Why take a Kinetic course?

When it comes to training, most people tell us they want three things:

1. The training must be convenient for their schedule, location and learning style.

2. The training cost is always an important deciding factor.

3. The training must be successful in preparing the participant for the exam they are taking.

At Kinetic Inspection & Testing, we have striven to address these three things in the training courses that we offer. 

How? 

First, we offer three types of courses. We have immersive, 6-day Live Webinar courses that provide the most in-depth and comprehensive training we can offer. We have Combination Courses that combine convenient evening live webinar classes with online self-study materials. And we have Online Self-study Courses for those who want to work at their own pace but are still supported by an easily accessible instructor. Click here for videos and descriptions of each type of course or click on the tabs below to learn more.

Second, our costs are lower than our competitors. Because we offer three types of courses, all with full instructor support and tutoring, we have an option that will fit your budget, schedule and learning style! Make sure you look at the tabs below or click here here to see the descriptions and videos of each course type, and what is involved in each. In addition to our low course costs, we also can provide a discount code to use on the Techstreet website where you can purchase your required codes. This will lower the cost of the codes below what other training providers can offer! 

Third, we work hard to make sure that you are successful! From the time you register in a course, your questions and communications are always answered by the instructor, not some "subject matter expert" who has not met you. By phone, text, email or Zoom tutoring sessions, the instructor is always ready to assist. The online course materials use videos, descriptive lessons, quizzes, and practice exams to ensure that you are prepared for your examination! Our course materials provide immediate scoring and feedback, and the Practice Exams provide an additional Focus Report showing where you need to work on your knowledge! The instructor, Todd Smith, maintains active certifications in all the courses he teaches, and re-writes the exams regularly to make sure that the information in the course is up-to-date and current.

If you are thinking about obtaining one of the certifications that we currently teach (API 510, 570, 653 or 1169) please make sure you fill in the form above for a chance to get a 50% discount off of the course of your choosing! If you are successful in being drawn for this discount, you will be contacted by the email or phone number you enter. The discount, if you are successful, is meant to be used for a new registration and cannot be applied to or used for an active registration that has already been made. 

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

What is a Live Webinar Course?

Our Live Webinar courses are what were previously our Classroom courses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, we were forced to move our classroom courses to a Live Webinar offering, as we could no longer meet together physically. But we discovered something amazing! The live webinar courses opened the door to people to have a more comfortable and relaxed learning experience, as they were in the comfort of their own home or office. There was no travel expense or hassle. There were no restaurant expenses.  But people still enjoyed the same, if not better, educational experience!

In the live webinar there is the same opportunity to ask questions, to receive detailed personal instruction, to listen to, and see the live instructor explain the material, as there was in the classroom course, all the while following along in a hard copy text book that is shipped to participants prior to the course. In fact, we found that participants were more comfortable to ask all their questions, as there was no "crowd intimidation" factor that sometimes makes people hold back from asking questions in the classroom setting. Great efforts have been made to ensure that the level of instruction and personal interaction between the instructor and the course participants is maintained at or higher than what was available in a classroom setting. 

The live webinars are following the same schedule that we had for the classroom courses previously:

  • precourse material is available up to 100 days prior to the webinar sessions (includes lessons, videos, quizzes and practice questions)
  • main course is 6 days of live instruction
  • printed course text to use and keep
  • practice exams and study plan are opened at the end of the 6 day sessions (online access to the full Practice Exams, both open and closed book, including the Focus Report and immediate feedback)
  • BONUS - there will be TWO live Practice Exam reviews! One at the end of the 6 day course and one at the start of the applicable testing window
  • from the day of registration on participants have full support from the instructor by email, text, phone or if needed, live web conferencing for tutoring
  • participants receive a course certificate that shows the number of training hours they personally put in that can be used for CWB, AWS, ABSA certification requirements

The Live Webinar courses include the following educational tools:

  • introductory videos
  • detailed explanatory lessons
  • practice  questions following each lesson with immediate scoring and feedback
  • quizzes with immediate scoring and feedback
  • Practice Exams - timed exams, including both open and closed book exams, that give immediate scoring and solutions
  • Focus Report after each Practice Exam - this provides detailed feedback as to where more study may be needed
  • Study Plan - a detailed, systematic approach to combining the results of the Focused Report into the course lessons to make studying organized and productive

What is a Combination Course?

Combination Courses are our latest type of course offering. The combination courses combine the flexibility of a self study delivery, with the guided learning of a webinar/classroom course. If you find yourself in a situation where it is not feasible to take a 6 day course due to work or personal scheduling issues, but still want the security and benefit of personal instruction from an instructor, this may be the course for you! This course is designed for the participants to work through much of the material on their own, but to receive personal instruction via live webinar on scheduled days. 

The Combination Courses will offer participants 8 opportunities to attend webinars with the instructor, mostly in the evening hours. This means that those who are working full time will likely be able to attend these classes to receive the detailed instruction and get their personal questions answered. In addition to the webinars, there will be a scheduled Practice Exam review shortly before the testing window applicable to the course. This will allow all course participants to be guided through one of the Practice Exams by the instructor, focusing on navigation, Key Words, Code use and understanding, and any questions raised by participants.

The Combination Courses include all of the teaching and educational tools found in the Self Study Course, and all of the benefits and communication found in the Live Webinar Course! This is a fantastic way to meet the balance between scheduling, budget, and personal development!

Combination Courses include the following:

  • introductory videos
  • detailed explanatory lessons
  • practice  questions following each lesson with immediate scoring and feedback
  • quizzes with immediate scoring and feedback
  • Practice Exams - timed exams, including both open and closed book exams, that give immediate scoring and solutions
  • Focus Report after each Practice Exam - this provides detailed feedback as to where more study may be needed
  • Study Plan - a detailed, systematic approach to combining the results of the Focused Report into the course lessons to make studying organized and productive

What is an Online Self-Study Course?

Our online self study courses are designed for the learner who is able to govern their schedule and work through the material primarily on their own. Course participants are fully supported by email, text, phone or web conferencing if they have questions or need assistance, and there is no limit as to how many times the instructor can be contacted.

The detailed lessons in the course are immediately available upon registration. They are available for 120 days, but extensions are available by contacting the instructor.

Participants will be guided through the various Codes and Recommended Practices by a number of tools including:

  • introductory videos
  • detailed explanatory lessons
  • practice  questions following each lesson with immediate scoring and feedback
  • quizzes with immediate scoring and feedback
  • Practice Exams - timed exams, including both open and closed book exams, that give immediate scoring and solutions
  • Focus Report after each Practice Exam - this provides detailed feedback as to where more study may be needed
  • Study Plan - a detailed, systematic approach to combining the results of the Focused Report into the course lessons to make studying organized and productive
