Certified Supervisors Program
Our industry has done a great job at training and educating electrical apprentices and turning them into journeymen. Now, let’s go the next step!
Let the AECA Certified Supervisors Program (CSP) help train your key field supervisors.
This program is designed to have interaction among participants, encouraging them to learn from one another. In most classes, there will be time for both large and small group interactions, as well as practice of skills.
AECA supervisors must complete 120 hours of training in order to receive the CSP designation. Thereafter, they’ll need to have 16 hours of continuing education every two years. The upper management team at each of our members will determine which courses/tracks a supervisor takes. Candidates should try to average 40 hours each year, over a 3 year period (8 Safety & Health hours, 12 Technical hours & 20 Management hours).
The following are examples of the courses offered in the 3 tracks:
Track 1: Safety & Health Offerings
