OPTIONAL courses ("seminars ") DESCRIPTIONS

These courses are not considered part of ELP curriculum and are not required for graduation.

Highly valued in certain facets of the power-delivery industry, these courses are for students who desire a focused experience in specific disciplines. Because not all utility and line-construction companies require that their workforce obtain these certifications, they are offered as optional courses (FL) / optional seminars (TX). Classes may be scheduled after hours and on weekends, so students interested in enrolling should remain flexible. Every effort is made to accommodate all who wish to enroll; however, enrollment is limited.

CRA 1005 CRANE OPERATOR CERTIFICATION training

In the power delivery industry, large-line construction companies use cranes to install towers, substation equipment, and large wood-pole structures. For this reason, many construction companies place a high value on crane certification when recruiting. This course will provide classroom lecture, hands-on training, and skill-building exercises on the essential knowledge and practical skills necessary to successfully pass all exams required to receive a nationally recognized certification provided by NCCCO. Testing for the five required exams to receive NCCCO certification are built into this course, three written and two practical. Upon notification of a passing score for all five exams, the student will receive the NCCCO nationally recognized certification to operate all swing-cab and fixed-cab telescopic boom cranes (valid for five years).

The total cost for this course includes a testing fee1 paid to the certification agency* and all required course materials. If a student fails any exams, retest fees will apply 2

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics has been specially developed for students to refresh or refine the math skills needed to pass industry-standard entrance exams. This optional course starts out reviewing basic arithmetic and gradually incorporates algebraic material. Though geared toward improving basic math skills, many graduates report that it not only helped them in passing employment entrance exams, but also in meeting the college-level math requirements of various power and construction companies.
