    ASME’s Piping and Pipeline Engineering Program

    Earn microcredentials to demonstrate expertise in codes governing pipeline systems.

    Build rigorous knowledge of the engineering principles and Code requirements needed for design, materials and construction, and post-construction of industrial piping systems and transmission pipelines and showcase your skills and expertise in the industry

    Is this program for you?

    Professionals involved in designing industrial piping, as well as those who build and maintain pipelines benefit from gaining specific knowledge of the ASME piping and pipeline code to guide design and project execution. This includes roles such as piping and pipeline engineers, project engineers, and other technical professionals working in the power, oil & gas, petrochemical, and chemical process.



     

    ASME’s Bolting Specialist Qualification Program – status update 5/16/2023
     
    Due to updates in the 2022 release, ASME’s PCC-1 – 2022 no longer aligns with the ASME’s Bolting Specialist Qualification Program (BSQP). As of May 16, 2023, we will no longer be accepting registrations.
     
    If you are a current customer, here’s what you need to know:
    Any customer who purchased the ASME BSQP online courses (product code LP109) within the last 90 days will have access to the online course portion of program for 90 days from the date of purchase.

    ASME will maintain records of all training and assessments conducted in compliance with Appendix A for traceability purposes.  Inquiries can be sent to CustomerCare@asme.org.
     
    If you are seeking Requalification:
    Individuals with legacy Appendix A training or qualification certificates should locate a program who offers academic and practical examinations detailed within PCC-1 Appendix A to complete or update their certification.
     
    BSQP Authorized Training Providers:
    Authorized Training Instructors' Contracts will not be renewed.

    Earn a microcredential through on-demand training.

    Gaining practical skills in interpreting and applying codes related to piping and pipeline engineering supports your industrial projects and building your career skills and knowledge simultaneously.

    ASME’s Piping and Pipeline engineering program

    Learning pipeline engineering from an ASME educator provides formal on demand training to master and apply topics and concepts covered in ASME codes ASME B31.1 Power Piping, ASME B31.3 Process Piping, ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries, ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems.

    Learn more about the three levels of training for an engineer to design, construct, test, and maintain

    Part 1 - Code Design
    Learn how to describe and understand the ASME codes for piping and pipelines focusing on code intent, design rules, and practical applications.
    Part 2 - Materials and Construction
    Build applicable experience implementing ASME B31 codes in material selection, specification, welding, joining, examination, and pressure testing to ensure safe, compliant, and reliable piping and pipeline systems.
    Part 3 - Post Construction
    Practice applying risk-based inspection methods, interpret fitness-for-service evaluations, and implement post-construction repairs and modifications to ensure safe and reliable piping operations.
    Level 4
    Individual should have advanced knowledge of all aspects of bolted flange joint assembly and should be able to develop and maintain bolted flange joint assembly procedures, training processes, and provide detailed oversight and guidance to bolted flange joint program.

    FAQs

    How can I purchase the ASME PCC-1 Standard?
    You can purchase a copy of ASME PCC-1 on our website.
    What is a microcredential?
    Microcredentials are specialized training programs that provides individuals with a digital badge or certificate upon completion of a learning program focusing on a specific skill or set of skills.
    What are the requirements to earn an ASME L&D microcredential?
    Learners are required to complete the online material and pass the course with a score of 75% or higher.
    What is the difference between a microcredential and qualification?
    Microcredentials and qualifications differ in scope, duration and focus.

    Micocredentials are designed to be completed relatively quickly, targeted at specific skills and result in a digital badge or certificate.

    Qualifications involve a more extensive period of study, cover a broader range of subjects and result in a formal credential.
    How do I share my digital badge?
    It’s easy to share your digital badge. Once you meet your completion criteria, you will receive an email with instructions on how to:
    • Share it on social media
    • Add it to your LinkedIn profile
