The association also offers its members the opportunity to achieve certifications in areas such as cathodic protection, coating inspection, general corrosion, and pipelines through its NACE Institute. Experienced industry professionals can also pursue several specialty certification programs, such as becoming a corrosion specialist.
NACE's top certification program, the corrosion specialist certification requires applicants to have previous certification as a specialist in protective coating, materials selection/design, internal corrosion, cathodic protection, or chemical treatment. Following acceptance of the completed application and contingent upon their work experience, individuals must then pass the exam to receive certification.
