Course Description
The API 570 Piping Inspector Certification Preparation program is designed to equip individuals with broad knowledge base relating to maintenance, inspection, alteration and repair of in-service metallic piping systems.

This program is produced by MSTS Inspection Training Services in Oklahoma, U.S. 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:

Provide a continued high level of safety through the use of inspectors specialized in process piping
Improve management control of process unit inspection, repair, alteration and rerating
Reduce the potential for inspection delays resulting from regulatory requirements

Course Objectives
The course provides participants with the knowledge necessary to:

Successfully pass the API 570 Piping Inspector certification exam
Effectively use major codes: ASME B16.5 & B31.3; ASME B&PV Sections V & IX
Perform all basic piping calculations needed for the API exam (e.g. tmin, test pressure, MAWP, MDMT, corrosion rates, remaining life, etc.)
Use API's requirements during inspection, repairs, and alterations of piping
Review welding procedures (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.
