Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Interpret advanced coating project specifications, technical data sheets, and inspection and test plans.
Evaluate environmental conditions including dew point, relative humidity, and surface temperature tolerances.
Inspect Surface Preparation cleanliness, anchor profile, and non-visible soluble chemical contamination.
Measure dry film thickness over ferrous and non-ferrous substrates using an eddy current DFT gauge.
Perform destructive coating evaluations using a PIG gauge and evaluate pull-off adhesion testing results.
Assess curing integrity through durometer hardness testing and conduct concrete coating inspection tasks.

Practical Exercises

Participants complete structured inspection exercises to reinforce theoretical concepts and measurement procedures.

Interpret complex coating specifications to identify mandatory inspection hold points and acceptance criteria.
Calculate psychrometric parameters and determine substrate suitability based on ambient field data.
Analyze destructive thickness readings obtained from a PIG gauge to evaluate individual layer depths.
Assess pull-off adhesion test specimens to distinguish cohesive, adhesive, and substrate failure modes.

FAQs

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

Participants should ideally hold an active Basic Coatings Inspector Level 1 credential and possess two years of verified coatings-related field experience prior to undertaking this preparation programme.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each daily session spans approximately four to five hours, including technical reviews and structured knowledge checks, totaling twenty to twenty-five instructional hours over five consecutive days.

Is AMPP CIP Level 2 only a theory exam?

No, the evaluation pathway consists of both a computer-based theoretical examination and a hands-on practical assessment covering specialized testing stations such as adhesion, hardness, and coating thickness evaluation.

Conclusion

Completing this preparation syllabus equips Coating Inspection personnel with rigorous technical competence across critical industrial testing standards. By mastering specialized destructive and non-destructive evaluation methods, participants return to their operational roles prepared to uphold project quality standards, ensure regulatory compliance, and safeguard valuable capital infrastructure against environmental degradation.
