One detail worth knowing before you book: the API-936 exam is delivered In-person test centers or remote proctoring.

Yes — the free trial exists so customers can fully understand the system before buying. Download the sample API-936 practice questions at no cost, explore the interface, and check the verified answers yourself. Once you purchase, 365 days of free updates are included, and if the product expires, the update service renews at a 50% discount from your member zone.

The API Refractory Personnel blueprint is organized into 5 domains, led by API STD 936 Core Requirements (30%), Curing, Drying & Post-Installation (10%), and Installation Methods & Procedures (20%). The complete weighted syllabus appears above on this page — it is the checklist your preparation should be measured against.

You will face 85 (75 scored + 10 pretest) questions within 195 minutes on the API-936 exam. The real exam pressure comes from that ratio — knowledge alone does not finish exams on time. Rehearse with the Lead2Passed test engine's timed mode, repeat the same question sets until the answers consolidate, and pacing stops being a risk factor.

No mandatory prerequisites; relevant work experience recommended

Eligibility rules do get revised, so before booking, verify the current requirements on the official API exam page.

Courses build the framework; repeated practice consolidates it. Pair whichever resource you choose with 87 practice questions from Lead2Passed and important knowledge points stay learned, not just seen.

The API-936 exam — full title Refractory Personnel — is API's own certification test, and passing it awards the Refractory Personnel Certification certification at the Professional level. The certificate is valuable precisely because it is demanding: it proves to employers that your skills survived a vendor-built examination. It also serves as a stepping stone toward API 982 Refractory Inspector.

The passing score is Scaled score, approx. 70% correct (not publicly disclosed), and the official registration fee is $450 (API members) / $625 (non-members). Note that the fee pays for a single attempt — a retake is charged at full price again, which is the expensive way to discover weak spots. The cheaper discovery method is self-testing: drill 87 practice questions at Lead2Passed in timed mode until your scores clear the passing mark with room to spare, then register.
