The Westinghouse Solution
Westinghouse is best positioned to provide I&C Services support to help utilities maintain and calibrate their instrumentation and control systems. To enhance these services, Westinghouse has opened a new, state-of-the-art training center to ensure that our technicians are the best-trained and qualified I&C technicians in the market.
Westinghouse technicians undergo a specialized performance-based training and qualification program, uniquely tailored to ensure high proficiency. This program adheres to EPRI standards and is recognized as equivalent to various utility training programs. As a result, our technicians can operate autonomously without the need for utility supervision, significantly reducing both time and cost associated with on-boarding training and qualification requirements.
Training Center Description
The new Westinghouse I&C Services training center is located at our Waltz Mill East Site in Madison, PA. It is housed in the ED building in a secured location.
The training is provided by experienced instructors who offer guidance and mentorship.
