About Corrodere

"Our mission is to produce and continually develop professional training courses in the use of protective coatings for corrosion control”

The Corrodere Academy is here to help you LEARN, DISCOVER and SUCCEED within the Protective Coatings and Corrosion Control industry.

Established in 2007, the number of accredited courses offered globally by the Corrodere Academy has increased 10-fold. We have developed a number of world-first training programmes and qualifications specifically for the Coatings Applicator, Coatings Inspector and Protective Coatings Specialist.

Flexible theoretical courses are delivered online, through distance learning or in the classroom. Where necessary, practical training is also available allowing students to demonstrate their competency and skills. All training courses lead to formal qualifications which are recognised throughout the coatings industry allowing students to progress within their chosen career.

Very pleased with the content of the course. The flexibility of studying allowed me to continue with my work commitments I have been in the protective coatings industry for 35 years and the content and detail within the course had me glued to the screen. Very informative. Wayne Waller - ICorr level 2 - March 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the help from the Corrodere team in accessing the training platform and booking the exam was amazing; it was greatly appreciated. Having previously attended and studied numerous courses relating to the corrosion protection of steel structures, I can definitely say I have gained transferable knowledge and skills I can now apply to all aspects of my duties in the field, not just when completing coating survey activities. I couldn't recommended this course more to any Inspector wanting to "level up"

Well recommended to anyone who wants to further their personal development in the (coatings) industry from their own home or workplace……It was so good I have booked another two courses

Lenny Harkins

Extremely well-presented set of courses, with a written exam upon completion. In today’s climate you get asked more and more for separate qualifications, these course’s meet and exceed the expectations of most experienced Coating Engineers, and company requirements.

I would particularly like to thank all involved in the delivery of the Corrodere Academy Coating Inspector Courses on behalf of the Institute of Corrosion. This last year has been the most successful so far

John Fletcher, Previous President at the Institute of Corrosion

I found the practical (workshop) before the assessment day to be very useful as it gave me the chance to ask questions and communicate with a vastly experienced trainer, rather than reading material over and over again.

Stuart Kowalik, Taziker Industrial

[The Coating Surveys course] is a very nice refresher on the difference between the ISO/ASTM and European standards for failure allowance. I see it playing a big role in warranties and guarantees which is something I just started developing for asset owners when we repair their ships.

Marcus Ashburner

The course provides an extremely thorough overview of this complex topic. If coating surveys form part of your day to day activities then I would strongly recommend that you find out more.
