Our Philosophy

The National Association of Power Engineers is dedicated to the purpose of education and supports the following:

“This Association shall not be used for the purpose of interfering in any way between its members and their employers, recognizing the identity of interests between employer and employee, and shall not support any project or enterprise that will interfere with the harmony between them.

Neither shall it be used for political or religious purposes. Its meetings shall be devoted to the education of engineers in all of its various branches and to the business of the Association. Members pledge to secure and enforce engineering license laws to prevent the destruction of life and property in the generation and transmission of power.”

Many dream of doing great things, engineers do them.

Can’t fit those long seminars and traditional classes into your busy life?

With the field of Power Engineering constantly advancing with new technological developments and environmentally conscious regulations, you need to update and refresh your training periodically to stay current and competitive… If you want to advance in your career you’ll need brand new training and skills. 

But you’re already busy in your work life, have responsibilities, and need to take a few breaths for yourself on the weekend before it’s over… right?

Locking up a few days to attend a seminar or setting aside a few days a week [for months at a time] to attend traditional classes may just not be possible… and we get it! That’s why NAPE training, certifications, designations, and supplemental materials are entirely self-paced. You decide when to study and when you’ll log-in based on your schedule… We provide the material and the online-learning environment, but YOU possess the power to choose when to use it!

When you are ready to begin…

Do you need to discuss with your employer before proceeding? We’re here for you; N.A.P.E. is more than happy to speak with you, or anyone who may sponsor you about obtaining your education, training, certification, etc. We’ll be here when you’re ready…At N.A.P.E. we pride ourselves in having everything you need to excel in your field.™
