ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM (EPS)

Electric Power Technology is an instructor-led program sponsored by the Energy Providers Coalition for Education and developed for current and future electric utility workers. This program teaches students the components, design and operation of the electrical system and the equipment and safety procedures used when working with electricity. After completion of the core courses, students choose a specialisation area to pursue such as line construction, metering, substation or system design. Classes begin every three to five weeks throughout the year.
