The course is aimed at plant engineers, non-destructive testing engineers,
materials and corrosion
engineers, plant inspectors responsible for managing the integrity of ageing
process equipment,
pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.
This course covers Level 1 (for plant inspectors) and Level 2 (for engineers FFS
assessments), in
accordance with the 2006 edition of API RP 579.
