CIP Short Course (Exam Course)
Versions of the CIP Level 1 and Level 2 courses, otherwise known as 'Exam Courses' are no longer available.
CIP Blended Course
NACE has created a partial online course, which they call a 'blended' course. The theory parts of the course take place via computer link with presentations from established CIP instructors. This part takes three (3) days. At some point, this part of the course leads to an exam in the CBT format, held at an established test centre.
Candidates must then attend a more traditional 3 day course in which they participate with hands-on learning of inspection equipment, methods and techniques. The 'practical' exam for this part of the course takes place on the last day of the course at the same venue.
This version of the CIP courses (Level 1 and Level 2) is not currently offered in the UK, but may be in the future
