The API Pipeline Construction Inspector blueprint spans 5 domains, including General Onshore Pipeline Construction Inspection, Environmental and Pollution Control, Codes and Standards.

Candidates must meet API work experience and education eligibility requirements related to pipeline inspection, oil and gas industry experience, or heavy industry experience. Because eligibility rules change over time, treat the vendor as the final authority — check the official API-1169 requirements before paying any fees.
