Studying for and passing a test does not necessarily equate to competence as a process or contract inspector for hire. This article explores what it takes to become a capable inspector in this ever-changing industry.

Inspectioneering Training and the American Petroleum Institute (API) are proud to introduce the Mechanical Integrity Professional (MIP) Academy, a new joint initiative created to elevate the technical knowledge benchmark across the industry by delivering world-class online training courses and educational materials to today’s mechanical integrity professionals.

Christopher Levy, VP at Inspectioneering Training, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating that "The MIP Academy builds on the existing Mechanical Integrity Professional initiative between Inspectioneering and API. We are thrilled about the caliber of these online courses and the creation of meaningful programs that advance our industry."

The MIP Academy offers on-demand courses ranging from 1 to 3 hours taught by mechanical integrity subject matter experts with extensive domain expertise and industry experience. Participants who complete these courses will not only gain valuable understanding and insight into a variety of critical subjects, but they will also earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours, which satisfy API's ICP recertification requirements.

All MIP Academy courses are meticulously researched and jointly developed by Inspectioneering Training and API to ensure they are relevant and provide key foundational knowledge to integrity professionals working in the Oil & Gas and chemical processing industries. Initially, four courses will be offered:
