Completion certificate and CPD hours
The learning program is aimed at pipeline integrity engineers who are involved with the inspection, assessment, or repair of pipeline defects.
The program is an online, on-demand course designed to be completed within 3 - 4 months. The program includes the following:
When you successfully complete this program you will be able to describe pipeline integrity and pipeline defect assessments (for all types of defects found in pipelines) and can summarize and give examples of fatigue assessment. Individuals will have an understanding of the effects and consequences of their work, with knowledge and understanding of best practice, and will be able to carry out work with supervision.
Dr. Phil Hopkins, an independent consultant based in the UK, developed all content for this program. Dr Hopkins has held a number of senior management and executive positions in the oil and gas business, and combines this high level management expertise with over four decades of experience in transmission pipelines, including work on pipeline engineering, damage, safety, risk, integrity, surveillance, inspection and maintenance, and repair.
