Warm Christmas Wishes,

As we head into the festive season, the Governance Board and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to you and your families for a happy, safe, and relaxing Christmas break. After another full and productive year for CBIP, it’s a great chance to pause, unwind, and reflect on everything we’ve achieved together in 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to all our volunteers, technical personnel, and supporters who continue to give their time and expertise so generously. Your dedication is truly appreciated, and CBIP simply wouldn’t function without you.

This year we welcomed 30 new Members and issued 51 new Certificates — a reflection of the strong engagement and growth across our certification programmes.

Please note that our office will be closed from 23 December, reopening on 13 January 2026. If you need assistance over this period, feel free to email us and I will respond as soon as I am back.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas, a well-earned break, and all the very best for the year ahead. We look forward to another successful year together in 2026.

Warm regards,

Carolyn McClutchie

On behalf of the CBIP Governance Board

To all CBIP Members,

Please be advised that, effective 6th January 2025, CBIP fees will increase. This adjustment is necessary to keep pace with inflation and the rising costs of delivering our services.

The increase applies across all fee categories, including certification examinations and competency assessments.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

• Fee Schedule 2026

The CBIP Governance Board would like to notify you that it will not be accepting any new Coatings applications for the remainder of 2025, as it undergoes a review of the Coatings Certification requirements.
