If examination is required, candidates must hold a Painting Inspector certification (any level). No certification needed if course is used for information only. A 3 day course route to certification is available without holding a Painting Inspector approval – please enquire. Fireproofing is not covered in this course; see Fireproofing Inspector ICorr Level 2. It has been agreed by PDTC (ICorr) to add an experience assessment to all ICorr certifications for personnel engaged in painting and coating inspection. Full details of the changes are to be published in the ICorr REQ DOC.
Changing market dynamics and a number of PFP failures on major new construction
projects have led the Institute of Corrosion and PFPNet to collaborate and develop the first advanced training programme for Inspectors of Epoxy Intumescent Passive Fire Protection. This course has been written and produced by experts in the field who have extensive, practical ‘real world’ experience.
This is an advanced course for experienced Inspectors that will enable them to further improve their competency in this safety critical area of the market.
This course has a series of online pre-learning modules that must be completed prior to attending the course. You will have 4 weeks to complete the training once you have booked your space.

This is a Level III course aimed at specialist inspectors and technicians who are looking to demonstrate their own distinctive competence to properly understand and inspect PFP installations in new construction or retrofit situations. The inspection of existing PFP to test for worthiness is a separate and specialist activity not considered in this course.
Candidates should ideally have a PFP Level 2 qualification or a minimum of ICorr Painting Inspector or Coating Inspector Level 1 with a minimum of two years’ experience. Inspectors from other schemes can transition to ICorr Painting Inspector here. This requirement is to ensure that attendees have a fundamental understanding of corrosion and protective coatings.
This course is completed fully online, including remote examination.
