Coating Inspector Program - Nuclear Specialty

Description

The Coating Inspector Program nuclear specialty is designed for those wanting more specialized training in nuclear coating inspection. This certification is an enhancement to your current CIP Level 1, CIP Level 2, or CIP Level 3 certification. The course is designed specifically to train coating inspectors to conduct inspections in nuclear power plants (NPPs) and is also used as a primer to familiarize non-CIP-certified personnel with NPP coating requirements. The training focuses on the unique challenges presented by a nuclear facility's restrictive and safety-critical environment, as well as the verbatim compliance compulsory in NPPs. The course also delves deeply into government, industry, and plant-specific regulations, technical specifications, and procedures through lectures, case studies, and discussions.
