The NACE-CIP2-001 exam is the official NACE exam behind NACE Coating Inspector Level 2 — passing it earns you the NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP) Level 2 certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by NACE Coating Inspector Level 2. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the NACE CIP Level 1 and NACE CIP Level 3 certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one NACE credential.

Completion of NACE CIP Level 1 and required industry field experience is typically required before enrolling in Level 2 (subject to AMPP program requirements). Because NACE revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official NACE exam page before you register.
