This program is designed to prepare participants for the certification exam only.
The Piping Inspection of Specification API 570 certification defines the institutional standards that govern the inspection and evaluation of in-service piping systems in industrial settings. It explains the regulatory context, technical criteria, and professional roles required to maintain piping integrity under the API 570 code. Participants gain systematic knowledge of damage mechanisms, inspection models, compliance structures, and documentation frameworks relevant to piping operations.
