PWEN 220 - Power Engineering Fourth Class

Course Description
If you wish to work with high pressure boilers, you need to obtain your Power Engineering Fourth Class Certification. This can be achieved by taking Power Engineering Fourth Class Part A and Part B in the class room or online by Distance Learning. There are two Parts. Part A must be completed in order to write your Government Part A exam. Part B must be completed in order to write your Government Part B exam. For full government certification as a Fourth Class Power Engineer, you must also have 6 months of related work experience in the field or successfully complete our Power Engineering Fourth Class 200 Hours Lab.
