Independent Training and Certificate of Completion

Analytical Training Consultants (ATC) independently develops and delivers this course on Positive Material Identification and the application of API RP 578. The course is not approved, sponsored or endorsed by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

Students who successfully complete ATC’s course requirements receive an ATC Certificate of Completion documenting 16.0 CPD Hours. This is an ATC training credential, not an API-issued certification, license or authorization.

Employers remain responsible for determining personnel qualifications and authorizing individuals to perform PMI work under their applicable procedures. References to API RP 578 identify the technical standard covered by the training.
