Performance Power Plant Training prepares Boiler Operators, Stationary and Power Engineers, and technicians to pass whichever level of license they are pursuing by breaking down the core components of a Power Plant. Along with thorough presentations of all aspects of Stationary Engineering, courses include study material and practice tests to give students the best opportunity to pass their ASOPE test.
The American Association of Power Engineers empowers Operating Engineers by issuing licenses to individuals who demonstrate their experience and knowledge by passing an ASOPE test. The large selection of technical licenses allows operators and engineers a starting point to achieve this nationally recognized certification, no matter where they are in their career, from apprentice to journeyman.
The ASOPE® Main Power/Stationary Engineer Competency license program consists of Facilities, Stationary Tech, Power Plant, Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine, Gas Turbine, Diesel Plant, and HVAC & Chiller Engineer classifications.
A person who is looking to start their career in the Power Engineering profession may start at the Facility Operating Engineer 3rd Class level, which is designed as an entry point for the person with minimal experience. Also available is the Facility Stationary Engineer Technician, which requires more mechanical and electrical training. As the person gains knowledge and experience, they can continue to progress to Facility Operating Engineer Chief. A person may elect to use the experience gained as a Facility Operating Engineer Second Class to cross over to the classification of Power Plant Operating Engineer 3rd class.
If a person proves they meet the qualification for a certain classification and level of license, the person may take the examination for that classification and level without taking the lower level examination for the classification.
It is possible that a person may also start their career in Gas Turbines or Combined Cycle Combustion Turbines. This part of the program is designed for entry-level students to start at the Gas Turbine or Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine Operating Engineer 3rd class and progress through the various steps of both the Gas Turbine and Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine programs.
Another option would be the Diesel Plant Engineer or HVAC & Chillers Engineer license. With the growth in the use of new fuels for Diesel/RICE engines in the electrical generation sector.
