Keith's Class 
We did it!  We had two October API 570 classes going on simultaneously in Colorado.  Even though we had 50 students, there were even more ELK.  Almost every morning or evening, elk were bugling.  What a tremendous place for a class.  

We appreciate all our students who made this very memorable trip!  

One student even skipped Saturday's Practice Exam and climbed to the top Long's Peak 14,250 ft. Whew! I had a hard enough time walking back to classroom after lunch! But I don't feel to ashamed, ... I saw a lot of much younger inspectors driving to each meal to avoid the relatively short walk to lunch  ... at 8000 ft elevation! ​

]]><![CDATA[Class Materials - For Sale]]>Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:05:30 GMThttps://www.msts-training.com/msts-news/class-materials-for-saleMaterials for Sale - Are you taking an API exam (510/570/653)? If so, you might find some of our class materials useful. To see the pricing for all materials select the STORE page. To order materials, give us a call at (918) 531-2441.

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 was kidnapped from class and he took a road trip. I think he spent a few weeks in Texas (various locations) and Louisiana. Highlight included: a new set of coveralls, and his first professional baseball game.

But it wasn't all fun and play. Here Chump is trying in-vain to help Dustin on some class Data Sheets. "One more time Dustin ... CUI for CS is ... 10-350 F."

Chump is back home and ready for some more rounds in class of ... Stump the Chump.
