The API Pipeline Facility Construction Inspector (exam code API-1184) is the exam you pass to earn the Individual Certification Programs certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also connected with related credentials such as API 1169 Pipeline Construction Inspector, API ICP Certifications. If you are mapping out a certification path with API, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.

The API-1184 exam includes 120 questions, and you have 180 minutes to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the Actual4Labs test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.
