API 653 video course is suitable for those who wish to obtain CPD credit hours for recertification purpose such as API ICP, or simply wish to gain general Knowledge.
A certificate of Completion worth 24 CPD credit Hours shall be issued to candidates upon completion of videos. (One CPD hour is defined as one contact hour).

ICP will have a phased implementation of the CPD hour requirement beginning with 8 CPD hours required for individuals whose certification expire after January 1, 2023. The full CPD requirements of 24 CPDs will be implemented for those expiring on or after January 1, 2025. See the table below:
Recertifying Year | Number of CPD Hours Required |
2023 | Recertifying candidates must submit 8 CPD hours completed within the last 3 years. |
2024 | Recertifying candidates must submit 16 CPD hours completed within the last 3 years. |
2025 | Recertifying candidates must submit 24 CPD hours completed within the last 3 years. (All recertifications from this point forward must present 24 CPD hours each 3 year cycle. No more than 16 hours may be from one activity category) |
All our courses on NDT and API comply with API ICP guidelines and can be submitted as proof of CPD Credit Hours.
The CPD Guidance Document give you additional information on what activities are acceptable.
If you have multiple certificate; you can use our certificate of completion for all of them. For Example, : A certificant holds an API 510 and API 570 both recertifying in 2024. That certificant needs 8 CPD hours for each certification each year. The certificant takes our training course for 8 hours in 20240. These 8 hours can be applied to both the API 510 and API 570 for those recertification terms.
