Perfectly presented course and an extremely knowledgeable trainer! Well spoken and any issues/questions were explained professionally. I would 100% recommend this company! Fantastic job guys, thanks again.

Allen – HC Technical Consulting and Contracting Services Ltd

This course focuses on practical work and is very useful in the field. It allowed me to increase my knowledge and capabilities, and is definitely worth recommending to others.

Sang-Hoon

I would just like to express my sincere thanks to you for all the help and direction provided to me on the ICorr Coatings Inspector Level 1 journey! I found the Training platform extremely informative and the Practical Workshop had a very strong impact in preparation for the final Exam. I look forward to continuing my association with the Corrodere Academy to achieve additional inspection certification.

Tony Hayes

The SSPC Insulation Inspector course is very informative and easy to learn. Assessment is course related. I would fully recommend to those who don’t have access to attend class in UK - Kok Oon Wong, November 2021

Kok Oon Wong

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"

Warren Wilson

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.

Rob Wilson

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.
