Mike Capron I am a quality control inspector inside Chemical Plants and oil refineries. I have been working since 2009 doing new construction and turn-around projects.
Feel really confident!
I feel really confident in my ability to now take the API 1169 test due to my experience in attending the Velocity prep course. Matt was a great instructor that was very knowledgeable in the material needed to take the exam.

Class was clear and concise!
Class was clear and concise, to the point. Not too much classroom time that would over work a student.

I feel better prepared!
The classroom training, I feel is the best way to study for an exam. I had a great learning experience in class. The instructor, Matt, was very knowledgeable and patient with the students. I feel better prepared for the 1169 exam due to the classroom training. I will keep VTES in mind for all my additional future studies.

Knowledge of API 1169 is unmatched and very helpful.
Matt was very thorough in his instruction and made sure that each question was addressed. His knowledge of API 1169 is unmatched and very helpful in preparing attendees for the certification exam. I would recommend this training for anyone in leadership role or inspection role for the pipeline industry.

I feel confident!
Before I even started my in classroom training with an instructor I was taking the 90 day online class. I had already recommended VELOCITY to several people because of how good the material was. Once I arrived on Monday, August 13th for my class I started to understand the material better and how to use the references almost IMMEDIATELY. Matt is a very gifted and well educated instructor and was truly able to help me as well as the other students. He knew the material front and back and also had personal experiences in the field; using this knowledge he was able to help paint pictures for us to understand and grasp the material better. I'm taking my exam Friday, August 17th and I feel confident enough that I'll pass it.

I feel confident in sitting for the API 1169 exam after sitting through this class!
I feel confident in sitting for the API 1169 exam after sitting through this class. VTES has a high pass rate and I am confident I will pass the exam based on information and training presented. I did learn a lot of new information and found the class fun and entertaining, not the usual daily humdrum of repetition. Thanks Again for all the assistance.

Classroom training helped a lot!
I feel that the classroom training helps alot. There is alot of information to cover in a short period of time. The instructor helped us to utilize the resources available to us as study material and really helped with the navigation of the information (best way/place to find information). Coming from a survey background I had to take a different learning approach with the information but he really broke things down and helped with the transition. He keeps things interesting and fun which makes for easier retention of information.

“Very informative”
Just a quick email to let you know I received a Preliminary Pass. The Velocity training course was very informative as well as being able to utilize quizzes and take the practice test as many times as we needed and wanted. I must say the difference in the presentation of the quizzes and practice test versus the actual test were very different, Having to be very meticulous in reading the questions as to how to comfortably answer. So glad I received the Prelim Pass though. Have a great week!!
