Important
Attendees of this course are assumed to have completed C1: Fundamentals of Protective Coatings for Industrial Structures or an equivalent body of knowledge. C2 is not an introductory course and does not review the material contained in C1. Download a self-assessment checklist to determine your grasp of these fundamental topics. If you do not have a working knowledge of most of these topics, you should consider taking C-1 prior to C-2. This information is to serve as a self-assessment to evaluate your preparedness for taking C-2 and the PCS exam.
C-2 fulfills part of your training requirement for SSPC Protective Coatings Specialist (PCS) certification and prepares you for the challenging Protective Coatings Specialist Exam. All PCS candidates that do not have 15 years of experience must take and pass the C-2 before sitting for the PCS Exam. There is no approved alternative training accepted. |
