Where is the training held?
All of our PSSP, WPP, and SAFE-401 courses are held at our office in Langley, unless otherwise noted on our course schedule.
Electrical Safety Awareness training would be held at your facility, or virtually.
Does EETG offer training elsewhere in BC?
We do not run regularly scheduled training elsewhere in BC, however our instructors travel anywhere in Canada - we have a minimum requirement of 6 people (or charge for 6 people) to book a group session, and you would be responsible for the instructor's travel costs. Submit a group booking request, or give us a call at 604-427-4200.
How long is my training valid for?
PSSP and WPP training is valid for two (2) years, and requires renewal upon expiry, if you are still working on a BC Hydro project. SAFE-401 training does not expire, and we keep all hardcopy records, and electronic records safely stored on our cloud. Electrical Safety Awareness training does not expire, but is recommended to renew every two (2) years.
Do I receive a certificate after my training?
Training record wallet cards are provided at the end of PSSP and WPP training. These cards do not certify you to work on a BC Hydro jobsite; they are only an indicator that you have completed the required training. After your training is complete, your results will be entered into a BC Hydro database, whereby your BC Hydro Authorizing Manager must authorize your results. At that point, you will be authorized to go to work.
There are no certificates given for in-person Electrical Safety Awareness
