Why Our Courses Are Offered by Zoom Videoconferencing
Course Description
This course is an examination preparation course that will assist those who are planning on writing the API Piping Inspector Certification exam. This course will teach the following:
-
Navigation within the required Code documents (an essential skill for answering questions accurately and in a timely fashion)
-
The required knowledge to pass the examination as listed in the API Body of Knowledge
-
Methods and skills required to perform Code calculations during the examination
-
This course contains pre-class lessons, live instruction and classroom course work, and practice exams
Pre-course lessons will be available online up to 100 days prior to the classroom course dates. Course registrants will receive a printed notebook in class.
Topics Covered
During the course, the instructor will cover the information contained in the API Body of Knowledge. It is important to note that Kinetic Inspection & Testing has no prior knowledge of what questions will be on the examination. Therefore, it is our intent to train exam candidates sufficiently to answer anything that API could ask from the topics listed in the Body of Knowledge.
In the course participants will have the opportunity to be guided through the Codes by an experienced instructor. They will have the chance to answer questions that are similar to the ones that will be asked on the exam, and have concepts and calculation steps demonstrated in a way that is designed to assist each course participant and address each person’s unique skill set.
Course participants will be encouraged to participate in class discussions and workshops that will address the navigation in the Codes, calculations, making the connections between the construction Codes and the repair Codes, review of welding procedure specifications and more. The instructor will be available for one-on-one assistance and discussion following classes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Registration in this course does not register an individual for the actual API ICP examination. This must be done through API at www.api.org. API expects all examination candidates to have relatively broad experience and knowledge prior to attempting this examination. If you have any questions regarding your suitability and chances of success in writing this challenging examination, please contact Kinetic Inspection & Testing and we will discuss your specific situation and give you recommendations on courses and training that will suit your specific goals and circumstances.
