ASME Training Course - Online Video Training

This Online ASME training course includes section VIII Div.1 (Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels), IX (Welding Qualification) and  V (Nondestructive Examination) is a video training. This is 40 Hours (5 days) course and available online all over the world. This course also is a perfect course for individuals who want to learn about pressure vessel inspection and testing. 

Hi, this is Bob Rasooli from I4I Academy. There is no powerpoint presentation with a voice-over in this course. I know most people do not like online courses or do not see as effective as a real classroom course; that is why I am using video training and editing videos to simulate the actual classes for my students. 

Each course comes with a handout which you need to review them while/or after watching the videos. 

Testimony;

Jean. S - Netherland 

I took this course, and I think this ASME Course is excellent, especially considering you learn not only the construction code but also you learn reference codes such as section II, section V and section IX.

When you completed the video training sessions for VIII Div.1 (Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels), IX (Welding Qualification) and  V (Nondestructive Examination), which cumulatively is almost 20 hours, in the next step, you will be connected to the practice exam portal with hundreds of practice exam questions; you need to complete them. There are almost 300 questions about section VIII Div.1, 170 questions about section IX and 165 questions about section V. 

You are going to take a final exam (150 questions - Open Book) at the end of the ASME Training Course and receive a certificate from I4I Academy with my signature.  

Package includes:

  • Video Training
  • Handout
  • 350 Practice Test and Exam Questions 
  • I4I Academy Certificate
  • 40 Hours PDH (Profesional Development Hour) Toward 9 Year Certificate Renewal for American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspectors 
  • 40 Hours CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Hour Toward 3 year API 510, API 570, and API 653 Recertification (Applicable after Jan 2023)
  • 40 Hours Training credit Toward 6-Year Certificate Renewal for Candian Welding Bureau Certified Welding Inspectors 
  • Technical Support*
  • 4 Months Access

*If you need help during the study, the support will be available!
