Building on the knowledge gained through the Basic Boiler Plant Operations course or through experience with high pressure boilers.
The course comes with a three volume book set to supplement your online experience. In addition to over 500 pages of printed text your online training uses animation, graphics and movies to help you through the course at your own pace. The course uses self-testing at the chapter and midterm levels to demonstrate and reinforce the student's progress. Contact with an instructor is also available to answer questions and help guide you through to successful course completion.
The course provides the student with the information necessary to pass the NAPE Power Plant Operator Certification Examination as well as aid in obtaining many jurisdictional and state licenses or certifications including ASOPE and NIULPE licensing.
