Achieving the AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspector (CIP Level 3) designation is the pinnacle of the coatings inspection profession. It moves you from a technician who follows the ITP to a leader who writes it, defends it, and improves it. This certification is not just about more knowledge; it’s about demonstrating judgment, leadership, and expert-level problem-solving.
This 6-day intensive bootcamp is engineered for one purpose: to get you ready for the rigors of the Level 3 exam. Meticulously structured around the 7 official exam domains, this is not a simple review. It is an immersive, hands-on, and scenario-based program designed to build and test your competence in real-time. Through daily labs, challenging case studies, and exam-style oral peer reviews, you will build the confidence and sharpen the skills needed to succeed.
100% Blueprint Aligned: Every session, lab, and discussion is directly mapped to the 7 domains of the CIP Level 3 exam blueprint.
Daily Oral Exam Practice: We prepare you for the toughest part of the exam with daily, timed, exam-style oral questions and peer-review simulations.
Hands-On, Not Just Theory: With a 45% hands-on focus, you’ll be using advanced instrumentation, creating ITPs, and diagnosing real-world scenarios.
Capstone Integration: The final day culminates in a start-to-finish mock project that forces you to integrate all 7 domains under pressure, just like a senior inspector must.
