Other Courses

CORROSION SCHOOL
The Institute has compiled a corrosion course that covers all the chapters in the Institute's Corrosion Textbook in a basic, easy-to–understand format. The Corrosion School is now being offered as an in-house, one-day course if you have ten or more employees that you would like to attend. The Institute will bring the school to you and, for a small fee, will provide the lecturers, the notes and the teaching aids, while all your organization has to do is provide the venue.

If your organisation is interested in the Corrosion School , please contact the Institute Secretary Ms Bev van Niekerk at Tel: 0860 CORRSA
