COURSE OVERVIEW

"A course certificate that proves real industry competence."

Book on this Corrosion Engineering & Corrosion Prevention course if you want practical, engineering‑grade corrosion knowledge that improves reliability, reduces failures and strengthens your technical credibility.

It is the only practical, engineering‑grade corrosion‑engineering qualification designed for working professionals — covering mechanisms, materials, coatings, cathodic protection, failure analysis and prevention, written by a Chartered Engineer with real industrial experience and accessible without needing a degree or inspection ticket.

The course has been developed by academic & industry experts which ensures that the content is both academically rigorous and practically relevant. 

Candidates also receive a comprehensive, full-colour Training Handbook that serves as both a course guide and a valuable reference tool after completion of the course.

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

The course is suitable for candidates at all levels, including those new to corrosion & corrosion engineering, as no specific qualification entry requirements are needed. The course material is clear & easy to follow with reference to helpful U-Tube videos.
