The API Pipeline Facility Construction Inspector is the official API exam that leads to the Pipeline Facility Construction Inspector Certification certification at the Professional level. Passing it validates your skills against API standards and proves your qualification to current and future employers. The credential is also connected with related certifications such as API 1169 Pipeline Construction Inspector, so it can serve as a solid step in a broader certification path.

The API-1184 exam has 120 (110 scored, 10 unscored pretest) questions in total and must be completed within 180 minutes. That leaves only a narrow time budget per item, so train yourself to flag a difficult question, move on, and circle back later instead of getting stuck. A week or two before your test date, run at least one full timed mock exam in the Actual4Labs desktop or online test engine under the same 180 minutes limit, and repeat until you can finish with a few minutes left for review.

The passing score for the API-1184 exam is Determined by equating process (approx. 70%-80%), and the official registration fee is $450 - $600 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking the exam means paying the full fee again — so it is wise not to book your seat until your practice scores sit comfortably above the passing mark. Working through the 123 questions at Actual4Labs in timed mode is a reliable way to judge when you are truly ready.

API sets the following requirement for the API-1184 exam: Minimum 2 years of relevant inspection experience or equivalent education + experience; familiarity with API RP 1184, API 1104, API RP 1110 and related standards.
