Institute for Safety in Powerline Construction
Online Courses

ISPC offers a comprehensive set of online courses available to individual members through its partner at T&D PowerSkills, LLC. Training curricula can be customized to suit the individual student’s needs, but generally follow the recommended ISPC Career Track Model. Although the full program includes a skill-based component and requires a journeyman level Lineman to help the student complete the Field Performance Requirements (FPR’s) checklists, students can enroll in lineman training courses covering a wide range of topics.

Students select a minimum of 6 units per order, and will have 60 days for each course to complete each unit online.
