As practicing electrical engineers, staying current with the latest technologies and code requirements isn't just beneficial—it's essential for career growth and professional licensure. That's why we've developed a comprehensive series of professional development seminars specifically designed for engineers who design, specify, and implement standby power systems across commercial, industrial, healthcare, and data center facilities.
Moreover, each course in our series provides you with valuable Professional Development Hours (PDH) and Continuing Education Units (CEU) that count toward your PE license renewal requirements. Whether you're based in Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis, or anywhere throughout the Midwest, our flexible seminar format makes it easy to enhance your expertise without disrupting your workflow.
Our professional development courses were specifically created for practicing professionals involved in critical power system design and implementation. Consequently, these seminars are ideal for:
Additionally, these courses benefit electrical contractors, power system consultants, and facility managers throughout Michigan, and across the United States who need to understand modern standby power generation technologies and code requirements.
We understand that your time is valuable. Therefore, our seminars are structured as efficient 90-minute sessions that can easily fit into your workday. In fact, many firms prefer scheduling these courses as breakfast meetings or extended lunch sessions, which minimizes any impact on your team's productivity while maximizing learning outcomes.
Furthermore, our instructors bring real-world experience from thousands of generator installations across the Midwest, ensuring that you receive practical insights that go beyond textbook theory. Each session combines technical depth with hands-on problem-solving approaches that you can immediately apply to your projects.
Professional licensure maintenance requires ongoing education, and our seminars help you meet those requirements efficiently. Upon successful completion of each individual seminar and achieving a passing score on the associated final assessment, participants receive:
Moreover, these credits are recognized by licensing boards throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and most other states, making it simple to maintain your professional engineering credentials while expanding your technical knowledge in critical power systems.
Our professional development series covers the complete spectrum of standby power generation, from basic sizing calculations to advanced paralleling systems. Below, you'll find detailed descriptions of each course designed specifically for electrical engineers working on critical power projects throughout the Midwest region.
