Meter Reader Training
Pre-technical and skill-specific training for novice and experienced meter readers.
Make sure your employees get the instruction and hands-on experience they need for on-the-job success as a professional Meter Reader. Developed for both an apprenticeship and skill development program, the print-based curriculum begins with mathematics courses on how to perform essential electrical calculations. Progressing into skill-specific courseware, trainees learn about AC and DC theory, then gain a working knowledge on components, equipment, and electrical power distribution systems.
Customize the curriculum according to the requirements of specific Meter Reader positions in your organization: Electrical Meter Reader, Meter Technician, or Relay and Meter Reader Specialist. And further their career potential with supplemental on-the-job training opportunities. Students who successfully complete the Meter Reader program can :
- Perform calculations using algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
