About the Interim Status Certification Program
The "Interim Certification Program," SSPC Coating Application Specialist (CAS) allows those in the current workforce the opportunity to realistically achieve certification during the next several years. It focuses directly on the needs of the Application Specialist and provides criteria for the education, training, experience, knowledge, and motor skills required to prepare and apply protective coatings to steel and concrete surfaces of complex industrial and marine structures.
SSPC offers two tracks to achieve "interim" certification under the SSPC CAS Program.

About the Full Status Certification Program
Due to the make up of the current workforce and available training opportunities, SSPC strongly believes that owners should specify SSPC "Interim Status" painter certification during the next several years (in lieu of full status certification), while the industry gets up to speed with the new requirements.
SSPC will still offer "full status" certification to SSPC ACS-1/NACE 13 under the CAS program for those who request it and qualify. Click here for CAS Full Application Form.
