NERC CERTIFICATION PREP AND NERC CE CLASSES
NERC Certification Prep
The System Operator Certification Program provides the framework for the examinations used to obtain initial certification in one of four NERC credentials: Transmission Operator, Balancing and Interchange Operator, Balancing, Interchange and Transmission Operator, and Reliability Operator. A system operator credential is a personal credential issued to a person for successfully passing a NERC system operator certification exam. The credential is maintained by accumulating a specified number of continuing education hours within a specified period of time. The program will allow system operators to maintain their credential through continuing education rather than to recertify by retaking an examination.
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to print your certificate online.

NERC CERTIFICATION PREP COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
9500: Emergency Table Top Drill $400.00
This module provides the student with an in depth study of operational problem-solving drills. Students will proceed through the various scenarios ranging from minor events to system black-outs and restoration.
Through this module, students will be introduced to the topic of emergency preparedness through a series of exercises or drills designed to provide a realistic learning experience. Students will have to complete separate, written logs documenting his/her actions for a given scenario: the trainees are provided with “expected outcomes” that they are to compare their responses to. This course is very realistic and requires use of skill-sets that closely match those that would be used in an actual situation.

9900 - System Operations Review NERC Certification Prep (101) $350.00
The NERC OPERATIONS TRAINING MODULE is designed to provide a comprehensive general review for personnel seeking CE training credit as well as for those persons who are preparing to take the NERC certification exam.
Note - if a person completes this before attaining certification by NERC, then it does not warrant NERC CE credits.
This is a tool to help prepare for taking the exam. It does not include or imply content of any NERC certification exam answers. The purpose of this module is to serve as a tool to help with an individual’s understanding of system operations and demonstration of knowledge necessary to succeed in the NERC certification exam. It is absolutely necessary to spend “face time” in the references and Standards in addition to the course completion.
