Give your engineers the critical skills to succeed in your company
Phase One is a 200 hour online home study component.
Phase Two is an intensive, 800 hour program with practical exercises and projects comprising 90% of the program. This program will be taught in a combination of classroom and hands-on labs with field visits to electrical apparatus manufacturing or repair facilities, industrial facilities, partner firms and prospective employer locations.
Phase Three is a return to work, or the beginning of employment, to gain field experience.
Phase Four is preparation and support as graduates prepare to challenge industry certifications. Completion of these four phases, with accompanying field experience, will prepare graduates as facility maintenance engineers and advisors.
