About us

ElecTrain™

ElecTrain was founded in 2017. Our primary mission is to improve safety through knowledge and performance. ElecTrain was established to provide the training and consulting to support organizations that do not have the resources or experience to provide their own. We pride ourselves with engaging students, providing meaningful training, and meeting the electrical safety needs of our customers.

Our experienced instructors have helped improve electrical safety in our industry and continue to support by participating in technical committees for electrical safety standards, electrical safety programs, and forums such as EFCOG Electrical Safety Task Group and IEEE Electrical Safety Workshop. Our quality of training and service has been proven time and time again through customer testimonials and student feedback. We continue to hold ourselves to a higher standard and hope to raise the bar for electrical training across the industry.
