Thick Film Intumescent Coating Applicator

About Train the Painter

Train the Painter is an internationally recognised training programme which is accredited and approved by Lloyds Register.

The Thick Film Intumescent Coating Applicator course has been developed by coating experts at Corrodere Academy. This was in response to the strong demand for certification within the Industrial Coatings industry that now requires personnel working within the Road, Rail, Renewables, and Oil and Gas industries to obtain professional specified certificates.

Course Overview

As part of the globally recognised Train the Painter coating applicator training program, this independently accredited training course has been developed to meet industry demands.

This training program has been developed with input from industry experts and associated bodies to create the first and only accredited Thick Film Intumescent training in the UK. All aspects of surface preparation and application of the products will be taught using both practical and theoretical methods.

Intumescent coatings are applied to steel buildings either on or off site to prevent structural failure in the event of fire. It is therefore essential that these coatings are applied by trained and qualified coating applicators. Thorough and correct training in Thick Film Intumescent coating saves time, money, and ultimately lives.
