Introduction

Corrosion is a critical challenge across industries such as oil & gas, power generation, marine, and infrastructure, leading to asset degradation, safety risks, and high maintenance costs. Effective corrosion control management is essential to ensure asset integrity, operational reliability, and long-term sustainability.

This program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a comprehensive 10-day training that equips participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills to identify, monitor, prevent, and manage corrosion using modern technologies and international standards.
