API 570 Process Pipework Inspector Certification Training

Our API 570 Process Pipework Inspector Certification Training Course is suited for those who wish to become Certified API 570 Piping inspectors. API 570 Inspectors must have a broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, alteration, and repair of in-service metallic piping systems. The API 570 examination is designed to determine if applicants have such knowledge.

The API 570 Process Pipework Inspector Course will help you through the certification program which ultimately, benefits employers and the industry by helping to:

  • Provide a continued high level of safety using inspectors specialised in process piping.
  • Improve management control of process unit inspection, repair, alteration, and re-rating.
  • Reduce the potential for inspection delays resulting from regulatory requirements.

Our API Individual Certification Programme (ICP) exam preparation training for API 510, 570 and 653 is delivered in two parts. Prior to the 5 days of classroom training, delegates will be expected to complete the 4-month eLearning training syllabus which forms a significant part of the learning programme.

Delegates are guided through various modules which come with accompanying question sets aimed at increasing technical knowledge and code familiarity. The on-line training provides the core knowledge that we consider the minimum standard required prior to our 5-day intensive classroom course. This ensures that the course is not held up by delegates unfamiliar with the relevant codes.

After successful completion of the on-line training, the 5-day full-time classroom training commences. This is usually delivered immediately prior to the API examination window, providing the ultimate preparation to our candidates prior to sitting the formal API examination.

Why train with is. Just check out the global 1st time pass rates, they are about 50%! Our courses have 95%+ 1st time pass rate, save yourself the heartache of doing these difficult exams twice. Do it with us, do it once!
