Born on the
Job Site.
In 2016, we were a group of experienced quality inspectors working at a refinery. Only one of us held a certified Pressure Vessel Inspector designation, but we were all determined to change that. Our demanding day-to-day responsibilities at a remote site made traditional classroom courses nearly impossible to attend.
So we built our own solution. We developed a systematic study plan, broke the material into manageable sections, and held each other accountable. We passed the API 510 Certification exam — then the API 570 exam — using the same approach. Driven by that success, we decided to share our method with the world.
Those early study tools became the foundation of Helpmateworld, developed by Austenite Pty Ltd — an Australian company of qualified engineers and professionals passionate about making technical knowledge accessible to everyone, everywhere.
