Memorizing answers alone isn't enough! Such an excellent course
I just wanted to let you know that I passed my API 1169 exam yesterday! The exam was actually much easier than I expected. I only opened the reference materials for about three questions because almost everything felt familiar from your training. I spent the last 30 days preparing for this exam and went through all of your lessons. I have to say, the lessons with the slides and voice-over were the best part of the course. They were easy to follow, easy to take notes from, and really helped me remember the material. Honestly, it felt like I gained pipeline field experience through your training. The quizzes were amazing as well. Since English isn't my first language, I struggled with some of the technical terms. I ended up Googling the words and looking at images to better understand concepts like berms, plugs, breakers, barriers, and many others. That really helped reinforce what you were teaching. During the exam, I could relate most of the questions directly back to your lessons. I honestly don't believe someone could pass this exam without studying. You really need to understand the core concepts behind API 1169. Memorizing answers alone isn't enough. Thank you again, Matt, for creating such an excellent course and for all the support and encouragement along the way. I'll definitely be recommending your training to anyone preparing for API 1169. Thanks again!

“A valuable resource”
I wanted to let you know that I completed and passed the API 1169 exam. On my first attempt in April, I scored a 393. After deciding to better prepare for my second attempt, I enrolled in your training program. The course gave me a much stronger understanding of the material and significantly increased my confidence going into the exam. I took the exam this morning and passed with a score of 430. Thank you for the training and support. The course was a valuable resource in helping me achieve a passing score.

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.

Great job!
The instructor was very knowledgeable. Answer every question that was asked. He backed answers up by codes or in black & white writing. Matt did a great job overall. (Lake Charles, LA Classroom)
