Chump has a forgiving heart and will continue his most important role in helping API students remember the 100's of closed book questions as we play, Stump the Chump.

The # of API Examinees SOAR - Many more individuals are taking the API exams. A total of 2086 examinees took either the 510 or 570 exam over the last 12 months (Dec 2006 & June 2007 exams). Two years previously the total was 1290. This is over a 60% increase. Also guessing the December 2007 exam will again break examination records. Major impact of the increased API examinees - CLASSES ARE FILLING UP ABOUT 8 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. If interested in a MSTS class PLAN AHEAD!!

More API Certifications - The first API 580 exam on RBI was given in March 2007. In 2008 API offered an API 577 Welding Inspection certification.

API 510 Rewrite - The 9th edition of API 510 has been issued and is now included in the API exam. This is a total rewrite of the code. This new edition follows a format similar to API 570. Also, much work was done to improve the readability of the code. One major new concept covered in this edition is that each vessel and relief device must have a documented Inspection Strategy.
