Certification to Test Cathodic Protection

• Provide a letter from your employer (unless you own your company) on company letterhead stationery stating that you are a full-time employee of the company.
• Provide proof of six months’ experience under a licensed UST Installation Contractor, licensed UST Technician, OR licensed UST Cathodic Protection Tester.**

* Approved cathodic protection course providers include ALPEC, NACE, PETCON, and STI.

** You must provide proof of six months’ experience by letter of employer, W-2, or MDEQ approved equivalent.
