1169 - In Depth & On track!

Awesome training that was in depth and on track. Great instructor.

Really like the pace!

I really like the ability to be able to go back over the lessons as many times as I want to. A few times I had questions but the chat feature in the courses let me get my answers quickly. I feel comfortable with taking my time instead of feeling all zombie-like after going to a short class plus it really helps because sometimes I don't want to study but know VTES gives me plenty of time. I am doing the 6 month course because I am taking my exam in April next year. Thanks!

API 1169 Course - Excellent!

Thank you to the Velocity training team for proving this excellent course. It helped a great deal with the exam preparation!

What you don't see going on

Its important everyone realize velocity actually is an evolution in progress and always on the hunt to give us a better, more pronounced educational platform to succeed and apply hidden skill sets we have but may not know we possess. They have people working on big things for you constantly. Existing programs get revamped and all the while their focus is laser sharp leaving no one person behind. The tools are there. They are there! The question is are you there? Defining difference in any approach to personal success is YOU! What Velocity does best in my opinion is enhance attributes we have but may not know how to articulate what is going on in our thought process. They add emphasis to "Grey areas of study" that we as students wouldn't be too excited about focusing on nor (let's be honest here) would want to be focused on and it's in that particular function they've proven to me time and time again they genuinely care, passion transformed! And what they put into teaching comes second nature to them. If you are as grateful as I am to Velocity I challenge you to go above and beyond in promoting them to the world and show your appreciation outside of the reviews. Be proactive in your promotion of the brand. The dedication. The care they handled you with but above all think of the career advancement you are on track for and know this---they were there for you and are connected at your hip! My reflections say we are the better for it-Ruben Quartana

Well worth the money!

As a current CWI and NACE I can appreciate this VTES 1169 on-line course. Very helpful training and practice tests. Well worth the money and excellent customer service. I hope they will offer similar training for other certs in the future!

Excellent!

I just finished the exam and have a preliminary pass. The study material covered in the VTES Course is excellent.

Instrumental in passing!

Thank you Velocity Training. You were instrumental in my passing the API 1169 testing. As someone who spent my entire life working other disciplines within the energy industry, this course from basics to studying for the exam was what made this possible for me. The Velocity employees I dealt with were knowledgeable, prompt and helpful.

Preparing To Take 1169 Exam then "Go With A Sure Thing" ( Velocity Prep Course)

I am endorsing the Velocity Prep Course for anyone wanting to take the 1169 Exam. They are a stop shop for anyone that is seriously considering taking this Exam. There pass rate is the highest in the Business and they are also the most affordable. I would not tell you this if were not absolutely the truth . I have never been a fan of 1169 but If you're going to take it then give yourself the best shot at it that you can, Go with Velocity, you won't be sorry.

API 1169

I got "Preliminary Pass". The exam was very diverse, questions from all aspects...As suggested I used the whole time allowed and wouldn't have minded a little more. I'm confident that people that try to pass without study/preparing won't likely pass. I would also say it will likely be very difficult without some practical experience... Good Luck to all, Thanks Velocity Training!!!

Passed!

I took the 1169 exam on Tuesday 7/19. I passed! Your training course was very helpful.

Ticket to Success!

I just finished the 1169 test and I have a preliminary pass score! The VTES prep course was the ticket for success! Many questions on our practice tests will help you pass this test, as well as the download materials, you just need to pay attention to the test center's wording. Knowing how to use the PDF information will help you (which VTES teaches you to do) and using the entire time allowed to review your test! If you have a shade of doubt, mark it, then review later. Thanks again VTES, your training course is the ticket to success!

Passed!

I found the Velocity training course very helpful, the API 1169 exam is a very challenging exam, thanks for the tips and advice!

API 1169 - In my own words

I wanted to say a few words of thanks to Velocity Training in preparing me for my API 1169 test and subsequent certification by going above and beyond that of normal training. They focused on the intangibles one normally wouldn't conceive to consider in educating on how to use the Code of Federal Regulations in all facets of the process. In my 19 years of oil & gas work i put alot of emphasis on education and the importance of seeking it out however i also have the pedigree and the resume to promote the experience needed to compliment educational certifications. Velocity harnessed my attributes and was able to "teach this old dog new tricks" when even i didn't believe that possible. In part because i'd gotten stubborn and have been thru the times when the industry has demanded and or dictated to us what we should and shouldn't have to validate us as inspectors. I stand behind Velocity's delivery method and ability to capture anybody's attention, enabling us in preparation for the actual exam. Some would argue you don't need a preparatory class to succeed in certification of the 1169. For some that is true however i cannot get past the retention required to soak it in and maintain it. Hard numbers suggest preparation is everything. To date Velocity has had 26 people thus far as of today who has given their results to Velocity and the numbers are 21 passed, 3 too close to call, and only 1 has failed. These are hard numbers. The numbers do not lie. Affordable, accessible, reliable, and spot on with their consistency and the level of commitment from their staff to get to us the right information without gouging anyone. They GAVE their students the required information needed to study and pass the exam. I dare say Velocity had a tougher exam than API did and i'm grateful for that as the benign questions i had to answer wouldn't have been answered correctly if not for the foresight from Velocity in focusing on the dust covered books regarding the codes and regs API could potentially ask a testing participant to take.

Valuable & Informative!

Training was very informative as well as valuable for getting ready for API 1169 pipeline inspector examination.
