  • understand what the API Body of Knowledge requires exam candidates to know;
  • efficiently reference the API and ASME Codes during the API ICP examination; and

Accreditation:
Each participant will receive a certificate with 13 Continuing Education Units accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

Who Should Attend:
This training course is intended for API 510 inspector examination candidates who have both inspection experience and experience working with the API and ASME Codes. Experience with API and ASME Codes is required during the supervision of inspection activities as described in the ICP Qualification Requirements. API ICP exam candidates are expected to have a broad base of general knowledge and experience covering all topics described in the API Body of Knowledge.

CASTI provides this course to help candidates prepare for the API exam. However, this course is a separate entity from the API examination. API requires that all exam candidates apply directly with API before September 15, 2010 in order to write the API 510 examination on December 1, 2010.

Topics:
API ICP exam candidates are expected to have a broad base of general knowledge and experience covering all topics described in the API Body of Knowledge. Topics listed in the API Body of Knowledge will be discussed as they pertain to the API Effectivity Sheet.

Required Code Documents:
Each student must supply the API and ASME Code documents referenced in the API 510 Effectivity Sheet. This sheet will be published by API at a later date. For more information, please contact API at 202-682-8064.

These API and ASME code documents can be purchased from CASTI (see below). Detailed course notebooks (including pre-study and post-study guides) will be provided to course registrants, making for valuable reference material.

Purchasing Code Documents:
The Code documents required for this course are available to CASTI course registrants at a special discounted package price. These documents are available as a package only, not on an individual document basis. Note: Only the specific portions of the Codes and standards documents required for the API exam are supplied in the document package.

CASTI Exam Preparation Guarantee Policy:
Customers who are unsuccessful in achieving a passing mark with the API 510 exam after taking the related CASTI course will be offered a 50% discount to retake the same course again, provided all of the following requirements are met:
  • All of the pre-classroom online modules were fully completed and all answers submitted online prior to the start of in-classroom training.
  • 100% attendance at the classroom training.
  • 100% attendance at the pre-exam review day.
  • All of the post-classroom training is fully completed and all answers submitted online prior to the exam date.
