API 570, Piping Inspector Certification Course

Objective of the Course:

The main emphasis of this programme is on promoting safety and maintaining optimal performance through the use of inspectors specialised in process piping systems. It provides the oil, gas and petrochemical industry with the assurance that piping inspectors trained and certified under this internationally recognised programme have the required knowledge and experience for the job in the field.

Course participants aspiring to be certified by American Petroleum Institute will undergo a rigorous programme to get them well versed with the various code books and standards, including API Standards that cover inspection, repair, alteration and rerating of in-service piping systems.

Who must attend:

Applicable to all personnel working in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry, and who are involved in the design, procurement, engineering construction, operation, maintenance and inspection of in-service piping systems and related facilities.
