About the AMPP CIP Level 1 Exam
The AMPP Basic Coatings Inspector Certification (CIP Level 1) is the entry-level credential in the AMPP Coatings Inspector Program (formerly NACE CIP and SSPC PCI). Candidates complete a 5-6 day in-person course covering SSPC/NACE surface preparation standards (SP 1 through SP 16, including water jetting WJ-1 through WJ-4), abrasive selection, surface profile measurement per ASTM D4417 (Keane-Tator, Testex replica tape, depth micrometer), ambient conditions and dew point per SSPC-TU 4, wet and dry film thickness per ASTM D4414 and SSPC-PA 2, holiday detection per ASTM D5162 (low-voltage wet sponge and high-voltage spark), and basic coating chemistries (alkyd, epoxy, polyurethane, zinc-rich primer). The certification is valid for 3 years and requires renewal with PDH documentation. There are no prerequisites for the CIP Level 1 course.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CIP 1 vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the CIP 1 vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 19 CIP 1 terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the CIP 1 terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the AMPP (Association for Materials Protection and Performance) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the AMPP CIP Level 1 certification?
The AMPP Basic Coatings Inspector (CIP Level 1) is the entry-level credential in the AMPP Coatings Inspector Program, formerly the NACE CIP Level 1 and SSPC PCI Level 1. It validates foundational knowledge of coating inspection on steel substrates, including SSPC surface preparation standards, surface profile measurement, dew point calculations, wet and dry film thickness measurement per SSPC-PA 2, holiday detection per ASTM D5162, and basic coating chemistries. The certification is valid for 3 years and is the required first step for CIP Level 2 and CIP Level 3.
Are there prerequisites for the AMPP CIP Level 1 course?
There are no formal prerequisites for the CIP Level 1 course itself — anyone can register. However, candidates are expected to have some field exposure to industrial coating work before attempting the certification exam. The course is intensive (5-6 days of in-person instruction and hands-on labs with real inspection instruments), so practical experience makes the material easier to absorb. Candidates often come from industrial painting contractors, owner-operator facilities, engineering firms, and quality departments.
