"Travis, hope you and your family are doing well. My NACE CIP certification has not only increased my knowledge but it increased my ability to inspect to a greater level, making the inspection worth more to my clients. It has given me a great opportunity to meet people in the industry and make some great relationships. Thank you Sir for being one of those relationships."
Mike Landers
Certified Int'l Coatings Inspector Level 3, CIP Instructor
"[CIP] meant everything to me. I grew up in this industry. From collecting film thickness readings on the fridge at 6 years old with a banana gauge to eventually becoming a part of a huge network - that feels more like a family than work. To be able to work all over the world. To be a part of so many projects with so many companies. And to be proud to call something complete because I was trained by the best. It has meant being able to work hard to become something that allows me to provide a good life for my family. Something only I could obtain for myself. Something only I can lose. Something I will never betray..... and you can quote me on that"
