The Hands-On Difference
With more than 57 courses specializing in Electrical Safety & Electrical Maintenance, AVO offers one of the largest selections of electrical training courses available today. With this kind of focus, our courses not only meet the highest industry standards, but also provide the hands-on “real world” skills to keep people safe, compliant and knowledgeable. All delivered with a passion for safety that sets us apart.
Our instructors are selected from the best the industry has to offer. With an average of 20 years “real world” experience, they are subject matter experts in their fields. Beyond the world-class textbook curriculum, students are exposed to experiences and scenarios only gained by someone who has been there and done that. Many of our instructors sit on national committees, panels and work groups such as NFPA 70E, IEEE, ASSE and others (Page 10).
Online Training Courses
Our Online Training Courses are expanding with the new 10-module NFPA 70E 2018 Standards bundle and NEC 2017 Changes Course online. We also continue to add online Recertification, Reinstatement, Refreshers Courses and Exams to our line-up (Page 12). Online will never replace our instructor-led training, however it provides needed Electrical Safety awareness for individuals who work in and around electrical environments.
Electrical Consulting for Utilities
Our Electrical Consulting Services have expanded to include advising beyond the classroom (Page 6). From Protective Relay and Cable to Generator, Transformer, Swtichgear, Electrical Safety, Breaker and Testing Software, our subject matter experts are here to consult. AVO experts advise, assist and support your technical staff, using your equipment in your environment.
New Courses for 2018
Staying current with the changing NFPA 70E standards and OSHA regulations is a necessity in order to keep people safe and compliant. This year we start with the new NFPA 70E 2018 standard updated course (Page 22). All of our electrical safety courses are updated with these new standard changes. Infrared Thermography II (Page 51), Transformer Maintenance and Testing (Page 46) and Advance Transformer Maintenance and Testing (Page 47) in Spanish are other 2018 additions.

Adding strategically located host Training Facilities to our established base, allows us to offer more convenient and affordable training options. These locations are carefully chosen as we partner with established electrical industry leaders. We now have established training partnerships with North American Switchgear in Cleveland, OH, Western Electrical Services in Sumner, WA, and Circuit Breaker Sales NE in Seymour, CT (Page 10).
