CASTI Information

Codes and Standards Training Institute (CASTI) was founded in 1989 when John E. Bringas, P.Eng. taught our first course in welding metallurgy. Since then, CASTI has presented over 1,500 courses internationally, specializing in the area of engineering codes and standards (API, ASME, ASTM, CSA, NACE, ISO, and others). The CASTI instructor staff includes members of many codes and standards committees as well as globally-recognized professional engineers with international accreditations. CASTI technical courses are developed for inspectors, engineers, technologists, designers, supervisors, maintenance, and quality assurance personnel who work for owners-users such as petrochemical plants, refineries, gas plants, power plants, oil/gas pipelines, pulp and paper mills, municipalities, or those who work for engineering procurement companies, inspection companies, fabricators, and regulators in governing jurisdictions. Our Instructional Philosophy To ensure the highest quality education, all CASTI courses are developed and taught by highly knowledgeable and experienced instructors, who are or have been Code committee members. As an IACET Approved Provider, CASTI training ensures course development, delivery, and evaluation is in accordance with IACET/ANSI Standard which is recognized world-wide. We not only teach "what" is in a Code or Standard, but more importantly, "why" it is there.
