Training’s Role in Technology Transfer
Colleagues,

Through EPRI U, we offer the electricity sector’s technical and management

professionals a growing curriculum of courses and technical training to equip them for
essential technical challenges and for professional growth and development. For EPRI
members it is instrumental in our broad efforts to enable more effective technology
transfer.
EPRI U offerings include classroom courses at EPRI and member locations, online
training and courses, computer-based modules, video training and other options. Many
courses are based on more than 40 years of EPRI research, technology and techniques
from its programs in power generation, delivery and use.
Individual courses or programs of instruction can be tailored to your company’s or
facility’s workforce, operations, and strategies. Our instruction can provide broad,
foundational knowledge, or it can support certification and qualification for specialized
technical skills and applications. Because the knowledge and skills are integral to long-
established, ongoing research, many of these courses cannot be offered or duplicated
anywhere else.
Expect more opportunities as we develop new courses. Equally important, please
share your ideas regarding how EPRI U can support your staff training and
development, and enhance EPRI technology transfer.

NONDESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION (NDE) TRAINING
The need for specific training and better documentation of nondestructive examination (NDE) personnel
qualifications is becoming more evident across the electricity sector. EPRI’s NDE Center has identified two
specific categories of NDE training to best serve the industry's need for enhanced personnel qualification
programs. These categories include in-service inspection (ISI) training and technical skills training.

Background
Qualified utility and supplemental personnel are critical to a plant’s ability to safely and effectively
conduct maintenance tasks and help reduce the length of outages. The NDE Training and Qualification
program streamlines onboard processes; improves the work quality; and saves time, money, and effort
for utilities and workforce providers. The NDE Training and Qualification program includes a task analysis,
objectives, written test items, and performance (practical) evaluations. It covers tasks performed by utility
and supplemental workforce.

Evaluations and Qualifications

EPRI develops and maintains knowledge and practical examinations for NDE-related activities. Each
evaluation covers a specific task area, such as ultrasonic and visual examination practices, and includes
both written tests to assess worker knowledge and a practical hands-on demonstration to verify worker
skills. The NDE Training Program and Qualification exam information is available on epri.com.

Course and Qualification Format

The Visual Examination (VE) program is composed of three courses or competency areas, Levels I, II, and
III. Each week-long course offers quality instruction via lectures, question and answer sessions,
instructional DVDs, and hands-on laboratory exercises. Competency examinations are included. The VE
materials and training cover techniques and applications specified in the ASME Section XI Code (including
IWE and IWL) and related documents.

The Ultrasonic Examination training program is composed of three courses or competency areas, Levels I,
II, and III Method. The Level III course is five days. The Level I and II courses are two weeks each, and
competency examinations are included. This course series includes a range of information from basic
theory to more complex issues such as detecting and evaluating indications.

The In-Service Inspection training is a four-and-a-half-day course developed for engineering personnel or
management who rely on the NDE process but are not directly involved with performing examinations.
The intent is to provide an overview of the NDE methods, ASME Code Sections V and XI, and their
applications. In addition to classroom lecture, the course includes several demonstrations and hands-on
laboratory sessions. Engineers and other personnel involved in in-service inspection, design, quality
assurance, maintenance, and licensing, as well as management, will benefit from the course. A modified
three-day (24-hour) version of the training provides an overview of the NDE methods, ASME Code
Sections V and XI, and their applications.

Materials
Student and Instructor course materials are available for a fee to individuals who have not participated in
one of EPRI’s courses. A copy of the materials is included in the registration fee for students who
participate in an EPRI course.

Qualification Examination Services
Qualification examination services not in conjunction with a training course are available for all NDE
technical skills; Level I, II, and III training programs; and other applicable training programs (including
general, specific, and practical examinations). These fees also include applicable CEU and/or transcript
documentation.

STANDARDIZED TASK EVALUATIONS
The Standardized Task Evaluation (STE) program streamlines qualification procedures; improves the work
quality; and saves time, money, and effort for utilities and workforce providers. STEs include a task
analysis, objectives, written test items, and performance (practical) evaluations. They cover tasks
performed by utility and supplemental workforce. Over 80 tasks are available on epri.com.

Background
Qualified utility and supplemental personnel are critical to a plant’s ability to safely and effectively
conduct maintenance tasks and help reduce the length of outages. EPRI’s STE Program supports these
efforts through a proven knowledge and skills evaluation process that ensures the competency of the
industry’s craft and technician workforce. Program members include utilities and workforce providers.

Project Approach
STEs are used to ensure that the workforce is competent to reliably perform the many tasks associated
with operating and maintaining industry facilities. The approach is predicated on the idea that there is no
need to re-train experienced craft-persons for similar tasks at different plants. Rather, testing to validate
previous training and experience provides assurance that a person will perform to high standards.
Program implementation as described in EPRI Product 1025244 is achieved through: evaluations (written
and practical), a national registry, and program administration industry standards.

Evaluations
Program participants continue to collaboratively develop evaluation tests that support high-priority
industry needs. Each evaluation covers a specific task area, such as rigging or valve maintenance, and
includes a written test to assess worker knowledge and a practical hands-on demonstration to verify
worker skills. Over 80 evaluations have been developed within the STE program and are available to
program participants on www.epri.com. The current STE library is provided, beginning on the next page.

Program Administration Industry Standards

If station personnel can objectively validate that a supplemental worker has been trained and has
demonstrated their ability to perform a specific task through an independent evaluation, the station may
conclude that the individual meets the qualification requirements for that task at the station. The EPRI
STE process provides a method to accomplish that objective validation.

EPRI’s Administration Protocol for Portable Practicals (AP3) (EPRI Product 1015074) was developed to
evaluate workforce provider practices for administering EPRI’s STEs. This protocol reflects industry
consensus standards for administering practical evaluations, and participating workforce providers are
eligible for a review of their training practices under this program.

10154324
25
National Registry
The results from the evaluations are documented in a national registry of personnel who have
demonstrated competency in specific task areas. Participating organizations have access to EPRI’s website
that hosts the on-line registry. This registry documents the test results of workers who have completed a
written and performance evaluation on a given task. Utilities and workforce provider organizations can
use the registry to verify these results. Utilities may use those results to establish worker qualifications.

THINGS TO COME
Improved Technology Transfer
EPRI is always striving to increase the effectiveness of our technology transfer. The global energy
workforce includes an unprecedented number of new employees as countries expand and upgrade their
generation, transmission, and distribution operations to meet changing demands. EPRI will expand our
training offerings to assist stakeholders with quickly understanding and adopting our research results.

Increased Collaboration
Training provides not only an opportunity for individuals to learn highly technical and complex
information, but it also provides the opportunity for students to meet and ask questions of researchers
and global industry experts. EPRI’s unique global membership allows training participants the opportunity
to expand their professional networks by networking with the other participants in EPRI’s courses.

Advancing Training Delivery

EPRI established a Training Department in 2017 to help our world class researchers with course
instructional design, development and execution. This new department is helping our experts update
previous training offerings while expanding into areas that are most important to our stakeholders.

Learning Management System

The first training resource EPRI is adding to its portfolio is a Learning Management System (LMS). EPRI will
continue to offer classroom training, but the LMS will allow us to add additional computer-based and
distance learning courses. These additional formats are often more efficient as they reduce the need for
travel and more time. The LMS will also provide individuals a central location to identify and register for
all EPRI training and a repository for training records.
