There has been an overwhelming demand for NACE Coating Inspector courses in Johannesburg, and the CIP 1 class planned  from 27 September to 02 October is full and there is a long waiting list. Consequently an additional CIP 1 class has been added to the NACE programme. The class will be held from 25 to 30 October. This course is also nearly full and anyone who is interested in registering should contact Beverley as soon as possible.
