Detailed information about this program

The Cathodic Protection (CP) Field Techniques is a two-day course designed as an introduction to corrosion testing and data collection. Personnel new to the corrosion industry are encouraged to attend this highly engaging course to gain foundational knowledge and begin a CP career. Personnel within the corrosion industry who don't have opportunities to perform corrosion work are also encouraged to join, to experience real-world testing techniques. The two days include training in both the classroom and in a controlled field setting for the practical application of testing techniques. Field techniques covered include half-cell calibration check, structure-to-electrolyte measurements, rectifier measurements, structure-to-electrolyte measurements: ICCP, electrical isolation testing, soil resistivity, and locating.

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Course)

  • Scale drawings and basic layouts — produce using computer-aided design software under direct supervision in a structured training environment.
  • Architectural design templates and standard symbols — apply following established protocols to prepare entry-level construction documents.
  • Client functional requirements — record and organize during supervised consultations in a small-scale project office setting.
  • Construction plan components — identify and label with attention to detail while reviewing annotated examples provided by senior technologists.
  • Materials lists and basic cost data — compile from supplier catalogs under guidance to support preliminary project documentation.
  • Technical specifications and design briefs — read and interpret with assistance to extract relevant structural or spatial information.
  • Document management software — navigate and use to store, retrieve, and version-control project files in a team-shared digital repository.
  • Mathematical calculations for basic measurements and unit conversions — perform using standard formulas to support drawing accuracy on assigned tasks.
  • Graphics and photo imaging software — operate at a foundational level to insert, resize, and format visual elements in design documents.
  • Verbal instructions and project notes — listen actively and summarize in writing to confirm understanding before beginning assigned drafting tasks.
