Class is held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For those not already certified and are seeking certification, the MPGA offers a full two-day class. The course will conclude with a written and practical examination. Each student must pass with a minimum score of 70 percent to receive a Cathodic Protection Certification showing competence and qualification. You may bring your own testing equipment, if desired.

Cathodic Protection Compliance Training Refresher
10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. (Registration Fee $60)
Recertification may be accomplished by either satisfying the work experience requirements or by passing the half-day cathodic protection (CP) tester refresher class. Neither of these options can be used without submitting a copy of your original signed certification paper from National Pipeline Services. If you do not have the original certificate, then you must retake the regular two-day class to receive certification.  For your certification to remain current, you must complete at least five documented CP tests and submit the MPGA CP Tester Recertification Application (link below) for approval every three years. If you are unable to document a minimum of five specific cathodic protection tests on five different tanks over the last three years and provide a copy of the actual test data sheets, you are required to attend a half-day refresher course. A certificate of completion will be provided.

July 9 – Midland
September 17 – Midland
