SuperFlux,
You probably won't be able to attend, nor am I suggesting that you need to, but here is the link to Mark Smiths training. There is other helpful info on there even if you stay in Kuwait until the test date.
I hope to take the seminar one day....then there will be too many API inspectors
http://www.msts-training.comEvery post that I have seen about him/seminar has been positive.
