Course Description
The API 510 Presure Vessel Inspector Certification Preparation program is designed to equip individuals with broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspections, repair, and alternation of pressure vessels.

This program is prodced by MSTS Inspection Training Sevices in Oklahama, US. All instructors trained by Mark Smith (Master Trainer of MSTS) are selected for their technical and "wake-ability" skills. ("Wake-ability" - the ability to minimize snores during long, boring technical training.) Our students generally have a 90% passing rate.

This program benefits employers and the industry as a whole by helping to:
  • Improve management control of process unit operation, repair, and maintenance
  • Reduce the potential for inspections delays
  • Provide a continued high level of safety through the use of highly specialized and experienced inspectors

Course Objectives
The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to:
  • Successfully pass the API 510 Presure Vessel Inspector certification exam
  • Effectively use major codes: ASME B&PV & Sections V, VIII, & IX
  • Perform all basic piping calculations needed for the API exam (e.g. tmin, test pressure, MAWP, static head, MDMT, corrosion rates, remaining life, etc.)
  • Use API's requirements during inspection, repairs, and alterations of pressure vessels
  • Review welding proedures (WPS/ PQR) and welder performance qualifications (WPQ)

IDC was incorporated in 1996 by Helen Seibt who has a dream – to combine her love of teaching with her desire to run her own business. Started humbly as a language centre serving the local communities, its operation was hit during the economic downturn in Malaysia in 1997. 

Our founder was challenged with its first dilemma whether to alter, or to remain its core business in order to stay in the business world. A tough decision was made to venture into an untapped area of Technical Trainings for the Oil & Gas industry at that time. At that point of time, IDC Language & Training House took on a new name as IDC Training House – which has grown into a reputable Training Provider today, serving clients in more than 44 countries.
