We are holding another new, 4-day technical training course on protective coatings and intumescent fire protection for steel structures, in December.
Amongst many things, you will learn how to use all the relevant testing instruments, with technicians on hand to assist. RCP Training has been developed by Dick Frost and the course is taught by well known, highly experienced, senior industry professionals. The course is also endorsed and approved by Elcometer Ltd and Sherwin-Williams UK.
The BCSA’s primary goal is to enhance quality and minimise failures, as well as the associated cost of rectifying them, for the benefit of the industry. The RCP course is designed to educate those professionals in the supply chain who have responsibility for protective and intumescent coatings but would like more knowledge to better manage risks.
The course is suitable for consultant engineers, specifiers, directors, managers and supervisors as well as potential coatings’ inspectors and paint makers.
The course adopts key European Standards as used by the industry.
Key topics covered:
- Corrosion – a basic understanding
- Environmental testing and use of instruments
