In this module you shall learn about:
You may appreciate the fact that API wants to verify your understanding of the topics and hence the exam questions are mostly rephrased and given in the context of a scenario.
Our team of course editors are all qualified API SIFE Inspectors and Chartered Engineers who prepare the course based on the latest revision of study material.
They have years of industry experience, and most passed the exam for the past 6 years, so we are quite up to date.
Our course content goes through several check points to ensure that it is easy to understand, focused on the body of knowledge and is in line with ISO 29990:2010 Learning services for non-formal education and training; so, you know what you are expected to learn at the end of each module.
There are four definite leads to help you understand what type of questions to expect during examination. These are:
Regardless of which study plan you may wish to take or which training course you opt for; these leads shall help you focus your efforts and do a pulse check to ensure you are on the right track.
You can start the self-study by obtaining the reference study materials and crack on.
Obviously, you would save some money but instead, may be prone to make some silly mistakes that can be the difference between the success and failure in the API SIFE exam that you would otherwise rightfully deserve.
You shall miss the chance to review our latest question bank based on real API score sheets; miss those key points presented by our team of course instructors in the form of flash cards and specially; miss the all-important concepts that we offer to make your life easier right from the start.
Your approach and study plan are also very important.
If you merely memorize the facts and figures without fully understanding the concepts, there is still a high chance of getting the answer wrong because API exam questions are often rephrased.
In other words, API exam questions do not normally use statements from codes and recommended practices word by word (ad verbatim) except for day-to-day routine information that an inspector is expected to know (practical type of questions).
API wants to verify your understanding of concepts and how you use the codes to carry out your duties as a source inspector of fixed equipment.
You can choose our training package that has the advantage of explaining core principles and concepts while our exam questions are very much in line with actual API exam questions, aimed at reminding you of the concepts, how to apply those concepts and how to handle the trick questions.
We shall explain each topic as well as the basic concept in sufficient detail so that even those candidates with minimum level of knowledge and expertise can benefit from it.
We do not claim that our e-learning courses are the only option to pass the exam, nor we claim that our courses would completely substitute API SIFE study materials.
However, we do claim being one of the best API training providers because we shall:
Make sure you reach the Prometric test center at least half an hour before the scheduled time.
Prior to letting you in to sit for the exam; Prometric Invigilator shall:
You cannot carry anything with you except a bottle of water.
No ornaments are allowed except a wedding ring.
Prometric shall supply you with a couple of green color A4 size papers and a pencil for taking notes plus a simple calculator.
During API 653 exam, one of our candidates had an expired driving license and was refused entry although he returned half an hour later with a valid passport but by that time it was too late, Prometric said.
As a result, he had to pay the rescheduling fee (USD 350 $) and appear for the exam 6 months later.
It is recommended to check your photo ID to ensure it is valid and preferably carry two valid government issued photo ID as plan B.
It is simply not worth it to be refused for an ID issue after all the time, effort and money you have put in.
Prior to the examination, you shall be given the key to a locker to keep your belongings.
You are not allowed to use the locker until you have completed the exam.
Immediately, upon completion of the exam, you shall receive an email notifying you whether you have passed or failed.
Your preliminary exam result may be a ’’ preliminary pass’’ which is normally a pass; a ‘’marginal result’’ (too close to call; may be a pass if you are lucky) and a ’’preliminary fail’’ which is normally a fail.
You shall receive the hard copy by post within 2 weeks.
You can challenge any question you may wish, by writing on its comment sheet but please note that the clock keeps running so you shall be spending the time to fill in the comment sheet from your allocated examination time.
After ID verification, security check and letting you into the examination room, you will first go through the tutorial which last for maximum 10 minutes or earlier if you press ‘End session button’’, and then the actual exam begins and the clock start ticking.
Please click on link below to see the tutorial:
Remember, if during the examination, you wish to leave the examination room for say, using the toilet, you need to take your ID with you, report to the security outside the examination room and sign out. On return, you shall go through the same initial security check and sign in. During all this time, the clock is running.
Sitting for an exam can be stressful,
Let your brain rest. You need to be alert and full of energy to endure the exam.
Remember; your exam is not concluded until your time is up or when you press the ‘End Exam’ button which asks for confirmation to ensure that you have not pressed it accidentally.
