worldwide.
QCA certification tests and validates Coating Applicators, Spray Painters and Abrasive Blast Cleaners’ practical skills and theoretical knowledge to the highest standards.
Lloyd’s Register Certified Operatives will be equipped to perform their daily duties to the highest level of safety, whilst protecting the environment, reducing waste, extending equipment life, and overall reducing the economic impact of corrosion.
Training vs Certification
We have a comprehensive training programme available through Train the painter, but those who are confident they have enough experience and capability to pass without training, they can fast track straight to the QCA theoretical exam and practical assessment.
