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
NERC Continuing Education
360training.com offers over 300 NERC approved continuing education hours (CEH) that will assist your organization and personnel with the necessary knowledge to ensure emergency preparedness levels remain high. Included in the 300 CEH hours we offer over 34 hours in NERC Standards training.
NERC CEU Reporting
You won’t have to worry about reporting your trainees’ CEU’s because we report them directly to the SOCCED database on a daily basis. Less time messing with stuff like this equals more time for you to actually run your organization and take care of business.
In 2004 our partner 360training acquired Canadian training provider L&K International, a leading provider of transmission, power, distribution training to the power, energy and utilities energy worldwide to form the worldwide Technical Skills and Safety division. Technical Skills and Safety Division closes largest single contract in company's history, providing a multi-year training contract to key US defense contract.
We've helped most of the world's best-known power and energy organizations maximize their efficiencies and enhance their training performance including PacifiCorp, Southern Company, Sierra Pacific, Tennessee Valley Authority, FirstEnergy Corporation, Florida Power & Light, Orion Power, Duke Energy, MidAmerican Energy, Energy Corporation and Puget Sound Energy.

NERC PACKAGE AND COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
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.

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.

Effective monitoring and management of control performance is the cornerstone of reliability. It is important to be able to both understand and apply NERC and regional standards in carrying out control performance requirements.
This course is intended as a review of NERC Control Performance requirements. The concepts and applications presented throughout the course should familiarize you with each policy and standard
This course is intended to emphasize the importance of clear communication and coordination while carrying out emergency operations. As you progress through this course you will be asked to reflect on the outlined concepts and asked to apply those concepts to real world examples provided throughout each lesson.
This course is intended to correspond with NERC and CE standards and the standards of the regional coordinating authority and is intended for training purposes .

Safety is a frame of mind, personal commitment, awareness, and safety compliance based upon knowledge, training and experience. The safety of employees, field personnel, and even the safety of the public depend upon your conscientious and disciplined use of safe work practices in each of your day-to-day operations.
This course will discuss safety procedure requirements for high voltage and power systems operations and will allow you to engage with the material by participating in training exercises requiring the application of operations safety procedures.
Synchronizing islands is critical to system restoration. During this course you will learn how islanding occurs, methods of island synchronization and how to handle underfrequency and undervoltage occurring in electrical systems.
You will also review NERC standards and their applicability to the control and restoration of an island.
This course is intended as an introduction to the concepts of underfrequency and undervoltage. During this lesson you will be asked to relate these concepts to NERC and regional coordinating authority standards and to apply your knowledge of these relationships by answering a variety of questions.
By the end of this lesson you should understand the different roles and relationships underfrequency and undervoltage maintain with many workplace practices.
It is suggested that you review the NERC Glossary of Terms prior to beginning this module
During this course, you will become familiar with both the NERC and WECC requirements concerning voltage control.
Voltage control plays a substantial role in determining the success of electrical operations. As a result it is important to study voltage relationships and the impact of these relationships on various types of electrical systems handling various types of voltages.
