WHY CHOOSE CASTI
OUR STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE While other trainers may tell you "when taking inspector's certification exams, a pass is a pass, at CASTI we believe in excellence and becoming the best inspector that you can be. That is why CASTIs motto is: Well help prepare you not only to pass the exam, but to also be a better inspector! ONCE A CASTI CUSTOMER, ALWAYS A CASTI CUSTOMER We take great pride in providing you with the best possible customer experience. Once you have taken one of our training courses, you will see just what our customers mean when they rave about our unparalleled quality and commitment.

The training provided by CASTI allows you to gain thorough knowledge of the most up-to-date codes, regulations, technological advances, resources, and trends. With a better understanding of the important underlying principles behind codes and standards, you and your company will gain efficiencies and avoid costly errors. CASTI's training is 100% original content designed specifically for you. Our training courses go far beyond the literary words of Code documents by explaining specific Code paragraphs and related interpretations to provide guidance where a close study of the Code, on its own, may not produce a clear conclusion. We strengthen learner understanding by answering every question relating to the code and particularly focusing on the why. We reinforce learning with workshops and practical problems based on real-life examples drawn from the extensive on-the-job experience of our qualified and knowledgeable instructors. THE CASTI LEARNING ADVANTAGE (CLA) The CASTI Learning Advantage (CLA) training system introduces a progressive new series of hybrid training courses that combines pre-classroom online learning, in-classroom instructor-led learning, and post-classroom online learning. CLA courses provide exceptional value, not only in the amount and quality of the content but also by providing the opportunity to maximize learning while minimalizing time away from work. CLA courses reach beyond lecture-style training. They feature practical examples, workshops, detailed solutions, and interactive learning to provide our customers with knowledge that they can retain throughout their career.

CASTI Inspector Career Path
Welding Inspector/Examiner Career Path 1. The shortest and easiest step to begin a career as an inspector is to obtain the CSA Level 1 Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) accreditation (see Box A). Note 1: if code experience is insufficient, it is recommended to take the Introduction to ASME Codes course as the first step.* Note 2: jumping through this career path by going directly to the Alberta Welding Examiner (AWE) or API Inspector certification programs are much larger steps that require considerable thought before attempting them; please contact CASTI customer support staff for further discussion to assist you with this decision. 2. There is a two-year waiting period for a CSA Level 1 CWI before challenging their Level 2 CWI exams; during this two-year period, the Alberta WE certification can be obtained, which typically can take 12 to 18 months (see Box B). 3. The Alberta WE certification typically takes about one to one and a half years to complete. 4. Since there is some overlap between CSA Level 1 CWI and the Alberta WE certifications, the individual will be better prepared for challenging the WE program after achieving the CSA Level 1 CWI status, particularly if they have multiple code endorsements. 5. During the two-year waiting period between the CSA Level 1 and Level 2 CWI programs, the inspector can continue their career development by also obtaining other code endorsement certifications, since CSA W178.2 limits inspection work to the code that was written during the initial examination (see Box A1). 6. With this career development path, since there is a significant overlap between the Alberta WE and CSA Level 2 CWI programs, the inspector will be better prepared to challenge the CSA Level 2 CWI exams (see Box D). 7. With the CSA Level 2 CWI certification, by recognition, the inspector can become an AWS CWI (see Box C). 8. To strengthen professional credentials and create more job opportunities, the inspector can continue their career development by also obtaining other code endorsement certifications since the AWS CWI and CSA W178.2 certifications limit inspection work to the code that was written during the initial examination (see Box C1 and D1). 9. After two years or more with the above CASTI career development path, the individual will have obtained the following three certifications: CSA Level 2 (with multiple code endorsements), AWS CWI, and Alberta Welding Examiner.

API Pressure Equipment Inspector Career Path Now that the welding inspector/examiner has experience with various codes and writing exams, the next step in their career development is to follow the API pressure equipment inspector career path, which will be a smoother and more natural progression. 1. The first API inspector step is to become an API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector since it is mandated in Alberta by the Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation (PESR), which is the law, that only certified inservice inspectors are permitted to inspect pressure vessels (see Box E). 2. With the API 510 certification, the individual can then write the Alberta In-Service Pressure Vessel Inspector certification exam (see Box H). 3. Although there are no other PESR requirements for API inspectors, most companies require piping and storage tank inspectors to be certified as: API 570 Piping Inspector (see Box F) and API 653 Storage Tank Inspector (see Box G).
After becoming either an API 510, 570, or 653 inspector, the inspector can further their career development by obtaining the three API advanced knowledge certifications (see Box E1, E2, and E3): API 571 Damage Mechanisms, API 577 Welding Inspection and Metallurgy, and API 580 Risk-Based Inspection.
Note: The API 571, 577, and 580 Advanced Knowledge Certifications can now be obtained at any time if the candidate meets the qualifying requirements and they can be taken prior to the basic API certifications (API 510, 570, and 653). However, CASTI highly recommends completing at least one of the basic programs to build a foundation of knowledge prior to writing the advanced knowledge certifications. This CASTI Inspector Career Path will achieve the status of a "complete pressure equipment inspector" who has obtained: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. CSA Level 2 Welding Inspector AWS Certified Welding Inspector Alberta Welding Examiner API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector Alberta In-Service Pressure Vessel Inspector API 570 Pressure Piping Inspector API 653 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector API 571 Certification API 577 Certification API 580 Certification
Although achieving all of these certifications is not necessary to be employed as a welding or pressure equipment inspector, the more certifications one can achieve, the more employable that person becomes.
