Courses
Course identifiers and numbers. Our courses are grouped by course identifiers and leveling numbers allowing you to easily navigate
courses in a specific subject area. Need help finding the right course? Our staff will be happy to help you find training that meets your
experience level and learning objectives. We can also provide guidance on building progressive training plans that will address your
career development goals and objectives. Our course identifiers are categorized as follows:
Certifications
Siemens Power Academy Certifications are a great way for engineering professionals to validate skills and demonstrate knowledge
and proficiencies in a competitive landscape. Our certifications also provide a means of common measurement for evaluating that
knowledge. The mission of Siemens Power Academy Certification is to provide a reliable, valid and valued model of training power
system engineers. Provide a fair, repeatable and consistent method of assessing skills and knowledge. Develop a community of
professionals who understand the need for certification in the power system.
About the program
With the pace of change in todays energy landscape, continued skill development and knowledge acquisition provides the footing for
the continuous journey of becoming a trusted resource. To guide you in this journey, our certification programs combine
requirements of training/education, experience and validation. These certifications create training roadmaps that assist both learner
and employer with faster onboarding of new hires, provide solid milestones for employee development plans and serve as a
mechanism for knowledge transfer and succession planning. Siemens Power Academy TD has developed Associate, Advanced and
Expert Certifications, which may be earned in the three curriculums described in the following section. For each certification level,
students must complete several required courses, and also complete a specified number of electives in their area of interest. More so
than a series of individual courses, these progressive certification programs ensure foundational knowledge acquisition and
overcome specific knowledge gaps. Students progress from understanding and performing technical tasks at the Associate level to
independent analysis at the Advanced level, and culminate at the Expert level certification with synthesis and evaluation of abstract
concepts, and judgment about information and validity of ideas. If you are seeking certification, please speak with one of our
education staff coordinators. Together, we will identify which certification program is right for you. To map out your plan to
successful completion of the certification requirements, we will review our course offerings, as well as your work experience and
testing requirements. Once your training roadmap is planned, you can enroll in your first course and begin training. Course testing
can be scheduled up to six months after your completion of the course. All testing is completed through our online learning
management system and grades are provided in a formal transcript. Upon successful completion, you enroll in your next course and
continue this process until all requirements are met.

The Associate Certification course series

engages students, in their first few years
of employment, in coursework that is
essential for new engineers in the
practical application of theory, in
software training for productivity and in
coursework that assists engineers
transferring from mechanical or civil
engineering. Upon completion of the
required coursework and assessments,
the participant should be able to perform
technical tasks under direction, and
translate, interpret and extrapolate key
concepts, methodologies, principles,
theories and industry practices. The
Associate level certification will position
candidates for advancement and ready
them for more challenging work
assignments as they develop in the
industry. It is anticipated that completion
of this coursework will take one to three
years.

The Advanced Certification requires the

completion of Associate level certification
and demonstrated industry experience.
Candidates for the Advanced certification
level will be able to demonstrate four to
eight years of experience in their area of
study. Students may be pre-tested or
provide examples of their knowledge/
experience to verify their readiness for
these advanced level courses. Upon
completion of the required coursework
and assessments, the participant should
be able to independently solve problems
by applying principles and acquired
knowledge. It is anticipated that
completion of this coursework will span
several years.

The Expert Certification requires the

completion of Advanced level
certification and demonstrated industry
experience. Candidates for the Expert
certification level will be able to
demonstrate nine to 12 years of
experience in their area of study.
Students may be pre-tested or provide
examples of their knowledge/experience
to verify their readiness for these expert
level courses. Upon completion of the
required coursework and assessments,
the participant should be able to perform
complex technical tasks independently
and advise others on the performance of
these tasks, as well as be able to
evaluate, synthesize and communicate
abstract concepts and make judgments
about information and validity of ideas. It
is anticipated that completion of this
coursework will span several years.
