Spotlight on Global Pro – Indonesia
As our official Training Partner in Indonesia, Global Pro brings the full suite of Corrodere courses, workshops, and assessments to the Indonesian market – making internationally recognised corrosion control education more accessible to professionals across the region.
Through Corrodere’s flexible online learning platform, professionals are able to study at a time that suits them, without the need to travel overseas. By introducing and promoting these programmes locally, Global Pro ensures Indonesian candidates have a trusted, in-country point of contact to access globally recognised certification.
Based in Batam Island, Indonesia, Global Pro is a leading provider of technical training and consultancy services, specialising in electrical, instrumentation and telecommunication disciplines, alongside protective coatings and corrosion control training and inspection. For more than a decade, the company has grown alongside the rapidly expanding industrial landscape of Batam, supporting both individual professionals and corporate clients across the Oil & Gas, marine and shipbuilding, and infrastructure sectors.
“Batam has developed into a major industrial hub,” explains Nofrizal. “We have been serving the Indonesian market for more than 10 years, growing together with the industries here.”
Operating in an archipelago presents unique environmental pressures. Indonesia’s high humidity and salt-laden marine atmosphere create relentless conditions for industrial assets, accelerating corrosion and increasing maintenance demands.
“Being an archipelago, the high humidity and high-salinity marine environment are constant battles,” Nofrizal says. “Many industries are also struggling with maintaining aging infrastructure under these harsh tropical conditions.”
This is particularly critical in offshore energy and shipbuilding sectors that are central to Batam’s economy. In these environments, corrosion control is not simply about asset longevity; it is about safety, operational reliability, and financial risk mitigation.
While Indonesia benefits from a highly experienced and capable workforce, Nofrizal highlights a common gap between hands-on field experience and a deeper understanding of international standards and modern coating science.
“There is a lot of practical experience in the field,” he explains, “but often there is a gap in understanding the latest international standards and the science behind modern coating systems.”
Through its partnership with Corrodere, Global Pro actively promotes internationally recognised corrosion training within Indonesia, connecting professionals with flexible online programmes that fit around work and operational demands. By serving as the regional representative and first point of contact, Global Pro simplifies the process of enrolment and ensures candidates feel supported from initial enquiry through to certification.
“Professional training bridges the gap between manual labour and technical expertise,” Nofrizal says. “It makes our local workforce more competitive globally and ensures assets are protected more efficiently.”
The results speak for themselves. “Students often tell us that our training gives them the confidence to take on more responsibility,” Nofrizal shares. “And the international certifications they gain are game-changers for their careers.”
Becoming an approved in-country training partner was a deliberate strategic decision. Rather than requiring Indonesian professionals to look overseas for accredited corrosion training, Global Pro has made it easier to access world-class education from within Indonesia.
“We wanted to make world-class education accessible locally,” Nofrizal explains. “By removing barriers to access, we help the Indonesian industry grow faster and more sustainably.”
Looking ahead, Nofrizal sees the industry evolving rapidly. Environmental considerations are accelerating the shift towards greener coating technologies, while inspection practices are becoming increasingly digitalised. At the same time, tightening safety regulations are raising the bar for professional competence and certification.
“The demand for certified professionals will only increase,” he says. “The industry is changing fast.”
His advice to professionals is clear: “Never stop being curious. Getting certified isn’t just about the certificate – it’s about staying relevant in a global market.”
As Indonesia continues to expand its offshore energy, shipbuilding, and infrastructure capabilities, Global Pro’s role as Corrodere’s Training Partner ensures that local professionals have straightforward access to internationally recognised corrosion education – strengthening both careers and critical industrial assets for the future.
