Virtual Classroom:
Part I of the course is provided online over a two-day period in a virtual classroom with a live instructor. This program benefits anyone responsible for supervising CP systems, measuring the effectiveness of CP systems, and/or recording this data, including:
- CP field personnel
- Technicians
Learning Objectives
- Define how polarity is related to current flow and metal corrosion activity
- Define CP components including impressed current systems, galvanic anodes, and test stations
- Recall the use, maintenance, and precautions for reference cells
- Utilize basic location mapping, report preparation, and record keeping
- Recognize safety issues specific to CP
- Recall code requirements related to CP
Students will receive the same manual, reference material, and coursework such as exercises, quizzes, and activities you would receive in our traditional in-person classroom courses.
Practical Classroom:
You will perform the in-person, hands-on traning, including using equipment and instruments for CP testing. Practical sessions are now being scheduled in adherence with CDC and WHO guidelines so you can complete Part ll of the blended program. Learning objectives include:
- Conduct tests to identify shorts and continuity tests in CP systems
- Use test instruments to perform a variety of field tests such as structure-to-soil potentials, voltage and current measurements, soil resistivity, pipe/cable locating, and rectifier readings
- Read shunts and recognize their use in rectifiers, bonds, and anodes
- Perform periodic surveys to confirm the effectiveness of a CP system
Additional Resources to Prepare You:
Take advantage of additional supplemental resource materials provided with every CP1 Blended Virtual Class registration. These resources include Lessons 1 and 2 of the CP Fundamentals: Math & Electricity e-course.
