NACE International Offers Coating Inspector Program in Blended Learning Format
HOUSTON – After a year in development, NACE International has rolled out its flagship Coating Inspector Program (CIP) in a blended learning format that splits the course into online and in-person components. The first virtual CIP Level 1 class was held at the end of March. Originally planned for release this summer, NACE instructors are opening their schedules to meet the requests of students who were registered for in-person classes that have been canceled due to the global COVID-19 health crisis.
Designed to accommodate students who can’t travel for extended periods of time or spend five consecutive days off work, the curriculum breaks the course into two days of theoretical education virtually and three days of practical, in-person training that is taken later. Virtual classes will be hosted as a synchronous learning experience where students are able to view and communicate with instructors in real time.
