Cathodic Protection (CP) is a fundamental technique used to control the corrosion of metal surfaces by making them the cathode of an electrochemical cell. This ICorr Level 1 course in Northampton provides the essential entry-level certification for those working on buried pipelines, storage tanks, and reinforced concrete structures. The program is aligned with BS EN ISO 15257 standards, ensuring that the qualification is recognized globally.
Over several days, students will learn the physics of electrical current flow in soils and electrolytes, the function of galvanic anodes versus impressed current systems, and the proper use of multimeters and reference electrodes. The course is heavily weighted toward practical skills, with delegates spending significant time conducting field measurements at the Northampton training grounds. Understanding how to interpret "pipe-to-soil" potentials and identify "stray currents" is vital for ensuring the integrity of national infrastructure.
The week concludes with a rigorous theoretical and practical examination. Success in this course allows individuals to progress to higher levels of CP certification and is often a mandatory requirement for working on major utility contracts in the UK. This event is a critical investment for companies looking to upskill their workforce and ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
