Text Materials

PanGlobal Power Engineering Training Systems learning materials are the result of multi-stakeholder collaboration. Our learning materials exist through the approval of third-party certification bodies that approve the content and the appropriateness of the learning objectives in meeting the standards for each level of certification. This defines learning pathways, whereby the needs for professional development and mid-career upgrading can be clearly identified and acted upon.

Before publication, our content must be validated to ensure it meets or exceeds the knowledge requirements of the certification syllabi. Then a review process is conducted by representatives of more than 40 post-secondary educational institutions from across North America. Finally, our content must pass a review committee, composed of practicing Power Engineers from various industries. Our content is ready for publication and delivery to learners only after completion of this exhaustive, but collaborative development cycle.

Our Basic Products are text-based compilations of learning materials in a book format, which provide learners the knowledge necessary to successfully challenge certification examinations for each level of Canada's national Power Engineering Certification program (5th Class, 4th Class, 3rd Class, 2nd Class and 1st Class).

The value of these base materials is two-fold. First, they stand alone as the standard study materials for the national Power Engineering profession. Second, custom compilations from the basic content are recognized as appropriate for regional certifications and/or as topic-specific textbooks, custom designed for use by educators.

Online Learning Resources

Learning Management System (LMS)

We use the Moodle platform to deliver online learning support. Moodle is a full-featured, open source LMS offering full functionality to the instructor, including the ability to monitor learner activity, create and review learner assessments, adjust content and media, and moderate online class discussion forums.

Supplementary Media Resources & Learning Activities

Many learners find concepts easier to grasp when presented with alternate means of explanation. Based on instructor feedback, we have produced hundreds of supplementary media pieces (videos, animations, 3D images) to assist learner understanding. Also, there are dozens of Interactive Learning Activities available. Licensed Educators and Corporate trainers can choose the resources that apply to their learning solution and can add their own resources as appropriate.

Assessment Banks

PanGlobal content addresses over 2300 learning objectives at 5 levels of occupational knowledge. Each outcome is aligned to a number of assessment questions, which are then validated by appropriate industry professionals. Some of these questions are available to learners as a self-assessment tool, but the majority only accessible to instructors for formal examinations. Instructors can, of course, add their own assessment questions.

Continuous Training Units (CTU's)

Several jurisdictions have continuing educational requirements for their licensed professionals. The CTU is an ideal program to supply this training to your staff. Taken from our complete Body of Knowledge, the CTU offers individual learning objectives, complete with content, media and assessment, which specifically targets the learning topic at the appropriate level.

Ancillary Learning Products

PanGlobal covers the Occupational Body of Knowledge with over 2300 learning objectives in almost 400 chapters at 5 distinct Certification Levels. Some learners will require additional assistance beyond this base content to master specific concepts or to gain proficiency in their calculation skills. Drawing on over a decade of recommendations from Educators, Certifying Bodies and Industry we have designed ancillary products to assist learners with specific but common challenges.

Our ancillary learning materials contain content validated to the same degree as our materials directly adressing Body of Knowledge based Certifications. These include workbooks and occupational task logbooks.
