If you are a smaller municipal utility or co-op without 24 people for a class, have a utility association to which your utility belongs sponsor the class. If the association cannot, we have two recommendations. One is to contact neighboring utilities and determine their interest in jointly sponsoring a class. The second is to email PTS@utilitytraining.net and request a list of other associations who are conducting a class. PTS will provide links to the associations for any classes that are currently scheduled.
