Powersmiths has structured its total training program after the training programs used for both civilian and military
flight training. Those programs consist of a ground school and an in-flight training program.
In the ground school the fundamentals of aerodynamics and flight are taught. These fundamentals are then put into
practice in simulators and finally in the air.
The same is true for Powersmiths' Electric Power System Operator training. We have developed a text, "Electric
Power System Reliability-2007" which presents the fundamentals of Power System operations and the NERC Reliability Standards.
This serves as our ground school. We then follow that with our OPS-X simulation training package which allows the participant
to practice the fundamentals learned in our ground school.
Both the ground school and the simulation training can be achieved in a classroom environment during the courses that
we offer once per month or they can be delivered in a stand-alone, self paced format.
Please see the accompanying web pages describing each of these programs for more detail.
