On-Site Power Schools

Introducing EGSA's New Two-Tiered On-Site Power Schools

For several years, the EGSA Education Committee and School Instructors have been planning and developing the most significant and major curriculum change in the 25-year history of the school: two school levels. The new curriculum is designed to better meet the needs and diverse backgrounds of those who attend our schools.

The Basic School is a general, but still technical, overview of On-Site Power Generation equipment. The Basic School is designed for those who are working in nontechnical positions (such as Sales or Marketing, Administrative, or Company Management positions) and for those with less than three years experience working in the industry.

In comparison to the Basic School, the Advanced School will offer more highly technical and in-depth coverage of the equipment. The Advanced School is designed for those who have attended the EGSA Basic On-Site Power Generation School; those who are employed in Engineering, Project Management, or Service positions; and for those with over three years working in the industry.
