Inaugural Corrosion Forum
Bob Chalker
NACE Executive Director
Training programs are increasingly accompanied by certification options, even when the program is entry level.
MARKET TRENDS AFFECTING CORROSION EDUCATION & CERTIFICATION
Due to:
Global trends toward integrated economies
Increasing need for 3rd party involvement in Quality Assurance processes
A more transient workforce
Increased collegiate/university focus on training curricula
MARKET TRENDS AFFECTING CORROSION EDUCATION & CERTIFICATION
Due to:
Deteriorating industrial assets
Focus on protection/life-extension of government assets
Emphasis on maintenance optimization
Difficulty in incorporating corrosion curricula into other engineering curricula (pushes semester requirements)
As corrosion control training programs grow globally:
TREND-GLOBAL EMPHASIS NACE CREDENTIALS = CREDIBILITY
Personnel qualifications are reaching the highest level of standardization ever; a necessity in a global economy
As business is conducted worldwide the industry relies on NACE certifications as a metric for increased standardization of personnel performance
The value of a certification increases as new international standards related to that certification unfold
Established by eleven corrosion engineers from the pipeline industry as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers
