The API Risk Based Inspection Professional syllabus spans 9 domains, headlined by RBI Fundamentals (10-15%), Hazard Identification (10-15%), and Consequence of Failure Assessment (15-20%). The full weighted outline is in the syllabus section above — our materials strictly follow it, and so should your study plan.

The API-580 exam — formally the Risk Based Inspection Professional — is API's certification exam for validating professional skills with its technologies; passing it earns the ICP Programs certification, a Professional-level credential. It is popular among job seekers for a simple reason: employers trust vendor-issued proof of skill. It also opens the path toward API 571 - Corrosion and Materials, API 558 - Pressure Relief Devices, API 510 - Pressure Vessel Inspection, API 570 - Piping Inspection.

The API-580 exam gives you 115 questions to complete within 210 minutes. That pacing is tighter than it looks on paper, and untimed practice will not reveal it. Rehearse with the PrepAwayPDF Windows software or online engine in timed mode — repeating full-length mocks until your rhythm holds is what turns preparation time into passing margin.

Passing requires 70%, and official registration costs $495 USD. Remember the fee buys one attempt only — a retake is billed in full again. The budget-friendly approach is to measure yourself first: work through 92 practice questions at PrepAwayPDF under timed conditions until you clear the passing mark consistently, and only then pay for the seat.

Recommended: Minimum 2 years of inspection experience; Knowledge of API 571 damage mechanisms; Familiarity with inspection planning. No formal prerequisite exam required, but API 571 is strongly recommended as background knowledge.

Vendor policies change from time to time, so before scheduling, confirm the current criteria on the official API exam page.
