The Calpine team attended the introduction to Grounding and Earthing course provided by E&S Grounding Solutions. The course comprised of two online sessions of two hours each. The presenters David and Jeffrey have a very relaxed style that engaged the team to participate and ask questions. The course covers the basic concepts of grounding and is a good introduction to subject. The presenters develop the concepts throughout the presentation which helps in the understanding of this complex topic. I recommend this course for people of all technical abilities who want to gain an understanding of the basics of Grounding & Earthing.

The Petro Guardian team recently had the opportunity to bring in the E&S Grounding Solutions team for training and we appreciated the flexibility their course offered. The E&S team adapted their curriculum to meet our unique needs, which kept our group engaged and attentive throughout the entire class. They were able to take advanced subject matter, like 3-point fall-of potential and ground loop testing, and present it in a way that was understandable by employees no matter what their experience level may have been. My team and I would highly recommend the E&S Grounding Solutions team and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
