Four Different Tracks of Course Instruction:

  1. Basic

    Designed for those with minimal metering experience, this course includes basic instructions in applied metering principles. 

  2. Intermediate

    This course is intended for students who have completed the Basic course or those who have had considerable metering experience. 

  3. Build Your Own Course: Track A and Track B 
    This year you will be able to Build Your Own Course. We will have two tracks from which to choose. So, when you register, you may pick a class from Track A in one time slot and a class from Track B in a different time slot. Please go to Schedules | Arkansas Electric Meter School | University of Arkansas to see how these tracks line out and a description of each class. When you go to register, that is where you will choose what classes you want. Please be careful to not pick 2 classes in the same time slots. If your first choice of class is not available, you will need to choose the other option in that time slot. If you have any questions, please email melindap@uark.edu. 

Participants can earn up to 2.0 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) for the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Premier courses. The CEU is a nationally recognized standard used to qualify non-credit learning experiences. A certificate will be issued by the University of Arkansas, and a permanent record will be maintained for each participant that chooses to receive CEU credit. Certificates will be issued only to participants who complete the entire course and have paid the additional fee for processing credit and certificate.
