Power System Protection and Coordination Feedback

A sampling of what our previous attendees have said as part of their course evaluation. We have yet to have anyone rate the class as very good  (9+ out of 10) so these comments were somewhat unique or more verbalized. Some of them were from the feedback forms where they were asked what information was most helpful to them.

"This is the BEST technical training I've ever attended. Each subtopic was covered in suficient depth for practicing engineers, including details on the software that aren't found in other courses or on the internet." S., U.S. Navy 2023

"Excellent- Learned a lot and had fun too! this is very rare", M. USACE, 2005

"Very  good! I will recommend this course to other engineers" J., Ontario Power Generation, 2006

"Very good. I would highly recommend this course. Training materials were commendable." D., Conoco Phillips , 2008

"Course was wel taught. Very organized. Course material provided was excellent and correalted to class." R., FAA, 2008

"Very informative. Presented very well." A., Capital Power Corp. 2012

"This is an excellent course which covers from A-Z of what an engineer needs to kno w in the area of protection and coordination. I would highly recommend this course to other engineers." T., Tampa Electric Co. 2012

"Great course. Thur and Fri examples really helped solidify topics discussed during the lecture." P., Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, 2013

"Great course. Learned a lot more than I thought. Mainly surprised to by the low voltage through medium voltage topics" W., USMC 2013

"Hands on exercises a very helpful." S., Excelon Corp. 2013

"A religious experience for an electrical engineer..enlightening and affirming" A., Howard Engineering 2013

"CT saturation and calculation of saturation level because that topic isn't well covered in other courses. " P., Capital Power

"Very good course. Extremely knowledgable instructor." T., Gold Eagle Corp. 2013

"Great course with broad enough scope but gets into just enough details. Liked the learning activities of real problems." R., Nebraska Public Power 2013

"I will be recommending that my senior engineer attend this course" B., Morrison-Maier Engineering, 2014
