QATAR TECHNICAL PETROLEUM CENTER NACE: CP II-Cathodic Protection Technician
Description
The CP II-Cathodic Protection Technician Course is an intensive 6-day course that presents CP technology to prepare students for the NACE Cathodic Protection Technician Certification Examination. Course topics include intermediate-level discussions of corrosion theory and CP concepts, types of CP systems, AC and DC stray current interference, and advanced field measurement techniques. This course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques for testing and evaluating data to determine the effectiveness of both galvanic and impressed current CP systems and to gather design data. The course involves lectures and hands-on training with equipment and instruments used in CP testing. Hands-on training at outdoor facilities is alsoincluded, weather permitting.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for persons who have a working knowledge of CP, or who have extensive years of CP field experience with a technical background. Students must complete a preliminary application for certification at least 60 days in advance so that education and prerequisites can be verified. In-depth high school chemistry and mathematics courses including algebra, balancing equations, conversions of units, logarithms, and graphs; the NACE Basic Corrosion course, CP I - Cathodic Protection Tester or equivalent; and comprehensive knowledge of electrochemistry, electricity, electrical laws and series and parallel circuits, meter operation, and CP fundamentals are necessary for understanding the material in this course.
Prerequisites
For each path, all prerequisites must be met in order to apply for the CP II–Cathodic Protection Technician Course. Path I Path II Path III • 3 years CP work experience 1 year CP work experience • 2-year post high school training from an approved math or science technical/trade school including algebra and logarithm 5 training • High school diploma or GED including algebra and logarithms training • 4-year physical science or engineering degree 2 years CP work experience • CP Tester Certification or equivalent training • CP Tester Certification or equivalent training CP Tester Certification or equivalent training
Course Highlights (include but are not limited to) • Corrosion Theory • CP Fundamentals • Field Measurements and Instrumentation • DC Power Sources • Safety Specific to CP • CP Recordkeeping
Skill Assessment
Upon successful completion of the Cathodic Protection Technician Examination, a Certified NACE Cathodic Protection Technician will have passed both an open book, written exam and a closed book, practical (hands-on) exam with a grade of 70% or greater that includes various levels of assessment of the following skill and knowledge factors: • Perform advanced field tests (including current requirement test, shorted casing test, IR drop test, soil resistivity, and interference tests) and evaluate the results • Perform tests to verify the presence of stray current interference and recommend method(s) to mitigate the interference • Understand AC voltage and its mitigation • Maintenance of documentation and records, including data plotting and analysis • Conduct and understand the importance of periodic surveys, including IR- Free readings, polarization decay tests and current measurements • Test and troubleshoot rectifier component parts • Understand corrosion coupon test stations • Understand code requirements related to CP
Parallel Path to Certification for • Corrosion Technologist • Senior Corrosion Technologist
