Siemens System OPERATOR Training (SSOT) Course Descriptions
As of October 1, 2008, our U.S. business is called Siemens Energy, Inc.
Description
Siemens System Operator Training (SSOT) courses are specifically designed to aid power system operators and related operations staff in preparing for the NERC Certification Exams. These courses are delivered via the Internet and launched from Siemens Power Academy TD – NA, through our new Learning Management System (LMS).
PracTest™ 2006
Registered SSOT students may take PracTest™ 2006 practice exams. These are exams designed to be taken multiple times, since the questions are chosen at random, and no two exams are alike. Students can also track their performance as they prepare for NERC Certification.
All questions in PracTest™ 2006 are multiple-choice with four possible answers and only one correct choice. Questions are of two basic types:
Standards-related Question: A standards-related question asks the user to remember specific rules and standards. In the feedback to each question, the user has the option of branching to the exact location in the operating manual from which the question was derived.
Operations-related Question: An operations-related question tests the user’s ability to apply general concepts of interconnected system operation. Since the answer to this type of question is not found explicitly in the operating manual, the feedback identifies the standard to which the question relates and encourages the user to browse the manual for additional information.
