Online training in the electrical market ranges from simple how-to videos to interactive training courses replicating in-person training sessions. Safety is an important and popular topic. The AVO Training Institute, Dallas, has provided electrical maintenance and safety training since 1963 and began online training in 2015. AVO offers more than 50 hands-on courses at locations throughout the United States and around the world, including on-site classes at companies' and organizations' locations, said Ralph Parrett, training director. "We also develop custom programs and have about a dozen electrical certifications," Parrett said. Parrett said AVO offers live, virtual courses that cover numerous areas, including protective relay, electrical safety for utilities and industrial facilities, low-voltage circuit breakers, grounding and bonding, substation components, testing and interpretation. COVID-19 has affected the demand for online training and its content.
