Certification
by SSPC
Vulcan Group congratulates congratulates Cory A. Allen for achieving PCS Certification at PACE 2006. Cory has been certified as an SSPC Protective Coatings Specialist (PCS), passing the PCS exam given at PACE 2006 in Tampa, Florida.
SSPC's PCS Certification Program recognizes industrial coating professionals for their extensive knowledge in the principles and practices specific to industrial coatings technology. Each coatings professional is evaluated on his/her mastery of coatings type, surface preparation, coatings application and inspection, contract planning/management, development of specifications, and the economics of protective coatings.
To be certified under the PCS Certification Program, each industrial coatings professional is first evaluated for their education and work experience to determine the extent of training to be completed prior to taking the comprehensive written exam. The training courses are SSPC's C1, Fundamentals of Protective Coatings for Industrial Structures, and C2, Specifying and Managing Protective Coating Projects, or courses of a similar content. The final step in certification is a comprehensive examination of the coating professional's use and knowledge in those areas.
