API 653: Tank Inspection Code Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction of Steel Above-Ground Storage Tanks (Preparation for Exam)

The full outline for this programme is not published on the site yet. It exists, and we will send it to you.

Everything else on this page is accurate: the duration, the level, the delivery formats, the scheduled dates and the fee. What is missing is the written outline, and rather than put a generic description under a real programme’s name we would rather you asked and got the real one.

Ask by email or on the telephone and it comes back the same working day, with the content day by day and what you leave with. If you need it for a committee, say so and it comes as a document you can forward.

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
