Training for Reliability: Building a Stronger Power System Workforce
Just as elite athletes train to perform under pressure, electric power testing and maintenance professionals must prepare to meet the demands of a grid that never sleeps. In both fields, success depends on discipline, precision, and continuous development. For technicians and engineers responsible for substation maintenance and protection testing, training isn’t optional—it’s foundational investment in their careers.
Doble understands this. For decades, Doble Engineering has supported the electric power industry not only with trusted diagnostic tools, but with training programs that help build the skills necessary to test safely, prevent failures, interpret complex data, and maintain system reliability.
Training That Strengthens Performance
The risks of missing something during power system testing have consequences. An improperly set relay can lead to misoperations. Inaccurate transformer diagnostics can result in costly outages.
Doble’s Protection Theory & Testing courses teach fundamental to advanced subjects that include Protection Suite and RTS, including real-world examples using both software hands-on. Doble’s Laboratory Diagnostics courses train participants to interpret oil results to identify emerging faults in transformers, load tap changers, and circuit breakers before they escalate.
All Doble training courses initially focus on understanding the theory behind the test, providing a strong foundation on which to build. Courses are applicable to anyone who needs a deeper understanding of apparatus testing and diagnostic analysis as part of their job ensuring power system components and maintenance programs operate as intended.
Customized Coaching for Your Team
Just as athletes benefit from personalized coaching, power system test and maintenance teams thrive with tailored instruction. Doble offers customized onsite training that aligns with your equipment and operational needs. These sessions can combine classroom learning with field testing, allowing teams to apply knowledge directly to equipment and systems they use in their operations.
For organizations needing self-paced learning, the MyDoble platform offers videos and other course content on-demand. Both new hires and experienced workers can accomplish learning objectives on their own schedule whether to stay current with advancements in test and diagnostic technologies or grow into new roles as stages in their careers change.
Workforce Development for a Changing Grid
The pace and scale of changes underway in the electric power industry are unprecedented. As new technologies emerge and seasoned professionals retire, the need for skilled, confident technicians and engineers grows. Doble’s training programs are designed to meet this moment, helping companies build resilient teams that can adapt, respond, and lead.
Reliability Starts with Readiness
Training for reliability means preparing your workforce to meet challenges head-on. Doble’s education programs are more than instructional, they’re strategic investments in safety, performance, and long-term success.
