This course and time is all you need to pass the API 1169 exam.
The course provided all material required to successfully complete the API 1169; The practice exams were especially helpful. The course covers alot of material, i have significant industry experience and education but would not have passed without this training.

Twenty four years of working in the utility construction field, seven of those years as an EI. I feel the course material and the instruction received in the class were of great value. I myself have learned a lot of information, including how to take the API-1169 exam. I feel the course is well worth the time and money, the instructor, (Matt) is of great value. His concern for each and every student is evident, very unique and professional teaching style. No student was left behind, I highly recommend the classroom training. Thank You!!!!! Passed
I felt the class was very informative and appreciated the work load to study the material. I enjoy the different types of study habits the instructor tried to offer to help with retention. I passed the exam.
Communication/ teaching style excellent, pushed us to learn the material and kept it interesting I passed!
It was very informational
I LIKED THE COURSE. THE INSTRUCTOR REALLY KNEW EVERYTHING
Preliminary pass. I wanted to say thank you for a great class. Your way of teaching helped me pass. Thank you once again.
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!
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.
Thanks Matt, for all your hard work, appreciate what you do on teaching this class.
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! Really learned and understood the material.
Very informative instructor and willing to work with students that needed help on computer. Thank you very much
THE INSTRUCTOR DID A GREAT JOB AND IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE API 1169. IT HELPS WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR WORKED IN THE TRADE.
It really helped me understand the material, and how to locate it in the Standards.
I just took the API 1169 prep class last week and passed the test on Friday. Matt's instruction with the prep was absolutely awesome and one of the best courses i have ever taken.
I just wanted to thank you again! I have told all the inspectors I know about you all!!!!

Extremely happy with the instructor in their teaching methods. I usually have a difficult time learning in classrooms, It was very easy to learn when teacher knows, wants you to learn, and succeed. I passed! Thanks!
The Instructor was very informative, patient and in tune with the class. This course helped me extremely in the resource department. It helped me to understand where to look up information and how to detect items in the correct forms.

I learned ALOT!

Thanks for the material! Top notch!
INSTRUCTOR DID A GREAT JOB.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and was able to bring "real life examples" into the classroom. I also appreciated the fact that he did not allow students to spend time telling "war stories". The class was straight forward, and he was able to help those individuals with little experience in the pipeline world.
AWESOME instructor. He takes his time and explains it in a way that everybody can understand. You can tell that he cares if people pass or not.
Excellent instructor. Gathered a lot of knowledge I feel will be valuable on the test.
The instructor and the course VTES provides is very informative and was extremely helpful in preparing me for the test. I would suggest those that sign up for the class be prepared to spend a lot of time studying. In my opinion excellent course.

The instructor did a very a good job teaching the class. Glad to have a instructor that has had field experience.
Good instructor.
I thought class was very strong and prepared me for test. Instructor was very thorough and very knowledgeable.
good job!!!!!
I felt the instructor was well versed on the subject and the class worth the time and money.
I enjoyed the course very much. I think without having this classroom led training, I would not have the same study habits and explanations for the material. Sr. Tech Specialist (Inspection Management) - 6 yrs.
Class was great. Commissioning Spec - 25 years
The instructor is very knowledgeable of all materials with a passion to teach material in a way that people retain and become better stewards of the profession of inspection. Pipeline Superintendent - 43 years in the regulated industry
Our instructor did a very swell job, he was very helpful to answer any question myself or others had about question pertaining to the study document or past experience. He was very good at giving analogies to help break down the understanding. Would recommend everyone to take the practice exam
Great class. The instructor was a wealth of knowledge.
Look forward to taking the test and passing. Thanks for the help
All Good!
Everything about the class was helpful and informative.
It was a lot of information in just a few days, but the instructor was very helpful. I feel confident that I can pass after taking this class.

Excellent course, looking forward to taking the exam!
Instructors insight on test questions asked and experience with taking the test is greatly appreciated!!!
Great class. Extremely helpful.
The instructor is a wonderful, with extensive knowledge of the content and how to prepare for the exam. He truly cares that his students are learning material in a useful manner and is eager to help those who are struggling. Even when asked about questions outside the body of knowledge, the instructor uses his experience to help students understand. He is kind, courteous, and professional.
Good training, a very good instructor.
The course content was good and the exam taking techniques discussed were very helpful.
What made the course a real benefit was the knowledge of the instructor and the study material.
Class and instructor were just plain awesome. It was the perfect amount of joking around and professionalism to make the class fun but also get the point across of what’s needed to be known to be successful on the exam.

Excellent course. well delivered. Good mix of instruction and knowledge testing
Instructor was excellent
Great class, good prep for the certification.
The instructor was very knowledgeable on the material.
Good format. Instructor was good. Course was good prep to take test.
The instructor was very well prepared, demonstrated tons of industry knowledge and experience. He also gave us ample breaks and time to finish the quizzes and homework.
Good presentation skills and thorough knowledge of material. I really enjoyed that it was not just slide reading and was interactive with quizzes and learning modules.
I thought the instructor was knowledgeable and personable and took time to get to know each of us and to address our questions and concerns.
The course and classroom training experience were great it was very informative, and all questions were answered. I will recommend this course to anyone interested in the 1169 certification
The hands-on aspect of the course is most beneficial. Learning to access the regulations quickly was a great help.
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. The instructor was very helpful with total knowledge of information and building confidence with test material. I would STRONGLY recommend this to anyone that is planning to take the API 1169. Great instructor and awesome tutorial.
It showed me how to approach the available reference material in a manner that made it less intimidating. The knowledge of actual exam conditions is invaluable. The study information is broken down to the most important information needed to pass the test and be knowledgeable on the process.
It has been a great experience being in the classroom setting taking the exam preparation course! I think it does help more than the online studying!!!
The instructor is an excellent instructor and cares for each of his students in helping them pass the 1169 test. I was pleased with what I learned about pipelines during the class time even if I wasn't doing it to be able to pass the test.
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.
It's one of the best courses I have attended.
The classroom setting is by far the best way to learn the material due to the instructor being able to stop and explain in detail. having classroom discussion is also a way to retain and learn from others. Overall my experience was great.
All the info that was given to me in the class I found very useful.
The Course was set up very well, materials were covered in an open class environment. I feel this class should be attended by all who are planning to sit for the API 1169 exam.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Was never a dull moment in his classroom which enabled all students to take this seriously but at the same time relax!
The instructor was very knowledgeable about the content and presented the material in a way that was easy to retain and reference.
GREAT CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE, INSTRUCTOR WAS VERY HANDS-ON AND FULL OF KNOWLEDGE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE WANTING TO BE A BETTER PIPELINE INSPECTOR OR JUST TO BE A BETTER EMPLOYEE IN THE FIELD.
The class brought awareness to where to find the regulations for different construction related activities.
Informative class, knowledgeable instructor.
The instructor exhibited in-depth knowledge of the course material and presented a well-organized presentation. He took time to explain topics that were hard for some to grasp and did it in non-condescending matter. I'm confident I now have the ability to take and pass the API 1169 exam.
Instructor created an atmosphere that helped to learn and maintain the material.
I got a preliminary pass. Your class was very helpful, and I will recommend to anyone wanting to pursue the API 1169 certification.
The class was very well laid out, the instructor was great.
Very informative and the instructor was thorough covering the material discussed.
The instructor was very engaging. The material is quite dense, but he did a very good job of maintaining the studious environment and maintain the concentration of the students. He was extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. Overall this was a very helpful course and would be highly recommended for anyone planning to take the API 1169 exam.
Great prep course....understand much more about what to expect from the test
Took the API 1169 today and got a preliminary pass. Just wanted to say thank you for the course. You all have done a great job with prep course.
I don't think I would have passed the exam without this class.
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.
it was informative 510/570 inspector – 6 yrs.
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.
I think it's all on point couldn't really ask for anything better! CWI Inspector – 9 yrs.
He was an awesome instructor. I was unable to pass API 1169 due to not knowing what material to study before taking this class. He gave material and his teaching abilities helped me retain a lot of information. Coating Inspector – 8 yrs.
I enjoyed the class. it was very informative. The whole experience, including the hotel, gets an A+ rating from me. Matt is AWESOME! COATING INSPECTOR – 7 yrs.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained the test where you could understand and very helpful in using the computer. ASSISTANT CHIEF INSPECTOR – 8 yrs.
The class taught me a lot about inspection and hope I can learn all I need to know. The instructor did a great job. Teamster - 12 years in pipeline industrial
The instructor is very good at presenting the material. When completed, we all walk away with a better understanding, of what is expected of us as Utility Inspectors. 3rd Party Utility Inspector – 10+ yrs.
Very informative. Well laid out and instructor very knowledgeable. ROW Agent – 12 yrs.
Class was interactive and engaging. Instructor had a wealth of knowledge I wish that I had at this moment. lol Thank you Matt!!!! CWI, Instrument Tech, BTJ Steam fitter – 34 yrs.
The Instructor was very helpful as well as knowledgeable of the test and materials. All in all was a good experience for me to take this class and learn more about referencing. Utility Inspector – 8 yrs.
Instructor had great knowledge of the course. Environmental Inspector – 14 yrs.
Great class and teacher Coating Inspector/ROW Supervisor – 14yrs.
Instructor stuck to the plan of training for the test. He did not run of course with personal stories unless it was related to the class. The expense and time I put into this class was worth it. Chief Inspector – 23 yrs.
This class was very helpful, and I would refer to other people.
Hands on use to the references was a real plus in understanding the references and what are in them. Focus on how to take the test with a "plan" has instill confidence.
The instructor did a great job getting the information across to all of us. Making us feel comfortable and positive on taking this exam. I think this class was done in a professional and timely manner covering all the basis needed to pass the test.
Ihe instruction was very good. The instructor took the time to make sure every student was comfortable in the material. Great class. I liked the structure of this class. It worked for my learning style very well.
The instructors style of teaching was perfect for our class was able to make sure we all knew how to look up and retain all learning material. Would highly recommend using this training class and teacher for future classes with our company. I feel fully ready to take and pass this test with some more studying in the areas that this training showed that I was deficient in.
Having been in the industry for 20yrs, I have been through a lot of training. This has got to be the best structured training I have ever been through and the instructor is top notch. Material and instruction were on point.
The class instruction and class material were presented in a very professional manner.
The instructor was great at picking up on individual needs and suggesting ways to address those needs. Very knowledgeable.
The instructor knew the material in and out. The style of presenting was the right mixture of learning and then testing that teachings.
The instructor was great, very engaging, a wealth of knowledge.
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.
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.
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
Teacher is very knowledgeable on all test questions
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.
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 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.
Matt was awesome! Took the time to make sure everyone understood the material
Great course! Great teacher! Left me highly confident in my abilities to complete the API 1169 without fear of failing miserably. Big Thanks to Matt the Velocity team!
Great course! Great teacher! Left me highly confident in my abilities to complete the API 1169 without fear of failing miserably. Big Thanks to Matt the Velocity team!
Great instructor and will be recommending this course for many others.
Thank you for your support! You guys were such great help. I'm 100% satisfied and happy with your course you guys provided.
I've had many instructors of 39 yrs of service in the Houston Texas Fire Dept, Nace certification, and this instructor not only instruct, but teaches a way you can understand the material, he was very knowledgeable of the course material
I would recommend this classroom training to everyone.
HE DID A GREAT JOB ON MAKING SURE EACH AND EVERYONE OF US UNDERSTOOD HOW TO REFERENCE AN ALSO USE COMMON SENSE TEACHING US TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE CLASS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SET MY EXAM DATE BEFORE THUR MY OWN FAULT BUT MATT WALKED ME THROUGH IT AFTER CLASS WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A EARLIER OPEN DATE BUT I WILL BE FINE THANKS FOR THE COURSE AN THE KNOWLEDGE.
I found this course to be very informative. The instructor did an excellent job keeping me focused on the subject at hand.
Instructor took time to accurately explain and answer every question asked patiently.
Definitely gave me the confidence to take the API 1169 test. I learned a lot.
I strongly recommend the API 1169 study course if you want to pass test on first time around, very educational, all questions answered and beyond Matt showed a lot of professionalism his duties as a training instructor.
Instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable. I feel that this class well prepared me for the test.
Course was great, lots of information and Matt was very informative.
The instructor was very knowledgeable in the subjects that pertained to the 1169. I feel confident taking the exam after attending 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.
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.
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.
Great Instructor and course!
Very good and very knowledgeable
Enjoyed the class as well as you can for 4 days of cramming all this information in my pea size brain but appreciated Matt's patients ! He was very helpful in training me thanks Steven Sumner GUNTUCKY !!!!!!!
Believe the course will help pass the API 1169 test.
I was reluctant on taking the training class. I found my instruction to be very knowledgeable and had a way to of delivering the material that actually made it fun. He gave good test suggestions as well as studying practices.
This was an exceptional course. I have been through many and this material was true to the subject matter and presented in a way that i had no issues understanding and retaining. The test taking tips were spot on for a timed multiple choice test.
Matt did an exceptional job in his presentation of all class materials; he was very knowledgeable of where the information was in all the reference material from the CFR's
Classroom was really good
The classroom tests were beneficial, everything was good.
Thought the class was helpful and very informative. The instructor had a very strong knowledge of the material. Would recommend the class to anyone taking the 1169.
Very knowledgeable on API 1169 and associated documents. Easy to understand. Very Helpful if one did not understand a section of material.
Matt has a lot of knowledge of the course, Very interesting class good learning atmosphere.
I appreciate the patience that was shown to each individual student, i felt that the instructor really cared about the success of each student. I felt that the instructor was reassuring to all of the students, which was very helpful because it created a calming atmosphere, and it instilled confidence in each of us.
Overall great experience! Quality of instruction was excellent. Would definitely recommend to others.
Great course. I was well prepared.
Good Job Matt. Thank for the Help!!!
I think Matt was a great instructor. He gave us the knowledge that he had in a way that we could understand. Classroom discussion was excellent also.
Instructor knowledge the best i have ever seen.
Enjoyed Matts sense of humor and his knowledge of the course subject. I will definitely recommend Velocity to everyone.
Matt is very knowledgeable!!! Great Class!!
He made sure that everyone understood or at least made the attempt. He knew the subject matter well and tried to get the important points across. He and questions to make sure he was getting thought to us . I think he did well.
Really enjoyed the classroom setting, instructor is very knowledgeable and would explain things in a way one could grasp the questions better.
The class was very helpful. The instructor Matt keep things entertaining while also make sure that the tools needed to pass the test were instilled into us. great class and great instructor.
Very pleased with class. Went into class very nervous & unprepared to take the upcoming exam. Instructor has broken down material exceptionally well. Looking forward to taking the exam & feel confident & prepared.
Matt was an awesome teacher. His knowledge base of the material was right on point. I'm still very nervous test taker, but with his guidance and all of the practice material I feel I have a better idea of what to expect. I will highly recommend this course to anyone.
Classroom course is the best way to approach this certification. I don't think anyone would do as well on the actual test if they studied on their own or used online course. The trainer is well versed in all aspects of the API 1169 system and helped in so many ways to make me understand what needs to be remembered and where to go to find the answers.
Instructor was very informative.
The classroom training helps in retaining the information provided
I learned a lot of information as well as techniques and knowledge on where to find the information I need. Matt is a man who is very knowledgeable on the course information.
Good job. I learned a lot. The classroom style was great for me.
I believe the class is well worth the time. The course teaches you how to use available references for the test. The class size I attended was small and I believe that helped a few in the classroom.
Great practice material that simulates the real test. Change nothing. Seems to be the best possible strategy.
Instructor was very helpful.
I Loved IT! :) No! And I wouldn’t change the course at all
It was a great class!
The course materials and instructor was very informative and extremely helpful in helping me to understand the basics of pipeline construction.
The class was one of the best classes ever. With one of the best knowledgeable instructors I have had.
I enjoyed the class and have learned alot.....
I feel confident in sitting for the API 1169 exam after sitting through this class. VTES has a high pass rate and I am confident I will pass the exam based on information and training presented. I did learn a lot of new information and found the class fun and entertaining, not the usual daily humdrum of repetition. Thanks Again for all the assistance.
Matt did an awesome job, very well prepared in the training content and kelp the class involved. Thanks
Class was clear and concise, to the point. Not too much classroom time that would over work a student.
Instructor was very helpful in explaining the documentation that was presented in class, also made class fun not boring. Will highly recommend class to co-workers and friends.
This class was very helpful and very intense. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable.
I feel that the classroom training helps alot. There is alot of information to cover in a short period of time. The instructor helped us to utilize the resources available to us as study material and really helped with the navigation of the information (best way/place to find information). Coming from a survey background I had to take a different learning approach with the information but he really broke things down and helped with the transition. He keeps things interesting and fun which makes for easier retention of information.
Before I even started my in classroom training with an instructor I was taking the 90 day online class. I had already recommended VELOCITY to several people because of how good the material was. Once I arrived on Monday, August 13th for my class I started to understand the material better and how to use the references almost IMMEDIATELY. Matt is a very gifted and well educated instructor and was truly able to help me as well as the other students. He knew the material front and back and also had personal experiences in the field; using this knowledge he was able to help paint pictures for us to understand and grasp the material better. I'm taking my exam Friday, August 17th and I feel confident enough that I'll pass it.
Matt was very thorough in his instruction and made sure that each question was addressed. His knowledge of API 1169 is unmatched and very helpful in preparing attendees for the certification exam. I would recommend this training for anyone in leadership role or inspection role for the pipeline industry.
The classroom training, I feel is the best way to study for an exam. I had a great learning experience in class. The instructor, Matt, was very knowledgeable and patient with the students. I feel better prepared for the 1169 exam due to the classroom training. I will keep VTES in mind for all my additional future studies.
Very informative.
THIS CLASS ROOM COURSE AND TRAINING WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE I TOOK MY CWI COURSE WITH REAL EDUCATION. MATT THE INSTRUCTOR DID AN AWESOME JOB AND WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE MATERIAL AND DID A GREAT JOB AT MAKING SURE THAT EACH AND EVERY STUDENT UNDERSTOOD ALL MATERIAL. THANKS SO MUCH I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GET ANY CERTIFICATIONS.
The instructor was awesome, but the room was too cold. 2x thumbs up!
I feel really confident in my ability to now take the API 1169 test due to my experience in attending the Velocity prep course. Matt was a great instructor that was very knowledgeable in the material needed to take the exam.
I enjoyed the classes more knowledge gained good job Matt.
Thanks to Velocity Online Training. It really helped me a lot in passing the examinations.
The velocity course was a good use of my time and money. Thank you for your help an insight
The instructor worked well to help those who needed extra help.
I WAS ABLE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO FIND THE MATERIAL TO STUDY.
It was a great experience for me to take these classes and get a better insight on the API 1169. Matt was very helpful in teaching me, I feel more confident and prepared for my API 1169. Thank You Matt for all you have done to help me.
Matt displayed competent knowledge of the material. He was excellent, and I would recommend this training to others.
I would say that the classroom and training experience was well worth the price of the course. The instructor was full of information and very helpful on understanding on finding information and how to use the skills needed.
Matt was great and delivered the material in an interesting and comfortable manner. I would strongly recommend this class to others.
Matt is very thorough in discussing material that may appear on the test. And very informative of how to search the documents.
Good course. Instructor was very knowledgeable and willing to help everyone.
I enjoyed the class. Without the class, I am sure I could not pass the test.
The Course helped extremely, the instructor was patient with all the students to ensure the knowledge was learned by each of the students. I have taken 2 of the online courses and the in-class course was a lot more hands-on and one on one time if needed, if weaker in on subject more than another. I would highly recommend this class to any inspectors or anyone in the position to need to know this knowledge or how to prepare for this API 1169 exam. This is the ONLY way to go!
Very helpful course and training. Highly recommend the class.
Very impressed with Velocity Training. Matt took the time to answer and discuss every question he was asked. Feel much more confident about taking the API 1169. Thank You Matt!
I have enjoyed the classroom training. The instructor was very upbeat. I learned a lot and I would recommend this class to anyone.
The class was everything that I was hoping it would be after reading all reviews online. Definitely held up to its expectations. I especially liked the size of our class. It gave us more individual time to have 1 on 1 conversations about any difficulties understanding sections of the material.
I feel very confident that I will do well on the test.
The class was very informative & well prepared. The instructor was very educated & the overall experience was great. Learned a lot.
This was a great course and helped me very much due to the fact I have no pipeline experience. Helped me understand pipeline inspector responsibility's.
I HAVE ENJOYED THIS TRAINING PROGRAM. THE INSTRUCTOR MATT WAS PROFESSIONAL IN EVERY WAY. COMPARED TO OTHER API, AWS AND ASNT TRAINING COURSES I HAVE TAKEN, MY EXPERIENCE AT VTES HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. I FEEL CONFIDENT GOING INTO THE TEST. I WILL BE LEAVING A BETTER AND MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE PIPELINE INSPECTOR FOR SURE. THANKS.
MATT DID A GREAT JOB AT INSTRUCTING COURSE. ASSISTED ME VERY WELL
Our instructor Matt was very helpful, and he made me think outside of my comfort zone and his training method helped me understand more about this program. It was by far the best classroom training I have been in.
Matt Was a great instructor and took his time with the class
Matt did a fantastic job of presenting the course material and preparing us for the exam. He is very professional and knowledgeable and represented your organization well. You should be proud of him!!!
Matt was very friendly and informative. I was very unsure about taking the API 1169 exam, but I feel more confident after taking this course. Matt was awesome and really got everyone involved with the course material.
I HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE. FEELING CONFIDENT GOING INTO THE TEST BEING INFORMED OF ELIMINATION TECHNIQUES, NAVIGATION THROUGHOUT ALL DOCUMENTS, AND SO MUCH MORE. I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT PUT INTO THE CLASS FOR OUR LEANING BENEFIT. IT IS OBVIOUS MATT CARES ABOUT EACH INDIVIDUAL AND GOES THE EXTRA MILE TO ENSURE EACH STUDENT IS CONFIDENT WITH THE MATERIAL. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS (MATT) AS THE WAY TO GO!
The instructor Matt did a fabulous job of conducting the class. I feel that I have received a great deal of 1169 information. Thank you Matt.
Thanks! Preliminary pass! I was nervous! I followed training recommendations, I did fine. I felt great on 80 quest, marked 20 for more review.
It has been a great experience been inside class room taking the exam preparation course! I think it does helps more than the online studying!!!
Matt is an excellent instructor and cares for each of his students in helping them pass the 1169 test. I was pleased with what I learned about pipelines during the class time even if I wasn't doing it to be able to pass the test.
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.
I have really enjoyed this class. I have already recommended 2 friends to the class.
The course and classroom training experience were great it was very informative, and all questions were answered. I will recommend this course to anyone interested in the 1169 certification.
The hands-on aspect of the course is most beneficial. Learning to access the regulations quickly was a great help.
Without going thru the training, being removed from class room setting, as I have been. I feel that it would have been extremely hard to pass this test. Matt was very helpful with total knowledge of information and building confidence with test material. I would STRONGLY recommend this to anyone that is planning to take the API 1169. Great instructor and awesome tutorial.
It showed me how to approach the available reference material in a manner that made it less intimidating. The knowledge of actual exam conditions is invaluable. The study information is broken down to the most important information needed to pass the test and be knowledgeable on the process.
The classroom setting is by far the best way to learn the material due to the instructor being able to stop and explain in detail. Having classroom discussion is also a way to retain and learn from others. Overall my experience was great.
Excellent course! A white board was missing but it's one of the best courses I have attended. Congratulations!
Class has opened my eyes, I am looking forward to taking the 1169 and feel that Matt has helped in both the knowledge and right frame of mind for taking this exam.
Matt was extremely helpful and his experience and knowledge of the testing procedures as well as all facets of the material from the regulations is amazing.
The classroom lessen were very good. Matt was the best!!
I am glad I decided to take the API 1169 course. I have a lot more insight to what an inspector really is all about.
Very helpful.
Enjoyed the class and will recommend it to anyone preparing to take the API 1169 exam.
It was a fine course. I learned what was going to be on the exam and what to study.
Mr. Matt is a AWESOME instructor that makes the class fun, to the point that I wanted to absorb all the information that he was teaching. I have taken several in classroom training's and this one has been the most enjoyable. I have already recommended Velocity to my coworkers and friends who are pursuing a API 1169 certification preparatory class. THANKS, Lynn Unger
Matt was excellent. I felt he really cared about my training. He is very knowledgeable on all parts of the API 1169.
The course was very helpful. The assistance with learning how to navigate the material available for reference was invaluable. The assistance with learning what to expect at the testing center was helpful as well.
Very good class, very informative.
I learned quite a bit from Mr. Matt as he showed a ton of knowledge from API material to all the regulations and terms. He made the classroom experience really laid back and didn't make anyone feel embarrassed to ask any questions. He treated everyone with the upmost respect and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to take a course for the 1169 test.
The training was very helpful. The material and feedback covered was helpful in retaining the information that was gone over during the class. The modules were very helpful in understanding the processes, great for listening to at night for extra homework. For the people that didn't get signed up for the test window during the class window, the modules need to be available longer for study references. Overall great class.
This course was very informative.
Matt has good understanding of the subject, and also makes every effort to connect with the individuals in the class. I noticed this on the first hour of the first class session, when Matt learned each student’s name and continued to use first names the entire course. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to participate in this training.
I feel like the training did a good job of teaching the class the appropriate way to take the API 1169 exam. Understanding the Body of Knowledge is important, but it is also important to know which resources will be available during the exam, and what resources to consult for specific questions.
A lot to learn in 3 days!
Good review and refresher of the industry standards. I have forgotten more than I remember.
I feel the course was very informative and instructor did excellent job interacting with class and covering required material.
Thank you! I would have never passed it if it wasn't for the study materials you provided.
Very educational, lot to absorb but we had a great teacher, thank you.
Good Class.
Matt was very knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to attend training with. One of the best Instructors I've taken with any Certification course. GREAT JOB!
Matt was very knowledgeable and had a teacher’s heart. Was patient with those (me) who struggled with some of the material covered and was very engaging. Kudos for memorizing every student's name, this enabled him to better interact and relate to the class.
This class is a must for me to be able to pass.
This class was very helpful for studying for the API 1169 test. The instructor was very knowledgeable about what he was teaching. The instructor had a good sense of humor and made the class enjoyable.
For being as intense as it was, as it had to be, the training was methodical and thoughtful and very well structured. As mentioned, I’ll definitely recommend VTES to others. Regarding the instructor, Matt was great -- kept code interesting, endured to some light-hearted ridicule and grief, and certainly returned the challenges. He was appreciated by all of the students.
Instructor was cool and had a great way of making sure we had the knowledge we needed.
It was very informative. The instructor was very knowledgeable.
Instructor worked with us personally and helped boost my confidence.
Very knowledgeable and professional presentation. Instructor took the time to answer all questions and explain discrepancies. As enjoyable of a class as I have attended.
This class is clearly designed to help understand the criteria of the testing. In addition, it highlighted areas that each inspector could identify as a lack of knowledge at a personal level. This information will no doubt benefit our Companies pursuit of due diligence and excellence in the construction world. The take away is knowledge and learning of rules and Regulations the side effect is the team will excel on test day. Great class!
Class was a great help, made me feel more confident in taking the test.
The class and classroom were great, I got a lot out of the class and Matt was great helping me get to where I needed to be!!!!!
Over all the class helped me understand guidelines that must be followed in the oil industry. Trying to understand and follow some the train of thought on how questions were developed on the test was extremely frustrating. This course hopefully will allow me to be successful on test day. Our instructor overall was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and tried to give us hints on how to prepare for test day.
Before this class I felt very stressed and doubtful of passing the test. With Matts help, I feel that I can walk in knowing what to expect, how to use my references, and my eyes were opened to great resources that I wasn't aware of before. I highly recommend this prep course.
Once you sit in the class room you realize that the text isn’t about your experience out in the field, I am glad I took this class.
The class was well organized with open forum. The amount of material was overwhelming at times. Matt did a great job as an instructor and no way I would try taking the 1169 without the class. Confident I can Pass!!
The class is very helpful and has prepared me for the 1169 test.
Video modules are excellent!
Exactly what I need it!!! I think, and I am very sure we will all pass!! Thanks a lot.... regards
Very beneficial learning experience. I came into this not really knowing if I could pass the 1169. I have learned a lot and go for my test tomorrow with the utmost confidence of success.
Very informative, good presentation.
Was very helpful!!! Thanks
Great class and very informative on codes and locating material on computer.
I thought it was good. The class needs to be offered in all states.
I learned a lot and the class helped tremendously with being able to navigate through the test.
Strongly challenged, needed it, made me aware of my short comings. Had to look over work harder on material.
Great class
Was a great class. Would highly recommend this to anyone. I feel confident about passing my exam after going through this course.
If it wasn’t for Matt I don't think my chances would have been that good. He keeps the class fun and going. He gives you the information that is needed and gives you another way to look at all you study material. If you're looking for a class, this is it. Thanks
Great class highly recommend
ITS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE THE COURSE.
I learned a lot in a short time
I now feel very confident in taking the 1169 test, just know how to navigate through all the material is going to help. The instructor very patient and knowledgeable, he took as much time as needed to answer all questions, while staying on task.
The in-depth strong vocabulary words similar to the AWS CWI course. Once I complete this course one more time in the next 7 days I should have no problems or hang-ups on my test that I will be taking in 10 days. Thanks VTES for the help.
I wasn't sure what to expect. I have 22 years’ experience in the field and I have the API 1104. However, I don't believe I would have passed this test without the class. I am very confident that I now possess the tools necessary to pass.
I learned a lot and the class helped tremendously with being able to navigate through the test.
Very helpful.
Will be referring velocity training to others interested in taking the 1169 exam
If it wasn’t for Matt I don't think my chances would have been that good. He keeps the class fun and going. He gives you the information that is needed and gives you another way to look at all you study material. If you're looking for a class, this is it. Thanks
I was nervous about taking this test at first due to stories I've heard about the test. However, after this classroom course and a few more days before test day, I feel that I am comfortable with taking the exam.
The class was enjoyable, felt comfortable in asking instructor questions regarding materials. Quizzes & modules were helpful for retention.
The test really helped. Matt was good at showing us how to look up codes.
I enjoyed the class and the instructor very much!
Very pleased with the class and the instructor.
I was very impressed with the course work. I am very confident I will pass the actual exam on Jan 29.
The class was very well laid out, the instructor was great.
Matt's a great great instructor!

From start to finish the instructor was professional, informative and accessible. This course has a wide variety of information, the presentation was honestly the best I have ever had. Topics of conversation remained class topic based, the instructor seemed to understand each individual's weaknesses, then would curb his training direction to ensure all questions were answered in a manner easily understandable. The class had humor, interaction and built my confidence in preparation for test day. (Memphis, TN Classroom)
Everything good. A lot of help. Matt is a good instructor. (Memphis, TN Classroom)

Matt exhibited in-depth knowledge of the course material and presented a well-organized presentation.

I'm confident I now have the ability to take and pass the API 1169 exam.(Oklahoma City, OK Classroom)
Great prep course.....understand much more about what to expect from test if I choose to move forward with the exam. I come from the project management side of pipeline and would recommend Velocity Training to others to prepare for the API 1169 exam.
Informative class, knowledgeable instructor. Very useful. I am an engineer with 5 years experience and I learned a lot in this classroom.
The computer-based quizzes helped with retention of the classroom material and the instructor took the time to ensure all students understood the material. The instructor created an atmosphere that helped to learn and maintain the material. I am a pipeline inspector with 38 years of experience.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Was never a dull moment in his classroom which enabled all students to take this serious but at the same time relax! (LGE-KU Classroom)
The class brought awareness to where to find the regulations for different construction related activities.(LGE-KU Classroom)

I wanted to let you know that I got a preliminary Pass on my 1169 this morning. I wanted to thank Velocity for the program as it was a great help with the test. I have told all my colleagues that it is worth it to use your system.
Very informative, constructive and relieved any doubt about the API Certification process. Matt was very well informed and had great overall knowledge of the material.
API 1169 Prep Course - VTES has a well put together course with professional instructors that take the time to make sure material is delivered in a way that easy to retain and relevant. The instructor (Matt) had alot of industry knowledge and experience that made his delivery of course material bang on! Also I passed the test.
Instructor rating - 5 starsVenue rating - 5 stars I feel that the online training modules helped with retention of the classroom material and I think that the instructor took the time to ensure all students understood the material. I would recommend Velocity Training to others to prepare for the API 1169 exam.
I feel that taking the in person training from Velocity was a great experience for me.The instructor took his time explaining the material and went over anything that was needed before proceeding with the course. In my opinion it was the best decision i could have made for myself versus taking an online course. Our instructor was very knowledgeable in the 1169 course and went above and beyond to prepare me for my exam. Hats off to Matt - awesome instructor and very patient with the class it was an awesome experience i would and have recommended the in person course to many of my fellow inspectors. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just passed my 1169 today with the help of Velocity Training. I will recommend this training to anyone taking the exam.Thanks
Best! I recently passed the API 1169 with the help of Velocity Training's course. I found it excellent and extremely well presented and the fact I had access to it at any time was very convenient. I have no trouble recommending it to anybody thinking of taking it. Best wishes, Noel
I'd like to give a huge shout out to Velocity Training! Not only is their API 1169 prep course the best out there, they're a great company. I wouldn't recommend wasting money anywhere else. If you want top notch quality training from an awesome company, call Velocity...it's that simple!
A morning shout out to Velocity Training. I'm not sure where yall have been my whole life, but I need folks like you around me. A reputation for high quality courses, and proof positive in my own experience the most caring and generous folks in any business in any industry. I think Dustin Marshall - Veteran will agree with me on that. Thanks especially to Jessica Krueger, you made my day in one thread of messages this morning. You joined a good team BRET BOLLICH. I'll be seeing more of you all at Velocity. Keep being great.
Thanks for doing such a good job creating this course.I personally want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication.I received a preliminary Pass. Thanks so much for the exceptional training!!!(Union Gas/Spectra Energy)
I would like to inform you that I passed the API 1169 Pipeline Construction Inspector exam yesterday. Thank you Rob for planning, organizing and scheduling an effective and positive results-producing training event at Union Gas in Chatham, Ontario. I also would like to thank our instructor for a well-prepared and delivered training session, and for his efficient, professional and friendly leadership during the training.
The one I used great study guide, videos and extra material. I recommend this to everybody.
I recently took the In Person API 1169 Pre Course in Beaumont, Tx. I took the API 1169 test one week later and passed with flying colors. If your concerned about passing dont chance it. Go into the test knowing your going to pass! Thanks for prepairing me Velocity, Chad
A big thanks to Jessica who helped me immensely whenever I called with a question. It was so nice being able to talk to a real person and get issues resolved. What a blessing.
I would like to take a moment to thank our instructor. He did an amazing job with this prep course. I learned so much, he is a great instructor. I would highly reccomend this course, to anyone interested. Velocity provided us a very hands on instructor, that is accessible step by step to support you any way possible!
I would highly recommend this class. Thanks to our instructor in Denver Colorado for all your help in the class and outside the class with all my questions..I learned alot. Oh yeah I passed the test today!!! Thanks again.
Thank you for your efforts by all staff. At first glance, considering all the codes and material that need to be reviewed , it can seem a bit over whelming, but you kept it in a methodical approach. Thank you!
The classroom training was good, very informative exactly what I expected....Thanks again.
I truly recommend this class. We had a great instructor (Beaumont, TX class) and the information he focused on helped tremendously when I took my test. Oh, by the way, I passed. If you call, ask for Jessica (a manager) and tell them I sent ya.
I received a preliminary pass on my exam. Thank you!
Training was excellent! I received a preliminary pass after the test 1/30/17. Velocity provided an " excellent " instructor and Jessica (the account manager) was very helpful with any questions or concerns.
I took the test on November 14th and passed. I feel the course helped me tremendously!
I got a preliminary pass. I honestly don't think I would have passed without your training! Thank you.
Balancing a heavy workload (70 hrs/week), and studying entire Codes and Standards for a certification exam don't mix. The VTES API 1169 Prep Course afforded me the option to study at my own pace, according to down times in my schedule. After successfully passing the API 1169 exam, I can say the following: the course's content was relevant, digestible, and current. When you get to the point that you can successfully pass the provided practice exams, you are likely prepared to pass the API 1169. Thanks Velocity!
The moment you realize you are a better inspector by taking this class. I enjoyed the attention and passion that was shown to make sure we all knew the material. The instructor was willing to stay late and go over any and all material, that is something you never find. I would recommend Velocity to anyone who is serious about learning and passing the exam. Hands down the best training I've ever been to.
Awesome training that was in depth and on track. Great instructor.
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!
Thank you to the Velocity training team for proving this excellent course. It helped a great deal with the exam preparation!
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
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!
I just finished the exam and have a preliminary pass. The study material covered in the VTES Course is excellent.
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.
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.
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!!!
I took the 1169 exam on Tuesday 7/19. I passed! Your training course was very helpful.
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!
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.
