API 570/510 online exam prep saves time, money, and is convenient.
I've always found it surprising that API exam preparation wasn't offered in a U.S.-based online format. Preparing for the API 510 or 570 exams can be challenging, especially when attending in-person prep classes. One major issue is taking time off work, which often means lost wages. While some companies may pay for the course time, many do not. These courses are typically offered in the spring and fall, which coincide with turnaround seasons, resulting in missed overtime and significant pay reduction.
Missing a week of work during this period can lead to a loss of up to $6,000, plus an additional $1,000 for travel and lodging expenses. For a two-week class, this could total $14,000 in lost wages and travel expenses. Including training materials, exam prep classes, and the exam itself, the cost could reach $16,500. While this is an extreme scenario, even losing $3,000 for a week of travel and classroom time is undesirable for most people.
Taking API training online can save a significant amount of money. Atlas API Training has recently launched an online API 510 course, and the API 570 online course is now available as well.
