Course Description
Based on industry-developed standards,API's Inspector Certification Programs are recognized and used with confidence worldwide. These standards have also provided an uniform platform that serves as a model for many state and government regulations. They enable inspectors to play an active role in improving industry health and safety;environmental performance; ensuring compliance and self-regulation; and strengthening management control and internal inspection capabilities. This course aims to emphasize professional credibility and process integrity.
