Diploma In Cathodic Protection
Diploma In Cathodic Protection
Course Overview
The Diploma in Cathodic Protection provides comprehensive training in the principles, design, installation, operation, and maintenance of cathodic protection systems used to prevent corrosion in metallic structures. This course covers both galvanic (sacrificial anode) and impressed current systems, offering learners a strong technical foundation in corrosion science, electrochemical theory, and the practical techniques applied across industries.
Learners will study pipeline protection, storage tanks, offshore structures, marine environments, reinforced concrete protection, and industrial equipment where corrosion control is critical. The program emphasizes the interpretation of technical data, system troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and compliance with international standards such as ISO, NACE/AMPP, API, and BS EN requirements.
