Power Plant Operation

Target Group

Plant attendant training is the entry-level training stage for power plant operating personnel. It is designed to give novices an overview of how power plant technology works.

According to Sec. 8 of Germany’s Operational Safety Ordinance, businesses are required to take all necessary measures to make sure that all potentially hazardous tools and supplies (such as steam generators or turbines) are operated only by qualified personnel.

Fully trained plant attendants meet the legal requirements for such duties. They are qualified to supervise and service the equipment assigned to them, to report equipment malfunctions and incidents to authorized higher level personnel appointed by the operator of the plant, and to shut down such equipment in case of possible health and safety hazards to other employees or third parties caused by malfunctions.

Plant attendant training offers every employee the opportunity to move up to get advanced training as power plant operator or even power plant shift supervisor. Beyond that, plant attendant training offers the student another indispensable commodity: Confidence. Trainees learn to assess technical situations as well as their own capabilities, laying the groundwork for continuous development of both their professional skills and their personalities.
