Meter School offers participants valuable technical training and hands-on work with electric metering equipment.
To ensure an optimal educational experience, participants select their preferred class level—Basic/Intermediate or Advanced.
A Pre-Conference is also held in conjunction with the School. The Pre-Conference is an ideal refresher course on basic metering, or introductory course for those with little metering experience.
For maximum benefit, consider registering for both the Pre-Conference and Meter School.
The Basic/Intermediate class is aimed at personnel with little experience with electric meters. Training builds on the Pre-Conference, and will include more hands-on training.
The Advanced class is intended for those who have a good working knowledge of meters/metering and offers in-depth instruction on the "ins and outs" of meters/metering.
