Helpful!
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.

Thankful!
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.

Overall great!
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.

Recommend Velocity
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

Showed a ton of knowledge!
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.

Course: API 1169 Classroom Training · Tulsa
★★★★★ 5/5
The classroom stunk of mildew due to rain coming in the room after a rain and soaking the carpet. Other than that the class was very informative.
(My only suggestion would be to make the homework more about looking up information in the given references and less multiple choices to force students to actually look up information more.)

Good Job!
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.

I highly recommend this prep course.
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.
