API 570 prep: price, renewal and refunds

DisclosureWe make Long Seam, which is one of the options on this page. We describe every option from its own published information and link to it.

What you pay, what renews, and what you get back if it doesn't work for you. The API 570 exam is a costly sitting, so prep that doesn't fit your timeline costs more than its price tag. Here is the comparison. For the exam fees themselves, see our API 570 requirements and cost guide.

Long Seam is one payment: $199 for the API 570 course, with lifetime access. Nothing renews.

What the numbers add up to

  • Short windows end. The api570exam.com plans end after 48 hours, 7 days or 6 weeks. Its 6-week plan is $129.95. Long Seam's course is $199 with lifetime access, so a moved exam window costs you nothing more.
  • CertCrafter is the lowest price for lifetime access. $49 buys its API 570 kit with lifetime access and a 30-day refund window. Its page lists 1,020 questions in six timed 170-question exams, 28 chapters of study notes, 60 worked examples, 60 calculation drills, 400 flashcards, drills by Body of Knowledge part, and a 30-day plan with a readiness tracker. That is more full exams than our 2. Long Seam's course is $199. In untimed course practice you can ask Patch, our AI study buddy, about any question you missed and see your weakest topics, up to 40 messages a day. Your study plan is built from your exam date, and you practise timed lookups in your own copy of the publications. Pick CertCrafter if you want the most practice exams for the least money. Pick Long Seam if you want help with your own misses and a plan set to your exam date.
  • Atlas is a different kind of product. It is a 60-hour narrated course at $999, with a shorter 6-month window. Compare it on the teaching you want, not only on the price.
  • Refund rules differ a lot. One seller says all sales are final, one gives 30 days and one gives 48 hours. Read the rule before you pay, ours included.

What you get for the $199 course

You get a lesson for each section of the API 570 Body of Knowledge, worked calculations (corrosion rate, remaining life, inspection interval and more), a study plan built from your exam date, the question bank, 2 timed practice exams with a closed-book part and an open-book part, your score by domain, timed lookup practice in your own copy of the publications, and an exam-day guide.

Try the free 10-question check first. It needs no signup and explains every answer. Then see the API 570 course.

A practice score is not a prediction

No practice score, ours or anyone's, predicts your result on exam day. Use your score by domain to pick the next section to study. Our questions are original and written to the published Body of Knowledge, with code sections cited by number only.
