As you know, for long-term success, your business needs to grow in revenue, not just by cutting costs. This usually means investing in people, equipment, land, buildings, marketing, and whatever else might be required for the company to progress. During a slow

economy, filled with uncertainty, it is difficult to determine when it is safe to jump in and start spending.

Right now, one of the safest things that you can do is to make sure that your people are well prepared to handle the business that comes through the door when the economy does turn around. You will be ahead while your competitors are playing catch-up. Right now, as customers are looking to stretch their dollars and get the most for their money, they are looking for vendors who provide the greatest value: A good quality product at an affordable price. A trained and

productive workforce gives you that competitive advantage.

SSPC Training and Certification programs are high quality learning opportunities that won’t gouge your budget. Every program currently offered requires six days or fewer to complete – a key feature that minimizes time away from the job. In addition, SSPC’s online training library continues to expand as we look for ways to make training more convenient for our members. Finally, our programs are among the most flexible in the coatings industry in that we allow students to not only use previous SSPC training toward qualifying for certifications, but also certain non-SSPC programs that have been completed.

Our main goal at SSPC is to provide the necessary knowledge and resources for the key stakeholders in a protective coatings project. So whether you are a contractor, consultant, inspector, engineer, paint or equipment manufacturer, or structure or facility owner, SSPC Training & Certification programs can help your project be successful.

SSPC remains committed to partnering with you to ensure a competitive and competent workforce for the protective coatings industry. We encourage you to keep checking our web site (www.SSPC.org) for the latest developments in training and certification programs for coatings professionals like you.

Maintain documentation of the certification by entering the students into the SSPC databaseIssue SSPC certificates and photo ID wallet cards for those who have achieved certification.

Certification will be valid for no more than three years and is maintained by:

Successful completion of a minimum of 40 hours per year of SSPC accepted formal applicator training; orSuccessful retake of the written and practical certification examination.

Important Note:SSPC Interim Application Specialist Certification is valid for a maximum of two three-year terms or 6 years. Those wishing to renew their application specialist certification after completion of the second term must take a “Full Status” written exam in order to transfer certification status from “interim” to “full.”

Coating Application Specialist (CAS) Certification Program Program DescriptionThe SSPC Coating Application Specialist Certification Program is designed to certify those individual craft workers who have experience and training in all aspects of hands-on surface preparation and coating application of complex industrial and marine structures, according to the requirements of the SSPC Coating Application Specialist (CAS) Program. This certification program also meets the requirements of ISO 17024. Facility owners, contractors, or certifying agencies may use this program for certification of Application Specialists for other substrates or conditions, as considered appropriate.

Program Options– SSPC Coating Application Specialist Level 1– SSPC Coating Application Specialist Level 2 Certification Program (CAS) (Interim Status)– SSPC Coating Application Specialist Level 2 Certification Program (CAS) (Full Status)(See sidebar)

Exam ContentLevel 1The SSPC Coating Application Specialist Level 1 exam consists of basic knowledge of industrial coatings and linings.

Level 2The SSPC Coating Applicator Specialist Level 2 Certification Program requires passing a closed-book written exam drawn from the core areas of the SSPC Transition Plan Body of Knowledge:

• Environmental, safety, and health• Surface Preparation• Coating Application• Equipment/Troubleshooting

The hands-on portion of the testing certifies proficiency in abrasive blasting and coating application using conventional or airless spray. A minimum grade of 70% is required on the written exam and a minimum grade of 90% is required on the hands-on practical exam, in order for a painter to be considered for (CAS) certification.

About the Interim ProgramThe “Interim Certification Program,” SSPC Coating Application Specialist (CAS) allows those in the current workforce the opportunity to realistically achieve certification during the next several years. It focuses directly on the needs of the Application Specialist and provides criteria for the education, training, experience, knowledge, and motor skills required to prepare and apply protective coatings to steel and concrete surfaces of complex industrial and marine structures.

SSPC offers two tracks to achieve “interim” certification under the SSPC CAS Program.Visit www.sspc.org/training.

About the Full Status Certification ProgramDue to the make up of the current workforce and available training opportunities, SSPC strongly believes that owners should specify SSPC “Interim Status” painter certification during the next several years (in lieu of full status certification), while the industry gets up to speed with the new requirements. For a copy of SSPC’s position statement go to www.sspc.org/training.

SSPC will still offer “full status” certification to SSPC ACS-1/NACE 13 under the CAS program for those who request it and qualify.

SSPC offers three tracks to achieve “full” certification under the SSPC CAS Program.Visit www.sspc.org/training for the latest information.

Master Coatings Inspector (MCI)

SSPC Master Coatings Inspector Certificate(MCI)The goal of the Master Coatings Inspector program is solely to recognize and honor those individuals whose experience and training has afforded them the prestige of multiple inspector certifications. SSPC recognizes that it takes tremendous personal commitment and dedication to the industry to maintain professional qualifications, and that task in and of itself is a core reason why so many of those people are so widely respected.

If you happen to be one of these highly trained and experienced individuals, SSPC would feel privileged to have you apply for Master Coatings Inspector recognition. There is no cost to you to file the application or maintain the recognition. All you need to do to qualify is hold a current certification for the CCI and any two of the following three steel inspection programs: PCI, BCI, or NBPI.

If you qualify and meet the criteria, you will be issued a certificate with a unique Master Coatings Inspector number as well as a special pin recognizing your achievement. You will also be recognized in the JPCL and other industry publications via a special press release issued on your behalf. The best thing is that once you are a Master Coatings Inspector, you will always be a Master Coatings Inspector. As long as you file your annual renewal and maintain your individual certifications, SSPC will keep you on the “Active” list of MCI’s. Otherwise, you will go on the “Inactive” list. However, you will still be considered a Master Coatings Inspector.

Why should I apply for the MCI ?We believe that you should be proud of your training and experience and make your colleagues aware of it. The MCI program places you in a unique category that not many people achieve.

Will SSPC accept other inspector certificationsas qualification for the MCI ?No. At this time, we are only recognizing those people that are certified through SSPC-administered programs. However, each SSPC inspector certification program contains criteria that will enable those certified by other organizations to bypass certain of the SSPC program requirements.

Does MCI incur an additional fee ?No. You already pay to maintain your individual certifications.

How does this compare to SSPC’s PCS program ?The PCS certification and the MCI are focused on different types of coatings professionals. The PCS certified individuals would not necessarily be coatings inspectors, and vice versa. However, both programs require a high level of knowledge, experience, and training to achieve. Also, MCI is a recognition program, whereas PCS is a certification.
