Are you struggling with the SOPEEC examinations or are just not sure where to begin or what to study? I am a former examiner and I can teach you everything you need to know to be successful in your Power Engineering career. I have gone through the recommended reading for you to cover off the key syllabus material that may shown up on an exam.
I have put together the training material you need to be successful into full day classroom style courses.
-- former student
No pre-studying is required prior to class and there is no final exam at the end of the course. Its all about the SOPEEC exam.
I hold a 1st Class Power Engineer Certificate, In-Service Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspector Certificate, Welder Examiner and API 510 certification. I also bring a combination of 20 years experience in the pressure equipment industry as an NBIC Owner User Commissioned Inspector and Power Plant Operator.
