Energy Industry Fundamentals Course (EIF) was designed and developed by the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD). The course includes business models, regulations, types of energy and their conversion to useable energy such as electric power, how generated power is transmitted and distributed to the point of use, emerging technologies, and the connection to careers in the energy industry. Students who take the full course and pass a comprehensive assessment at the end of the program are eligible to receive an Energy Industry Fundamentals Certificate, a credential developed by and for the energy industry. The certificate program has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) through CEWD.
