Thin Film Intumescent Coating Applicator (inc. CSCS card)
Thin Film Intumescent Coating Applicator (inc. CSCS card)
This is the fully accredited ( CSCS, bre, ASFP) Train The Painter applicators course for thin film intumescent coatings.
Thin Film Intumescent Coating Course
Intumescent coatings are applied to steel buildings either on or off site to prevent structural failure in the event of fire, it is therefore essential that these coatings are applied by trained and qualified coating applicators. Thorough and correct training in Thin Film Intumescent Coating saves time, money and ultimately lives!
As part of the Globally recognised Train the painter coating applicator training program, this independently accredited training course for Thin Film Intumescent coatings has been developed to meet industry demands.
This training program has been developed with input from industry experts and associated bodies to create the first and only accredited Thin Film Intumescent coatings in the UK. All aspects of surface preparation and application of the products will be taught using both practical and theoretical methods.
To complete your theory modules via distance learning before attending the practical workshop assessment, choose the “online” option when asked to select a date.

Who’s it for?
This course provides much needed training where none existed before in the application of intumescent coatings that after the sad events in 2017 of Grenfell Tower, we all now realise the potential correctly surveyed and applied passive fire protection (PFP) can save lives in private and public buildings.
Requirements
For inexperienced and unqualified operatives a 2 day Basic Preparation and Coating Course must be attended before attending the 1 day Thin Film Intumescent course.
