API 1169 Exam Online Training Program.

What is the API 1169?

The API 1169 Pipeline Inspector certification program was developed in cooperation with industry experts in order to establish an industry-wide credential for the inspection of new construction of on-shore pipelines. This certification is open to qualified applicants who are seeking to become certified inspectors in API-1169: Recommended Practice for Basic Inspection Requirements - New Pipeline Construction. This certification is valid for a 3 year term.

The VTES™ API 1169 Training Program

This program has been developed to provide a thorough preparation for the API 1169 certification exam and offers multiple timed practice exams that includes multiple choice and code reference questions reflecting the API 1169 exam format. The VTES™ API 1169 exam prep course covers information related to the current API 1169 pipeline inspector certification program and delivers the material for study we believe to be the most important, including extensive reviews of API 1104 & API 1110, Z49.1, and more.

Does the API 1169 exam cover Canadian codes & references?

The API 1169 examination was originally developed based upon U.S. codes & reference standards. Recently, API has altered the exam to ask questions based off technical content that overlaps both U.S. & Canadian codes and standards. With this change, you will be able to reference either the U.S. or Canadian government references during your exam, as both are available to all test applicants.

"I do like the course and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about 1169 certification."

Kevin Hartman | API-1169 Prep (+10 Years Pipeline Experience)

"Personally I think it's the finest course regarding the amount of varied information because it forces them to think ahead on other operations that could be affected during pipeline construction based off what they do or what they don't do."
