The API-1169 exam contains 115 (100 scored, 15 pretest) questions and gives you 180 minutes to complete them. That works out to a brisk pace, so you cannot afford to stall on a single tricky item — flag it, move on, and circle back if time allows. Before exam day, run at least two timed mock sessions with the PrepAwayExam desktop or online test engine; practicing against a real clock turns the official time limit into a comfortable rhythm instead of a source of panic.

The API-1169 exam (full name: Pipeline Construction Inspector Exam) is a API certification exam that leads to the Pipeline Construction Inspector credential, positioned at the Professional level.

It also sits within a broader certification path that includes API 1104 Welding Inspector, API 1110 Pressure Testing Inspector.

The API Pipeline Construction Inspector exam is organized into 3 domains. The main areas include Environmental Protection and Regulatory Compliance (15%), Pipeline Construction Technical Knowledge (50%), and Safety and Health Requirements (35%).

Combination of education and experience: 3–8 years of pipeline/industry inspection experience depending on education level; no mandatory prerequisite exams

Eligibility requirements can change, so before you register, confirm the latest criteria on the official API exam page.

To pass the API-1169 exam you need a score of 700 (scaled score), and the official registration fee is $480 USD.
