Preprinted Tabs ($25) - A set of tabs for your codes! The 2 most common problems with tabs are: they are hard to read and the Code is "porcipined" (way too many tabs!) Unimportant tabs hide the tabs that are really important on your exam! Our tabs solve both of these problems. Important key pages are easy to find with this tabbing system. Non-MSTS students can purchase a set of Tabs for $25. Each set contains about 65 tabs. Tabbing instructions are included. ALL MSTS STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE A SET AT CLASS.

Code Notes ($50) - Sometimes the codes do not display important information in the easiest to understand format. For example, the hydrotest formula in ASME Sect VIII is written as a sentence, and not as a formula! Now that's not very user friendly! So you need to write the hydrotest formula in the Code. Our Code Notes show you what should be written in the codes and where it should be written! Non-MSTS students can purchase a set of Code Notes for $50.

Other Materials - We certainly recommend attending an API training class prior to the exam! But if you can't, you might find our other materials useful. These include: Class Manual, Homework, Study Guides, & Practice Exam.

Chump, our faithful class mascot of many years was recently abused and branded by a cast of unsavory characters. They were so proud of the work, they even photographed their deed! Justice will be served!

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. In both 2008 and 2009 over 3600 individuals have taken either an API 510, 570 or 653 exam. By contrast in 2005 only about 2000 individuals took an exam. This is an 80% increase. One impact of the increased API examinees - CLASSES ARE FILLING UP ABOUT 8 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. If interested in a MSTS class PLAN AHEAD!!

More Important Impact - The last few years there were more jobs than inspectors, but that has changed. Today there is more competition for the same jobs. So today it is more important than ever to plan your career! Alway consider what "do you want to be where you grow up". In other words, what skills do you want to bring to the discipline 5 or 10 years from now. The person that plans will always have more future flexibility that those who just bounce between circumstances. Be a collector, collect the needed experience and skills you want to be able to offer in the future.

More API Certifications - Other API exams include API 571 - Degradation Mechanisms, API 577 - Welding, API 580 - RBI, and API 936 - Refractory.
