Registration is open for the Electric Utility System Operation Short Course (EUSO). This year’s course will take place July 26 – 28, 2022.

This course will once again be presented by Skip Collier of Professional Training Systems, Inc.  Skip is highly regarded and has an extensive background in electric utility design, construction, maintenance and operation.

The EUSO Short Course is designed for any employee whose job performance will benefit from a basic understanding of the operations side of the business.  This includes those from legal, rates, engineering, purchasing, computer application, marketing, customer service, inventory control, finance, accounting, safety, risk analysis as well as those from generating plants.  One goal for this class is to have students leave with the ability to easily identify all of the electrical equipment they see in a substation as they walk by, along with all the equipment found on the poles in a residential area.  Non-electrical engineers are often at a disadvantage in the electric utility environment due to a lack of familiarity with technical issues.  The better you understand the utility’s product – electrical energy – and how it is created and distributed, the better you can serve the utility and your customers.  This course assumes no electrical background, and builds on the basics to provide a comprehensive understanding of the equipment and operations.

Line Maintainer apprentices will receive 21 Basic OJT hours for taking the EUSO Course.

Here’s what participants had to say about last year’s course:

“I was blown away on how he made everything understandable!”

“Had a great time! You are a very good teacher!”

“Would recommend this class to anyone in the Utility Industry.”

“I think anyone in the Electrical Field would benefit greatly from this class.”

“Skip explains everything very well.”
