This special 5-day seminar provides an indepth, comprehensive learning and problemsolving forum for those who want a broader
understanding of the latest energy cost reduction techniques and strategies. The program
begins by examining the basic fundamentals
within all key areas of energy management.

move to a “working level” knowledge of the
specific principles and techniques needed to
really get the job done. This approach has
been specially designed to fulfill the needs of
professionals who seek a broader and more
detailed learning experience than can be provided in AEE’s shorter courses. Following the
morning’s instruction on day 5, the Certified
Energy Manager (CEM) exam will be administered to those seminar participants who have

ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This experiential training seminar is designed to
provide managers and team leaders with a
clearer understanding of fundamental management strategies and how most successfully and
effectively to apply them for optimum results.
Its purpose is to strengthen a manager’s ability
to lead professional teams collaboratively using
a relationship-based process. Going beyond the
old, ineffective top-down model, the new model
presented is intended to show managers how to
utilize a more personal and effective management paradigm to grow morale, promote productivity and deliver greater profitability. These
techniques facilitate the strengthening of essential communication skills, and show participants how the resulting improved morale can
have a significant impact on achieving greater
productivity, improved profitability, and a generally more positive corporate culture. Participants will leave this program with the tools
needed to utilize better management skills, as
well as an improved ability to get work done
through others, and to achieve corporate, project and team goals.

they choose. After registering for a course, the student receives a downloadable course workbook which provides the training materials. Following completion, each course requires the submission and successful passing of a
short quiz online in order to earn CEU, PDH and AEE credits and receive a
certification of completion.

AEE 2017 CATALOG OF SEMINARS — ON DEMAND TRAINING
AEE In-House Seminar Programs
Most of the live seminar programs described in this
catalog can also be arranged to be instructed on an
in-house basis at your facility. Contact the In-House
Program Manager for further information or to
arrange a program for your organization.
ADVANTAGES OF IN-HOUSE TRAINING.
• Lower overall training costs
• Decrease employee travel expenses and out of office time
• Maximize productivity and bolster team learning
Most companies realize the importance of keeping key personnel up to
speed on the latest developments in the energy field which impact their
decisions. However, having an entire team exposed to the same body of
instruction at the same time has the added benefit of motivating everyone to work together to accomplish specific goals. In-house programs
have a proven track record of promoting cooperation, involvement, and
results-oriented attitudes.
In addition, by having a seminar conducted in-house, you can work with
the course instructor to assure greatest emphasis on those areas most
relevant to your operations and goals. Questions can often be answered in
greater detail than is possible in a seminar whose participants come from
many companies.
COST ADVANTAGES OF IN-HOUSE TRAINING.
You can train up to 20 members of your staff for one flat fee, or a specified fee for each additional student — AND you won’t have to pay your
employees’ travel costs, nor lose their valuable work time before and
after the seminar.
CONTACT AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM
MANAGER FOR DETAILS.
To discuss your in-house training needs, and for a detailed quote covering
applicable seminar fees and cost information, please contact one of our
In-House Program Managers directly. All arrangements with the instructor are handled by the In-House Program Manager. Your organization is
responsible for providing a suitable location for instruction and for furnishing audiovisual equipment as specified by the instructor. AEE will
provide each seminar participant with a course workbook.

P.E. License Renewal Training
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS:
Complete Your Continuing Education Requirements
by Attending an AEE Seminar
More than 40 states now require Professional Development Hours (PDH or CEU)
for renewing professional engineers’ licenses. Other states, which presently do not
have requirements, are considering adding professional training requirements for
P.E. renewal in the future. Professional engineers should contact the appropriate
State Board of Professional Licensing to obtain the latest requirements.
As a nonprofit professional society, AEE is automatically approved as a continuing
education provider in most states. State boards which have assigned aee specific
provider number include New York (No. 11), Florida (No. EXP00038), and North
Carolina (No. S-0327). You should always verify any provider’s status with your
own state board. AEE will furnish each seminar participant with a Certificate of
Completion indicating the CEU earned and the course taken.
AEE Training Partnerships
