Real feedback from pipeline professionals who used Velocity Training to prepare for the API 1169 Pipeline Construction Inspector certification exam.
“I was able to pass my exam. I owe a lot of credit to your training program. Even with several years of experience on pipeline construction right-of-ways as a surveyor, there were regulations and regular practices that I did not know about and was educated about through Velocity.”
“I passed my test on the 15th with a 415 score. I am sure I would not have done that well without taking that class. I can honestly say that was the difference maker that is directly related to my instructor.”
“Overall, the instructor, Matt Wood, was very knowledgeable about the pipeline process and questions asked about the material. He kept the class interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend the class to any other person trying to become more familiar about the certification.”
“I believe the online and classroom experience was spot on. This course taught me new ways to study and comprehend. I appreciated the course structure, which was easy to follow, the instructors’ ability to explain complex concepts clearly, and the interactive elements that kept me engaged.”
“I think that without this class your chances of passing are not good. I am glad I took this course. The course is a must have for passing the 1169.”
“Class was very helpful. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was always willing to stop and answer questions in depth until the questions asked were clear. Great course.”
“The course was designed well and thought out. The instructor was well versed and took his time to explain things. One of the best instructor-led courses that we have attended. Coverage of material was excellent.”
“I would like to compliment Velocity Training for building a great API 1169 prep course. Cost, accessibility, ease of access, and the in-depth information pertaining to all aspects of the API 1169 certification. I passed!”
