Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) Program

A practical 3-day program for organizations that need safer, more capable, and better-qualified electrical, maintenance, operations, and facilities personnel.

Built for Real Organizations and Real Electrical Work

The QEW Program helps organizations strengthen electrical safety, reduce incidents, improve troubleshooting skills, protect people, and support reliable operations across industrial, commercial, municipal, logistics, manufacturing, utility, transportation, data center, and facilities environments.

Work Safely Follow OSHA and NFPA 70E-based safe work practices.
Protect People Reduce incidents through practical hazard recognition and safe work habits.
Protect Systems Improve maintenance, troubleshooting, and equipment reliability.
Document Competency Support workforce qualification through training, evaluation, and practical exercises.
Program Overview

Three Core Training Modules

This program combines electrical safety, lockout/tagout, facility electrical basics, and industrial controls troubleshooting into one structured workforce development path.

Classes may be delivered as a complete 3-day program or as individual modular courses based on the needs of the organization.

QEW Philosophy: Qualification is not based on attendance alone. The program combines safety knowledge, technical understanding, practical exercises, and evaluation activities.

Hands-On and Simulator-Based Learning

Practical Training Without Unnecessary Risk

Electrical Trainers uses instructor-led demonstrations, guided exercises, electrical training simulators, diagrams, scenarios, and troubleshooting activities to build practical skill and decision-making.

Training Method: Students apply concepts through controlled exercises such as hazard recognition, LOTO decision-making, meter use, circuit interpretation, fault diagnosis, and industrial controls troubleshooting scenarios.

Delivery Options

The QEW Program can be delivered as a complete 3-day private onsite class, modular one-day classes, or customized training for specific equipment, departments, or operational risks.

Training can be adapted for manufacturing, municipal operations, logistics, utilities, data centers, transportation, industrial facilities, commercial facilities, and maintenance organizations.
