New Electric Utility Accounting Professional Learning Path

Very good overview of the introduction to the electricity business. I just recently started a job with a utility and am taking some courses to learn as much as possible about the electricity industry. Will definitely be taking another course through utilityeducation.com

FERC Construction Accounting

The title is a great description of the course materials. Very informative course!

Great course!

I came looking for an introduction to utilities course and I'm glad I took this one. Russ was great and explained everything really well. It was great learning from someone who has actually been in the industry and knows about both the finance and utility sectors. I will be taking more courses!

Kritant

Great course on learning construction accounting!

I did not have a lot of knowledge about utility construction accounting or standard units, but this course was a good overview of the process and very understandable to a newbie.

Matt

The title says it all!

I thought the text was simple and direct to the talking points. I was able to follow clearly and to jot down specific key words that reinforced the text in the presentation.
