Dear
CIP Participant,
We look forward
to welcoming you to CIP Level 2. NACE CIP courses are intensive,
and cover many subjects. Some participants have requested that they
be given some notice of the subject areas, and some guidelines for
study prior to arrival. We recommend that you do some preparation
work before your course begins, and have the following suggestions
to make. Of course, some people have more time than others, so you
may not be able to work your way through this entire list. For that
reason, the recommendations are set out in order of priority. If
you can study only one subject, make it the first on the list; two
subjects, make them the first two on the list, and so on.
Preparation Recommendations
(1) Identify
the ethical stance of the CIP Program and the code of practice that
you will be committing to follow as a member of CIP. Review the
following:
(2) To introduce
you to the Student Manual for CIP Level 2, read the following:
(3) Establish
familiarity with destructive test instruments.
(4) Establish
familiarity with key industry terminology.
- Read the
Glossary of Coatings Terms. (PDF 23 KB)
- Most coatings
manufacturers have product Technical Data Sheets and Materials Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS) posted on their Web sites. Try to obtain and
study Technical Data Sheets and MSDS. Ensure that you understand
the terms that are used.
