How to Become a Coating Inspector - CIP Level 1 and CIP Level 2

To become a coating inspector, complete the Coating Inspector Program (CIP) offered by NACE International. There are two levels of certification. The CIP level 1 certification is for inspectors who perform basic, non-destructive inspections. Obtain this certification by completing the required NACE exams. CIP level 2 certification requires two years of experience in the field, as well as completion of the NACE exams. 

CIP Level 1 covers the technical and practical fundamentals of coating inspection work. Students will be prepared to perform basic coating inspections using non-destructive techniques and instrumentation. Passcert provides students valid CIP Level 1 NACE-CIP1-001 dumps with knowledge and application of coating materials, along with techniques for surface preparation.

CIP Level 2 focuses on advanced inspection techniques and specialized application methods for both steel and non-steel substrates, including concrete using both nondestructive and destructive techniques. Surface preparation, coating types, inspection criteria, lab testing, and failure modes for various coatings, including specialized coatings and linings are also covered. You can get valid CIP Level 2 NACE-CIP2-001 dumps from Passcert to best prepare for your test and become a coating inspector.

NOTE: Passcert highly recommends that candidates complete the CIP Level 1 NACE-CIP1-001 exam before attempting the CIP Level 2 NACE-CIP2-001 certification. While some students choose to schedule and complete their CIP 1 and 2 exam learning to hold an active CIP Level 1 certification is a requirement towards achieving CIP Level 2 certification.
