Certification Scheme for Cathodic Protection Personnel
The Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) are running Level 1 and Level 2 CP technician training courses in accordance with BS EN 15257:2006.
This Standard has now been updated to an ISO Standard, BS EN ISO 15257:2017. Under the new ISO scheme the levels of certification have changed. What was Technician Level 1 in the 2006 standard is now equivalent to Technician Level 2 in the 2017 standard and what was Senior Technician Level 2 in the 2006 standard is now equivalent to Senior Technician Level 3 in the 2017 standard.
Personnel who have previously been trained by the CPA, and who also obtained Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) certification under the BS EN 15257:2006 scheme or who take part in the 2018 courses will be able to apply to ICorr to have their qualification updated to the equivalent level under the new ISO scheme in early 2019, when the ICorr ISO certification scheme in accordance with the 2017 ISO standard becomes live.
