The best Memphis Classroom Training

I just want to thank you guys for a great class and the time that you guys have put into making the study material more user friendly. I could tell that the instructor really cared if I passed and everyone for that matter. That means a lot! I told the instructor that even if I didn’t pass, I didn’t regret spending the money for the class. He was a great teacher. When you can teach from material like that and still keep it from being boring that’s an accomplishment. I have a few people on my job that are supposed to take y’all next class.  If you guys ever teach another type of class in-person, I will sign up immediately. Thanks again!

Tricky API 1169 exam

The wording was so tricky and almost incoherent on some of the questions it was frustrating. I’m glad I took the Velocity course going into this and I will recommend you for anyone I encounter in the future who will be taking the API 1169 exam.

Thank you

Thanks Matt, for all your hard work, appreciate what you do on teaching this class.

Highly recommend Velocity Training

Class training was what i needed. I've been told to NOT take any classes from others that have passed the API-1169 exam. I am glad I did not take their advice. One thing, as a CWI that helped me make my decision to take a class was the 40 PDH hours that will go towards my next 9-year renewal. The last day where the instructor went around the room putting students on spot was actually very helpful for me. I like where the instructor knew the material he was teaching very well. He could give you directions to the answers where he found them. Great class. Thanks for the knowledge and I will highly recommend VTES to other inspectors.

Great course!

Great course! Really learned and understood the material.

Impressive Classroom Training

STRONGLY recommend

Without going thru the training, being removed from classroom setting, as I have been. I feel that it would have been extremely hard to pass this test.

Great instructor and awesome tutorial.

I feel that the API 1169 training course has definitively given me the confidence and knowledge that I was lacking to successfully take and pass the test. I WILL be recommending Velocity Training to anyone that I find out that is going to take the test. I am very happy that I decided to take the training course.

Excellent course

It's one of the best courses I have attended.

I don't think I would have passed the exam without this class.

Class Far Exceed My Expectations

I would like to say that the presentation of the course has a lot to do with the acceptance of the material presented, Matt from the onset of the course showed and administrated his knowledge of the subject matter, which I must say would be nice if a lot more instructors would demonstrate. In my experience it was indeed a pleasure to be put through such a rigorous ordeal of intense bombardment of knowledge and still come out a sane man. Thanks to all for your patience and support. To the VTES training and MR. Matt, I would definitely recommend this training and under Matt's instruction. QA NACE 3 Inspector, at Sasol LCCP (Lake Charles Chemical Project) – 4 yrs.

Good Class -- Good Exercises -- Good Instructor

I started in this industry in 1971, in the NDE field and have worked pipeline, nuclear, aerospace, refineries, combine cycle simple cycle power-plants, and compressor stations, all in the inspection field. Before coming to this class everyone asks me why I was taking this course, that I was very knowledgeable in all aspects of pipeline inspection. Well at first, I thought well yea maybe I should just take the test, but I do not like tests, I am not a good test taker and did not want to spend weeks picking up the wrong book to study for something that I hear from different people, my test was all welding or my test was all environmental. I decided to take the class. From the first day of class, it was very refreshing, and I was going over things I have not used in years, in fact there has been a lot of revisions of some things. One big thing right away was the fact of keeping records for the life of the project or facility. It used to be 7 years, but I can remember back when a pipeline project was completed, they threw all the radiographs and reader sheets in the ditch with the backfill. Instructor Matt covered a lot of material in a short few days and going over material, spending extra time with students as needed, giving all 20 students in the class the confidence of not only passing the API-1169 exam, but to make them a better inspector. I always like to make sure that all my inspectors have the right tools (specs. codes, alignment sheets, permit books, etc.) to do their job and be part of the inspection team and the API-1169 certification opens their eyes of what they need. As long as there are instructors like Matt Wearsch instructing this course, there will be a lot better inspectors in the field. Thanks Matt!!! Chief Inspector Sunoco/ETC Mariner East Spread 3 – 48 yrs.

The instructor was great, very engaging, a wealth of knowledge.

Very Impressive Classroom Training

Excellent class. Instructor was very knowledgeable of the subject matter. Instructor was also very well versed in learning theory which set this class apart from similar test prep classes. Very well done and impressive.

Everyone Needs to Sign up for These Classes

This course compared to the other I had taken was the equivalent of driving a Pinto and then getting a Porsche. The material from the teacher to the computer modules was excellent. I feel I have been given the tools I need to successfully pass my exam. I will be telling others this is the course they need to sign up for. I think the time was right and the instructor offered to go above the time if anyone was lagging or needed help.

Great Training Experience

The Instructor was very knowledgeable API 1169 and provided a great training experience with amazing take home study and exam preparation practices. I felt the duration fell in line with my learning style

Classroom training helped a lot!

Teacher is very knowledgeable on all test questions

Great Class!

I learned a lot from this class. I thought I knew more than I did. By the end of the week I am confident that I can pass my test. The quizzes helped. The exercises and shortcut to navigate through the references helped. It's a ton of work in a short time. I wish it could have been longer. Thanks for all the help.

Thank you, Matt, for being an Instructor.

Matt was great with reference & knowledge of the course material. Helpful is covering & assisting on ways to look at the materials covered. I would recommend this lass to people looking to complete this API 1169 Course. Thank you, Matt, for being an Instructor.

Extremely engaging and knowledgeable instructor. Course material was very comprehensive.

I would definitely recommend velocity to others.

I came mainly for the course material and to get more familiar with overall pipeline work (apart from my background). I feel the course exceeded my expectations in this regard and although I do not necessarily need the certification, I am confident the course prepared me for the test. Because most other people in the class are dependent on passing the test, I appreciate the amount of time Matt took ensuring their exam readiness. Assuming that other courses are run similarly, I would definitely recommend velocity to others.

Enjoyed this class

I strongly enjoyed this course, Inspector was knowledgeable and gave us sufficient breaks and not so much homework to overload us like some courses given.

Great Class!

I thought this was a great preparation class for the API 1169 certification test, whether you are new to the industry or have many field years of experience. The instructor did a great job of helping understand the proper study skills and techniques needed for a successful outcome. There are many regulations and study documents and he did a great job of helping us understand how to read the test questions and determine which tool we need to use to be able to answer the questions correctly.

Very informative!

This course was extremely helpful, especially for someone with limited knowledge in the field of study. The instructor far surpassed the term "knowledgeable". His understanding with the material and references was far beyond expectation. This course has helped me retain far more knowledge that i assumed it would and i would feel confident in take my exam with the information and training that i have received.

Enjoyed the training and learned a lot.
