AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- L&K International Training, a branch of 360training, announced the release of their continuing education (CE) courses for the electric utility industry as approved by the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC).
"We feel like we're doing our small part to keep the nation's power system flowing. At a time when energy is receiving a lot of attention, it feels good to be a part of the solution," said Jeff Leiken VP of Technical Skills and Safety at L&K.
L&K is providing over 300 hours of CE classes in the generation, transmission and distribution sectors of the electric utility industry.
These interactive courses can be found on www.lkitraining.com and are available in online, CD-ROM and DVD formats. They enable utilities to easily and conveniently keep their employees trained on up-to-date safety procedures including emergency operations.
"It's important to deliver these courses through a medium that's fast and easily accessible. The power industry doesn't exactly have loads of downtime to abandon the plant or the field," Leiken said, "that just gives us confidence that the electronic delivery of our course material is the best possible fit for the industry."
In the past, the employees had to report their CE credits to NERC. But in L&K's online courses, the reporting to NERC is handled by L&K.
