Generation Training
Your Power Generation Training Source
Our power generation training programs provide your operations and maintenance personnel with a working knowledge of theory, procedures, and equipment to operate and maintain your power generating station safely and efficiently.
We can map all our curricula and development plans to your specific job classifications to develop generation training programs for positions such as auxiliary operators, control room operators, production technicians, and other roles held by power plant personnel.

We’ve developed an animated, interactive library with a wide range of topics from power generation to boiler fuel systems and plant control systems to renewable energy. Our training features 3D animation to engage and enhance student retention. It provides a detailed look at equipment so workers understand how all elements of the equipment work together.
Since HSI is more than a content provider, we also map all our curricula and development plans to your specific job classifications such as auxiliary operators, control room operators, and production technicians to make sure your training program covers all the tasks your workers perform.
Training is an important pieces of becoming a power plant operator. While requirements vary across organizations, a basic understanding of the power system is a helpful foundation.
With the exception of nuclear power plants, power plant operators are not required to be certified. However, it’s important to have a structured training plan in place, so your operators are prepared for any situations.
