High pressure water jetting is a very effective but hazardous method of surface preparation  in the protective coating industry. Popularity of this process is growing due to environmental considerations.

Accredited by the Water Jetting Association (WJA) this training certificate is globally accepted.

• Introduction to high pressure water jetting
• Coating systems used with high pressure water jetting
• Risk assessments for site working
• Method statements and checklists
• Water jetting standards (ISO and SSPC/NACE)
• High pressure water jetting to sea going vessels, offshore structures and general steel structures.

Marine coating applicators face many challenges not encountered in other environments.
It is therefore essential that the coatings are applied correctly and the surface preparation is in accordance with both regulations and the
coating suppliers recommendations. The marine coating applicator course was developed to deliver key skills and knowledge required when working in this specialised and demanding sector.

• Design and types of ships
• Why we paint ships
• Methods of surface preparation
• On board and ballast tank maintenance
• Marine coating systems and dry docking
• How to prepare and line a tank
