Online training for the API 653 Exam: Tank Repair & Inspection

Why Atlas Online API Training?

API 653 Pass Rate

Over 95% of our online training students pass the API 653 Tank Repair & Inspection Exam. Our online training material is designed to maximize your exam prep efficiency and help you pass the test on the first try.

I just took the 653 exams, and I can say that If it wasn't for the course being online, I would not have been able to pass the exam without going to a forty-hour course. I would have been out of pocket at least $4,300 for the course and hotel etc. I recommend all of Atlas' training to all my co-workers.

Overview of the API 653 Course Study Material

This API 653 training course online is 60 hours long. This is the easiest and least expensive way to prepare for the tank inspector certification exam. This training is self-paced. You can stop and start whenever you like. Your stopping point is bookmarked so you can pick back up where you left off. You can repeat the entire course, or individual lessons that you would like to review. Work at your own pace. You will never be rushed, and you will never be slowed down. You can email your questions to the instructor for quick answers when you need help.

There are practice quizzes throughout the API 653-course study material along with timed, practice exams at the end of the lessons. There are over 1,000 exam type questions in the quizzes to help you become familiar with the kind of content that will be asked on the actual exam. This is a significant part of the Atlas API training. The timed practice tests are beneficial in letting you know how well prepared you are. There are also three additional practice tests that are made up of API 653 exam questions available to download. There are audio flashcards containing questions and answers that can be listened to while driving, at the office, or just relaxing at home.
