 This course is designed to provide an up-to-date knowledge and skills for source inspectors for the purpose of providing a consistent method of Supplier/Vendor (S/V) quality surveillance for the oil, petrochemical and gas industries. It is intended for individuals willing to take the API Source Inspector Certification examination. 

 The course covers the process of providing quality surveillance of materials, equipment and fabrications being supplied for use in the oil, petrochemical and gas Industry, including upstream, midstream and downstream segments. Participants will be trained in providing a systematic approach to risk-based source inspection in order to provide confidence that materials and equipment being purchased meet the minimum requirements as specified in the project documents and contractual agreements. The course will guide source inspectors acting on behalf of purchasers to determine whether manufacturers/fabricators own quality systems have functioned appropriately, such that the purchased equipment and materials will meet contractual agreements. 

 This course focuses primarily on pressure containing and structural equipment (fixed equipment) including: vessels, columns/towers, heat exchangers, piping, valves, pressure relief devices, tubulars, and associated structural fabrications.
