Thank you for visiting the TVPPA Education & Training Services webpage. E&T Services maintains a comprehensive selection of utility-specific professional management and technical training programs for utility employees. TVPPA conducts training at regional locations and on-site.
The mission of the Education & Training Committee, a standing committee of the TVPPA Board of Directors, is to provide guidance and oversight to TVPPA in the development and delivery of nationally recognized education and training opportunities to meet current and future electric utility workforce needs.

We continue to get many questions about the revised LAP and the changes between programs. In response, we have put together a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet. Click here to download the PDF.
