/
Course summary:
This two-day course was designed by Mr. John Cornell in 2001 and has been offered many times in various places around the globe.
This course covers the basics relating to design, construction, inspection, maintenance, and operation of API above ground storage tanks. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant standards for new construction and existing tank inspection, repair, alteration and maintenance. Due to its popularity, our "Introductory Course" is the most copied Tank Class in the world. It is being 85% copied and then offered in Canada by a large training organization there and our self-paced course was copied and sold for viewing in China for years without compensation being provided. So with that said, if you want to start with the basics, this is the best introductory level class you can attend.
It has been updated and is ready for 2023.
