The AMPP Certified Coatings Inspector (CIP Level 2) is the advanced coatings inspector credential from AMPP (formerly NACE CIP Level 2 and SSPC PCI Level 2). It validates advanced inspection competency for liquid and non-liquid coatings on diverse substrates, including advanced destructive and nondestructive testing, specialty coatings such as thermal spray metallizing and pipeline FBE, coating failure analysis, and specification interpretation. It is the required credential for many pipeline, offshore, and industrial inspection roles and is a prerequisite for CIP Level 3.
What are the prerequisites for CIP Level 2?
To certify as CIP Level 2, candidates must successfully complete the CIP Level 1 course and maintain active Basic Coatings Inspector certification, accumulate 2 years of verifiable coating-related work experience (per AMPP's Accepted Work Experience Requirements), successfully complete the CIP Level 2 course, and complete the Ethics for the Corrosion Professional course (or an AMPP-approved equivalent training). Candidates must then submit an online application for approval before sitting for the theory and practical exams.
