The hands-on difference
HANDS-ON SKILLS YOU CAN USE TODAY
No other electrical training provider dedicates the resources we
do to ensure each student has hands-on time with the equipment.
Our training centers are set up with substations, buried cable fields,
switchgear, motor controls, relays, transformers and more. Every
student is even required to successfully perform each task under
instructor evaluation in order to pass.
MORE THAN EXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS

While our instructors have decades of combined years of electrical
experience in utility, manufacturing, industrial and commercial
industries, each one of them is hand-picked for their combination of
experience and teaching ability.
LEARN PRINCIPLES, NOT MANUFACTURERS

Because there is such a wide variety of electrical equipment and
tools available, we provide non-commercial “conceptual” principled
training. We will train on any manufacturer of test equipment or
electrical equipment: Omicron®, Doble®, Manta®, AEMC®, Fluke®,
Phenix®, ABB®, Schweitzer®, Square D®, Cutler-Hammer®, Megger®,
Eaton®, Powell®, GE®, Westinghouse®, and others.
INDUSTRY RECOGNIZED TRAINING

Our courses are recognized by the International Electrical Testing
Association (NETA®) for Continuing Education Units – CEUs. The
Fortune 500 and all U.S. government agencies attend our courses.
So, no matter where our students go, the quality of an AVO
certification is recognized.
FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Our students come from a variety of industries and trades, with
varying levels of experience. Class sizes are small so our instructors
can ensure each student gets exactly what he or she needs.

customTRAINING
We will develop the training course that fits your exact training
objectives. Hopefully, you will find the course that matches your
company’s electrical safety and maintenance needs from our
course listings. However, if you don’t find what you need within our
standard course offerings don’t worry. We will develop a course that
fits your specific equipment or training needs for your personnel.
It takes a unique set of skills to develop an effective electrical safety

program that considers the realities of electrical maintenance
operations. We have the electrical safety knowledge and expertise
to help you with your safety development projects, while saving time
and money.
NFPA 70® Article 110.7 specifically addresses safety programs by

stating, “The employer shall implement and document an overall
electrical safety program that directs activity appropriate for the
voltage, energy level, and circuit conditions.”
The Benefits of custom Training

difficult to attend classes through a more traditional route. Online
learning also provides an avenue for those with part or full time jobs
to continue their studies around their work schedule.
AVO Training Institute will offer a variety of convenient and affordable

value packed E-Learning courses. These courses will cover Arc
Flash Electrical Safety, Refreshers, Re-Certifications and more.
Of course our online training will never replace our “Hands-On”

classroom experience but it is another way we add value to our
students needs and lifestyles. Continue visiting www.avotraining.
com as these courses become available throughout the year.

The harsh environment of mines (moisture, flammable substances,

dust) creates electrical hazard risks unheard of in any other industry.
MSHA compliance officers are very active in every mine within the
United States. Staying up to date with electrical safety standards
often places a burden on understaffed mine operations. An effective
electrical safety training program ensures MSHA and OSHA
compliance, minimizes risk of electrical accidents, and reduces
losses associated with shutdowns and outages.
Who Should Attend

This course is intended for new, multi-craft or experienced
electricians, technicians, engineers, supervisors and safety
managers that install, maintain, repair, troubleshoot or work around
low and medium voltage electrical systems in mines.

Solid-state technology is a logical evolution of protective relays. While

electromechanical relays are usually single phase, single function,
solid-state relays may be multi-phase, single function. Solid-state
relays are less affected by vibration, humidity and other environmental
factors. Because of fewer moving parts, they require less maintenance
and are less likely to fail at critical times. They are common in nuclear
or critical applications where NERC or 1E classifications are a
concern. At the same time, they are sensitive to voltage spikes and
require additional test precautions. Proper testing and maintenance
of solid-state relays ensures the integrity of the protection scheme,
prevents nuisance tripping, and minimizes damage to equipment and
interruptions to the power system when faults do occur.
Who Should Attend

This hands-on course is intended for electricians, technicians and
engineers responsible for testing and maintenance of solid-state
protective relays. Students must bring a scientific calculator.
