To respond to current health and safety concerns regarding Covid-19, the PTCS team developed live virtual PTCS Certification Trainings to avoid in-person contact. The field-training portion will be completed following the virtual training for each technician through two-way video chats. This process has allowed us to provide safer trainings, potentially minimize technician travel, and accommodate more technicians from around the region. These Certification Trainings have historically been hosted by utilities in person and they will become available again when it is safe to do so. Benton Rural Electric Association and Cowlitz PUD successfully hosted the first virtual PTCS air source heat pump and duct sealing certification classes in the past few weeks.
