Honestly, this wasn’t supposed to be a training platform.
It started with a few weekly articles, and evolved into a structured ladder of corrosion training, written by the people doing the work.
It started in 2025, on LinkedIn.
A few weekly articles, some work pictures, things we thought were useful. Brand awareness, more or less. The response surprised us. Subscribers in the first month exceeded what we’d hoped for in six. People started asking for more.
So we moved to our own newsletter site. We added longer articles. Paid tiers for deeper content. People still asked for more.
Some of those readers were asking for structured training — not articles, but a real ladder they could work through. We had years of training material already, built up from running private courses, speaking at industry conventions, and helping other companies put their own training together. We figured we’d publish more of it as articles. After some debate, we built it as proper training instead.
This site is that.
Corrosion technicians, working out of West Virginia.
We’re Roberts Corrosion Services, LLC. Out of Harrisville, West Virginia, working nationwide since 2011. Cathodic Protection systems. Internal corrosion. Coatings inspection. We design, install, and maintain. We build our own rectifiers. We run our own laboratory. Heck, we even drill our own deep anode wells. The team carries 25+ years of industry committee work, and a lot of fieldwork that didn’t go on a slide.
We see, and do, a lot of stuff. Sometimes a client gives us clear direction; sometimes they ask us to figure something out. Either way, the same body of knowledge piles up. A fair amount of it belongs in someone else’s hands besides ours.
Same goal as everything we publish: to provide something useful.
Three tracks. Fifty-three rungs. PDH/CEC eligible.
Each rung is a few modules of structured training: read it, listen to it, apply it, quiz on it. Finish a section, earn a printable certificate with PDH/CEC audit fields built in. Climb a tier, earn a medal.
It’s not a static library. New modules go up every week. New equipment shows up in the field, we cover it. New standards land, we update. A generation of senior corrosion technicians is retiring; we’re trying to make the next one’s morning a little easier.
