Due to popular demand we now have a public API 579 Fitness for Service course scheduled for June 2020. See the details here

 

Congratulations to Drew who received the highest overall score for ALL AICIP examinations in 2018.

Drew attended our AICIP Examination Preparation Course in September 2018 ran in Perth, Western Australia.

At Wilkinson Coutts we offer a free course to any of our students that achieve the top score in API or AICIP examinations, so now Drew gets to choose which course to do next.

Well done Drew!

We recently ran our PRD Inspection and Testing course for Stanwell Power Station in Rockhampton, Qld.

Inspection and testing of PRDs is fundamental to asset integrity and critical to plant safety. As well as learning about PRD types, design and code requirements we pop tested, leak tested, stripped down and re-built a number of PRVs.

A great course and excellent opportunity to see first hand the operation of a large power station.

In collaboration with Vertech NZ, we are running both an API 570 and API 510 exam preparation course in New Zealand this year.

The courses will be run in New Plymouth, Taranaki on the following dates:

API 570 – October 1st – October 10th 2019
API 510 – December 11th – December 20th 2019

As per normal, the online training will commence 3 months prior to these dates.

For information, pricing and to book into these courses, see our course calendar.

It seems as though many people access our website via their phones. We became aware of some mobile device optimisation issues which have now been resolved.

Added to this, we have created a new booking system that makes things easier for you and for us.

We are constantly reviewing our ‘shopfront’ to ensure you get the best service. Thanks to Henry at Blue Mountains Websites for his hard work on the back-end.

In addition to our highly successful AICIP In-Service Inspector Examination Preparation Course, we have added a Senior AICIP (SISI) preparation course.

This course will focus on the Fitness For Service (FFS) assessments of Appendix N and O of AS/NZS 3788 as well as curriculum on regulatory requirements and inspection management.

Other FFS tools such as API 579 and API 510 will be considered, as well as simple repair techniques per ASME PCC-2.

The course will be run as 6 weeks of online training followed by 4 days of classroom contact. See the Course Calendar page for dates.

Well done to the Applus+ AICIP Exam Preparation Course students who completed their examinations earlier this week.

The AICIP exams are difficult and taxing, requiring months of preparation – which is exactly what our students had. 3 months of online training plus 8 days of intensive classroom based learning including 3 days of mock exams.

Hopefully the results will be in soon.

Congratulations to the October 2018 API 570 class from Perth – everyone passed. A testament to the hard work that everyone put in. Well done.

After securing a venue in Sydney, Australia we will start running our exam preparation courses on the East Coast of Australia in 2019!

We have had many enquiries following the success of our AICIP, API 510, API 570 and API 653 Exam Preparation Courses in Perth, Western Australia.

Our Sydney courses will be run at the Adina Apartment Hotel in Mascot. The venue is perfectly located; close to the airport for interstate travelers and 5 minutes walk from the train station for locals.

We have added a number of new courses recently so keep an eye on our calendar page for more courses or contact us to run an in-house course for your staff.
