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

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.

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