The Spring 2012 Basic Power Lineworker course just finished up and the students did an excellent job. Watch their Pole Top Rescue video below and click here to see the pics. The Summer Basic Power Lineworker Program kicked off their online supplements on April 26, 2012 and is closed to registration. The May 30-31 testing will be the first testing specifically for the fall class. This testing is full, so contact us to get on the waiting list and/or to be put on the July 17-18th list. The fall class is full (dependent on testing results, etc), so contact us immediately if you are interested in being put on the waiting list. There will likely be a seat for one or two more students after all is said and done.
