Introduction to Cathodic Protection Course

Cathodic Protection Course Overview

This bespoke awareness course is designed to be delivered internally to your team according to your requirements. It explores key principles around cathodic protection, laying important groundworks around both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. Delegates will study essential principles regarding safe operation and maintenance, and the effects of cathodic protection on other systems.

Why This Course?

Tailored to your requirements

With a wide range of modules to choose from, our training team will work with you to design a highly effective learning solution that suits your team. The course outline and modules have been designed by senior consultants from Penspen’s Centre of Engineering Excellence who are experts in the subject of cathodic protection.

Full project lifecycle

We offer modules across the entire lifecycle of a cathodic protection system, providing a comprehensive foundation covering all key principles around operation, monitoring, maintenance, inspection, analysis, and safety. It can also cover retrofitting, so that cathodic protection systems can be upgraded or replaced as necessary.
