Corrosion Training Course Series: Cathodic Protection of Reinforced Concrete Structures, presented by NACE certified Corrosion Specialist , WebCorr Corrosion Consulting Services.

Cathodic Protection of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Course Overview

Development in anode materials for cathodic protection has made CP the most cost-effective technology in corrosion control and prevention for reinforced concrete structures. National and international standards on the cathodic protection of steel in reinforced concrete have been available for over a decade. This 5-day corrosion short course focuses on the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete structures. Application examples and real-life case studies will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this proven technique.

This corrosion short course is available for on-site or in-house training, course-on-demand, online and distance learning worldwide. It can also be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization.

In-House Training Corrosion Courses

If you are concerned with corrosion in your company, in-house training or on-site training is a great solution to train a group of employees from design, production, operation, quality assurance, inspection and maintenance, and technical sales and support on corrosion control and corrosion prevention technology. The contents of all our corrosion courses can be customized to fit your organization's needs.

There is no limit to the number of participants required for in-house training corrosion courses. We conduct the in-house training corrosion course at your company's premises worldwide, and at a time convenient to your company.

Corrosion Course-On-Demand

All our publicly scheduled corrosion short courses are conducted once a year. However, you do not need to wait for one year if you have missed any of the publicly scheduled corrosion courses as we have this unique corrosion course-on-demand scheme: we will conduct the course just for you (on an one-on-one basis) or for a small group from your company at a time and in a location convenient to you. This option costs significantly less than a full-scale in-house or on-site corrosion training program.

Online Corrosion Courses and Distance Learning Corrosion Courses

All our corrosion short courses are available for online or offline distance learning. You can start an online corrosion course at any time and learn at your own comfortable pace and schedule, whenever and wherever you are. You have around-the-clock access to the interactive and media-rich course materials, virtual labs, course instructions and course assessments. Discussions and questions related to the corrosion courses are posted on the website or exchanged through email for a period up to 3 months. Video conferencing or instant messaging can also be arranged for discussions of course topics. For those who do not have ready access to internet, we can send you our online course materials on a CD-ROM, or DVD, or USB flash drive for offline distance learning.
