It was an excellent program conducted by a very experienced tutor.
The discussion topics were directly related to my work scope and
responsibilities & helpful and recommended this course to any
inspection personnel.
E. Kannan
Discipline Head, Inspection Execution, Sarawak Shell Bhd
Dear Mark:
We conducted API 510 training course from 21 July to 29 July by
inviting Lutz Seibt in Malaysia. The course was attended by 23
applicants and the results of the questionnaires were excellent. I really
appreciative your recommendation for great lecturer and hope you to
give us your useful consultation for a long time to come.
Eung-Ho, Kim
Manager, Education Planning Team

As always the course has been conducted to an excellent standard
and the learning very much tuned to actual work environments. Very
much recommended to all levels of the engineering community.
Pg Hassanal ASBPHM Puteh
Utilities Plant Inspector, Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd

What I like most about the Training is the SIMPLIFICATION.

P.Govalupillay
Managing Director, PT. Atmindo (Indonesia)

Before I attend this Training, my knowledge about the pressure

vessel code is very poor. Now, I am self-motivated to know more
about ASME, quite interesting.
Adi Setiawan
Engineer, PT. Atmindo (Indonesia)

The course was conducted successfully and I believe it helps me in

having a better understanding of ASME IX "Welding Qualification" and
efficiency in reviewing my day to day job.
