Inside Pellissippi

Edison Electric Institute test preparation course offered

An Edison Electric Institute test preparation course will be given at Pellissippi State beginning January 31.

The course will provide the skills necessary to pass institute tests that utilities such as the Tennessee Valley Authority use in hiring for power plant operations and maintenance training programs.

The 32-hour test preparation course will include refresher training in math, graphs and charts, mechanical concepts, spatial ability and reading comprehension. Test-taking skills also will be covered. After successfully completing the course, eligible students will take the Institute test.

The course is Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6-8 p.m., January 31-March 23. The cost is $175, and some home study will be required.

To be accepted into the course, registrants must have met one of the following educational criteria:
  • Earned at least 43 semester credit hours toward an Associate of Applied Science degree in mechanical engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, electronics or industrial maintenance, or completed an Associate of Applied Science degree in one of those fields.
  • Completed a certified union apprenticeship.
  • Completed the Navy Nuclear Power Program.
Other technical criteria might apply.

The course is limited to 25 applicants. A resume, college transcript and other supporting documentation, if applicable, should be sent or brought to Business and Community Services, 108 Alexander, no later than January 10. Those who are accepted into the course will be notified by January 27.
