Description of
Seminars
Arnold & Associates conducts semi-annual or more frequent Power
Fundamentals Courses which assist Stationary/Power (O&M) Engineers in
obtaining the 5th through the 1st Class Engineer License Certification by the
NIULPE. These courses,
offered at our offices in Roswell, GA, provide classroom coverage of basic
algebra, DC electricity, physical Science, pumps, valves, HVAC/R, prime
movers, steam generators (boilers), hot water boilers, and the associated
auxiliaries.
We also conduct Advanced Course Seminars which further assist licensed
candidates in obtaining the 2nd and 1st Class Engineer License. All of
the Power Engineer courses utilize our own custom study manual, which is a
compilation of all the recommended study material advertised by the National
Engineer Magazine (a NAPE
publication). The main difference in the Fundamentals Seminar versus
the Advanced Seminar is AC electricity, piping layouts, integrated energy
plant operations, and personnel supervision/management in an energy
conversion environment.

All trainees are encouraged to
pay well in advance so that the Training Manual can be picked up or mailed
prior to the Seminar start date. This
will give the Trainee advanced study time.
The pace of the Seminar is such that at least two hours of home study
are needed for each hour of Seminar coverage.
Each trainee will need an inexpensive hand held scientific calculator
to speed up the math portions of the Seminar.
Training begins and ends at the above indicated start time. There will be only one (15 minute) break
during the entire four-hour training period.
All trainees are encouraged to eat their evening meal prior to
arriving at the A&A training facility.
All classes are limited to 15 trainees. Sign up ASAP to assure that space is
available. Send no cash with
application. Checks, money orders or
company purchase orders, please. Arnold & Associates, Inc., (A&A),
looks forward to your positive and timely reply.
The cost of the Fundamentals
Seminar is $1,750.00 per Trainee. The
cost for the Advanced Seminar is $2,250.00 per Trainee. If a Trainee attending the Advanced Seminar
has successfully completed the A&A Fundamentals Seminar, then the cost to
that Trainee is $2,100.00, provided trainee uses the previously issued
Fundamentals Seminar Manual. An
A&A Power Engineering Seminar Training Manual and other pertinent
handouts are residuals for each Trainee to continue self-study for further
advancement.
If you are unable to attend the regularly
scheduled Seminar, but wish to purchase the training manual, you can contact us for details. The Seminar Training Manual is
available for $150.00 plus $8.00 S&H.
All seminars for licensing are authorized and certified by the appropriate
national professional organizations. The power engineer seminars are
endorsed, certified and authorized by the National Institute for the Uniform
Licensing of Power Engineers (NIULPE) and
endorsed by the GSANIULPE and the National
Association of Power Engineers (NAPE).
Why
Get Certified?
Currently, the US Government's General Services Administration (GSA),
Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), and the Federal EPA
recognize and advocate the licensing of their central energy plant and
facility O&M personnel to a minimum of the 4th Class Engineer
level. Many local and state wide hospitals, the CDC, schools, high rise
building owners, etc., require their O&M personnel to be similarly
licensed or higher. This is done to reduce their insurance premiums and
to provide their customers with qualified, safe, knowledgeable and efficient
maintenance and operations support personnel.
The State of Georgia requires the Equipment Safety Inspectors to review
documented and available qualified personnel who attend boilers, according to
the revised boiler code working rules. This requires a display of a
Certificate of Authorization issue by the Chief Safety Inspector's Office.
These certificates are issued per standard qualifications prescribed by the
Boiler & Pressure Vessel Technical Advisory Committee. The NAPE and
NIULPE have been informed that the 3rd Class Licensed Engineer or higher may
meet the minimum standard.
Although the Federal EPA has not yet mandated certification of training of
High Capacity Boiler Operators, it is a strong possibility that the mandate
will occur. The NIULPE has qualified through the Federal EPA to provide
certification of same via its existing licensing program. The level of
NIULPE licensing may vary, depending on the size, configuration and fuel of
the particular boiler.
