Which school is
right for me... Basic or Advanced?


Basic School
Perfect for staff new to the power generation industry or someone who needs an introduction to the basic concepts and technologies, this school is appropriate for students seeking a foundation in generator technology. Whether you are in project management, sales, marketing or administration, you will find great value in this course! The Basic School is a generalized, yet technical, overview of On-Site Power.

Advanced School
Compared to the Basic School, expect our highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors to go into depth on subjects like paralleling, speed and load control, generator protection, voltage regulation and more. The Advanced curriculum is recommended for technical personnel. If you have more than three years in the Industry and need to sharpen your system equipment technical skills, then our Advanced School is right for you!

(Note: Attending the 
Basic School prior to attending the Advanced School is encouraged.)



Can you tell me
more about the CEU Program?

What exactly is a CEU?
In compliance with internationally recognized criteria and standards, one (1) EGSA CEU is equal to ten (10) contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. Applying these standards to the current number of contact hours in our Basic and Advanced Schools, the following is true:
Basic Power School
Receive 2.4 CEUs*
Advanced Power School
Receive 3.2 CEUs*

How do I receive EGSA CEUs?
You should apply for CEUs when you register for an On-Site Power Generation School, but you can apply anytime. A CEU section is included on the school registration form. After you pay a fee, attend the school, and achieve a passing score on a test consisting of multiple choice and True/False questions, we will mail CEU Certificates directly to you.

Where can I learn more?
You'll be given complete information about the CEU Program when you attend a Power School. In the meantime, visit our web site at EGSA.org where you can download EGSA's CEU Learning Outcomes, program requirements and procedures. 

Can EGSA's Rowley School help me prepare for the EGSA Technician Certification Test?

Our schools provide a broad technical overview of On-Site Power Generation Systems that might be helpful to technicians as they prepare to take the EGSA Technician Certification Test. However, they do not substitute for the in-depth practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to pass the Certification Exam (acquired through field experience, on-the-job training, other educational experiences, etc.).
