Training Spotlight: API 653 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector Training Course Options As discussed in last month’s newsletter, the API 653 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector certification is arguably the most difficult of the “Big Three” API certifications (API 510, API 570, API 653). Newsletter link is here: https://lnkd.in/gGDkNgbu (Subscribe, you will find it beneficial!) But the effort is worth it. If you are in the tank industry, it is likely this is something that is on your list to accomplish, as it is highly employable, functions across many jurisdictions, and is required by many employers who own, maintain, or repair storage tanks. This is a challenging certification that covers ten reference documents. (2 ASME Codes, 2 API Codes, 6 API Recommended Practices) Here at Kinetic, we offer 3 options to assist those preparing for this exam. - 6-day Live Webinar: https://lnkd.in/gE9qNWDj - Evening Classes: https://lnkd.in/gYt_driU (this course is closed now for the November window) - Self-Study: https://lnkd.in/gqfXiAUk To write this exam, you need to meet the experience requirements and get permission from API. The exam is written three times per year, and there is a deadline to apply for each exam window. Once you have permission to write, you need to book your actual examination appointment through the testing company Prometric. The next exam window for this examination is from November 1 – 22, 2024. Our preparation courses are scheduled to coincide with the exam window, so you arrive at your test date thoroughly prepared and ready to write!

Ask Me Anything (about exam prep) This is a feature in our newsletter. I will feature one question in each successive newsletter. This one is from the September edition. Link to read and subscribe is here: https://lnkd.in/gGDkNgbu One question I get asked a lot is: “How long should I study for?” There are two aspects to this question: 1) How long prior to the exam day do I need to study, and 2) How long should I study each day? Let's answer the first part. How long prior to the exam date should I begin to study? Answer: Most of us have a limited memory, and if we begin studying a subject many months before we need the knowledge in an exam, we will forget what we studied first and only retain the information that was studied closer to the exam date. However, if we leave our studying too late we risk being improperly prepared for the more detailed subjects and questions on the examination. The final challenge, especially in the broad knowledge requirements for the API ICP examinations, is that the information covered may differ from our daily work, jurisdiction, or personal experience. So, ideally, we need to hit a balance between beginning early enough to cover all the information, not forgetting what we have learned, and not leaving it too late to study effectively. We need time to address and become familiar with new concepts that we may not know at all before beginning our study. Now, it must be noted that everyone has different abilities, a different schedule, and different backgrounds and experiences, and different family responsibilities, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But there are some common points to building a balanced study schedule: - You need to cover the information in a logical sequence. - You need active learning, not just reading. - Regular reviews. - Study must be progressive and measured. - You must test your knowledge and fill in the gaps. Our courses will help you find this balance. There are three parts to our webinar courses. 1. A precourse that introduces the basics, provides active learning methods, and immediate feedback and scoring, along with instructor support. This is available up to 100 days prior to the main course dates. 2. The main course is 6 days in a live webinar via Zoom. Here, the concepts learned in the precourse are reviewed, expanded upon, and new, more difficult material introduced, with daily reviews and practice questions. 3. The last part of the course is the study portion, where course participants have access to multiple, timed, online examinations that are structured just like the real thing, and 3 practice exam reviews with the instructor. So, if you are a busy person, you will start towards the beginning of the 100 days prior to the webinar. If you have more time, you will start closer to the webinar dates. The second part of this question is answered in our newsletter. Check it out at the link above!

Interesting news from API today. They have cancelled the Remote Writing option for the API ICP examinations beginning in September 2024. Many people will be affected by this, but API states that everyone who was booked to write the API 510 in September using the Remote Writing option will get a seat in a test center. If you are in the situation of having to rebook your exam and are having trouble, call API at 1-877-562-5187 and ask to speak to the Exam Coordinator named Peter. Wish you the best in your rescheduling. #api510 #api570 #api653 #api1169 #api1184 #construction #naturalgas #oilindustry #training #pipelines #oilandgasindustry #inspector #pipeline #consultants #engineering #peakoil #oilgas #energy #onlinetraining #classroomtraining #hydrocarbons #webinar #onlinecourses #qaqc #maintenance #refinery #oilandgas #ndt #qualitycontrol #nationalboard

Our EVENING CLASS course for the API 570 exam prep starts tomorrow. We also have evening classes for the API 510 and API 653 courses. Why do we offer evening classes? Because evening classes open an opportunity for you if you work full time and cannot take the time off for a full week long course. Because you may need to be present for the family, but still want to progress in your opportunities and personal growth. Evening classes are a great way to save on costs, training time, and take advantage of an opportunity to achieve a valuable certification. Check our our evening classes here under Combination Courses: https://lnkd.in/g3weKmF #api510 #api570 #api653 #api1169 #api1184 #construction #naturalgas #oilindustry #training #pipelines #oilandgasindustry #inspector #pipeline #consultants #engineering #peakoil #oilgas #energy #onlinetraining #classroomtraining #hydrocarbons #webinar #onlinecourses #qaqc #maintenance #refinery #oilandgas #ndt #qualitycontrol #nationalboard
