| Substation Maintenance Unit 1 (Correspondence)
Pricing | This course covers all of the components of an electric power system from production to consumption. It also teaches the basic math skills needed to perform calculations used in the industry. This course includes a TI-30 calculator and the text shows actual calculator strokes to work example problems. The course covers the fundamental principles of electricity (voltage, current, power, resistance, impedance) and introduces trigonometry and basic vectors that are used in calculating AC voltages and currents. There are five lesson tests to complete for this Unit.

| Substation Maintenance Unit 2 (Blended)
Pricing | This is the second of three self study modules. Students will receive a hard-copy workbook and test online at their own pace. This module is made up of 10 lessons covering the needed fundamentals of alternating currents. Students will be required to pass each lesson with a 70 or above in order to continue to the next lesson. The student must have completed Substation Maintenance Unit 1 Basic Math and Electricity to enroll.

| Substation Maintenance Unit 2 (Correspondence)
Pricing | Building on Unit 1, the student is taken through the principals of circuit calculations that include inductors and capacitors. It starts with single phase circuits, and then moves into three phase circuit analysis. The material also covers items such as the relationships of voltages in currents across different transformer configurations, AC power calculations, and metering fundamentals. Each section of this course has a hardcopy exam that is graded by TVPPA.This module is made up of 10 lessons covering the needed fundamentals of alternating currents. Students will be required to pass each chapter test with a 70 or above in order to continue to the next chapter. The student must have completed Substation Maintenance Unit 1 Basic Math and Electricity to enroll.

| Substation Maintenance Unit 3_Mechanical Maintenance Specialist (Blended)
Pricing | Is the third and final self study module for the Substation Maintenance Program. Students will receive a hard-copy workbook and tests online at their own pace. This specialist certificate course will cover in detail typical maintenance tasks needed to keep substation equipment healthy, maximize lifespan, and minimize failures. Some examination of typical preventative maintenance programs including transformer oil testing, temperature maintenance of transformers, circuit breaker mechanisms, characteristics of gas insulated switchgear and electrical busses. There will be a data application section that shows how various types of substation data can be used to predict failures so costly failures are avoided and reliability of the grid is increased. Students will be required to pass each chapter test with a 70 or above in order to continue to the next chapter. The student must have completed Substation Maintenance Unit 2 to enroll.
