Why this exists

Built for people who can't afford to fail

Most prep out there is recycled dumps or generic question banks with no field credibility. This isn't that.

The course costs thousands

A CIP or FROSIO course runs $3,000–5,000 plus weeks of your time. Failing the exam costs even more. A little focused practice is cheap insurance.

A worked answer for every item

After each CIP question you see why the answer is right and where the trap is; each FROSIO prompt comes with a model answer and key points — and AI marking checks how much of the model answer you covered.

Built to match the real exam

Questions follow the published blueprint weights — surface prep, coatings, inspection process, standards — in the format you'll actually face.

Built by a certified inspector working in marine coatings and shipbuilding QC.

Not a content farm. Every item is written from scratch to the published AMPP EPG blueprint weights or the FROSIO syllabus, every objective value is checked against the ISO / SSPC standard it cites, and nothing is recycled from real exam papers.

You won't find star ratings or reviews here — this product is new and says so. Instead, 35 real questions are open below with no email to start. Judge the quality yourself.

The tracks

Three tracks, one goal

Each track is built to its own published exam structure — pick the certification you're sitting.

AMPP CIP Level 1

$39

120-question theory exam across 11 domains. Our bank mirrors the published domain weights, so you spend time where the exam does — surface prep and coatings carry ~40% between them.

The CIP Level 1 track in detail →

AMPP CIP Level 2

$39

100-question, 2½-hour timed exam (NACE-CIP2-001) — the same 11 domains at greater depth: advanced surface preparation, coatings & linings, non-liquid coatings, deeper corrosion theory, specifications and documentation. Built to the published weighting at the real exam length.

The CIP Level 2 track in detail →

FROSIO

$59

An open/written theory exam (4 hours) plus a practical part — not multiple-choice. Our FROSIO track gives timed written mocks plus open-answer practice with model answers — built to the written format: heavy on ISO 8501/8502/8503, ISO 12944 and NORSOK M-501.

Inside the members area

Train the way you'll be examined

Real exam geometry: timed mocks at the exam's published length and blueprint, per-domain feedback on where you lost marks, and written practice that makes you answer before you see the model.

Timed mocks at the real exam length. 120 Q / 170 min for CIP Level 1 — with a question navigator to revisit and change answers, like the real thing.
Per-domain feedback after every mock. See exactly which scoring domains cost you marks — then drill only the questions you missed.
Write first, then compare. FROSIO mocks lock the model answer until you've answered — then AI pre-marks your coverage and you keep final say.

Screens simplified for display — same layout and features as the live members area.

The explanation depth you get on every item

Per SSPC-PA 2, a single 'spot measurement' of DFT (the average of three readings in a 4 cm diameter circle) is acceptable down to what fraction of the specified minimum DFT?

100% — the spot must meet the spec minimum
80% of the spec minimum ✓
50% of the spec minimum
Any value — only the area average matters
Why: Per SSPC-PA 2 (Levels 1–3): a single spot may be as low as 80% of the specified minimum DFT; the area average (of 5 spots) must still meet the spec minimum. Common trap: applying the 80% rule to the area average instead of to spots.

FAQ

Questions

Is this affiliated with AMPP, NACE, or FROSIO?
No. It's an independent study aid built around the public AMPP CIP Level 1 + Level 2 EPGs and the FROSIO syllabus. We don't sell certifications — we help you pass their exams.
Are these real exam questions?
Never. Copying real exam questions is unethical and against exam rules. Ours are written from scratch against the public exam blueprints, not lifted from any real paper.
How do I know the questions are any good?
Don't take our word for it — try the sampler. 15 CIP Level 1 multiple-choice items, 10 CIP Level 2 multiple-choice items, and 10 FROSIO open-answer prompts with model answers are open right now, no email needed.
What do I get when I buy a track?
12 months of access to that track in the members area: three timed mock exams (FROSIO's are written — answer first, then AI pre-marks your answers against the model answers and you keep final say), practice mode with a worked explanation (CIP) or model answer (FROSIO), a post-exam review of exactly which questions you missed, and per-domain feedback on where you lost marks. CIP Level 1 and Level 2 are $39 each ($59 for the bundle); FROSIO is $59. One-time payment — no subscription, no auto-renewal — and 12 months covers any exam window with room to spare.
Can I see the quality before I pay?
Yes — that's what the sampler is for. 15 CIP Level 1, 10 CIP Level 2 and 10 FROSIO items are open right now with no email required, and the worked explanations unlock with just your email. Judge it before you spend a cent.
What is your refund policy?
