The API-SIEE exam is the official API exam behind API Source Inspector Electrical Equipment — passing it earns you the API Certified Source Inspector - Electrical Equipment certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by API Source Inspector Electrical Equipment. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the API-SIRE (Source Inspector Rotating Equipment) and API-SIPE (Source Inspector Pressure Equipment) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one API credential.

The API-SIEE exam presents 110 (100 scored, 10 unscored pretest) questions to be completed within 195 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the ValidTorrent desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the API-SIEE exam you need Scaled score (approx. 70-75%, official value not disclosed), and the official registration fee is $495 - $695 USD (varies by membership status and region). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed ValidTorrent practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Minimum experience: 2 years electrical inspection OR 4 years electrical engineering/technology OR equivalent education + experience; prequalification required Because API revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official API exam page before you register.
