Course Description:
The course involves the discussion
of the program
interface. Management of multiple scenarios with scenario manager is
covered. Demand Load, Sizing, Load Flow, Short Circuit, Load Schedules,
Captor and Equipment Evaluation calculation procedures are then reviewed.
Other topics that will be covered are the efficient management and use
of equipment libraries, reporting options and customized output forms,
import/export capabilities, merging multiple projects, as well as
custom queries and user-defined fields. Students will earn 2.4 CEUs for
this course.

Web-Based Live Training - This online training will
be conducted live by a senior SKM engineer and other SKM engineers will
be available via chat or phone to assist with questions. The same
level of instruction, content, and practice projects will still be
covered as we normally do. Software
activation details will be provided as we get closer to the
class. A hardcopy training manual will be shipped about 10 days
before the first day of class. Student within the continental US
qualify for free shipping (UPS) of the hardcopy student manual.
Students outside of the US are responsible for delivery fees and duties
and/or customs fees.
Live online training will be conducted using the GoToTraining platform.
We recommend using a Chrome browser for the instant join feature
without having to download and install extra software. Consider a
dual-monitor setup so that you can view the instructor’s screen while
performing hands-on exercises. Alternatively, you can join the meeting
on a tablet using GoToTraining’s app or use another computer next to
you.
