Introduction to Overhead Distribution Line Design
A comprehensive online program for electric utility and consulting engineers and designers
Orientation: May 12, 2026 | 10:00-11:00 a.m. MDT
Six Course Sessions: May 13-14, May 20-21 & June 3-4, 2026 | 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. MDT each day
Alltricity Network, in cooperation with Collaborative Learning, Inc. and the Academy for Utility Line Design Professionals, is offering a comprehensive e-learning course that you won’t want to miss! Overhead distribution continues to play an essential role for most utilities in delivering electric service to end-use customers either directly or as the source for underground line extensions. Overhead line design is an engineering discipline that requires the consistent and proper application of engineering principles and ethics to prepare quality designs and reduce liability exposure. Participants in this program will be better able to prepare designs that are safe, reliable, and in compliance with the requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). Participants will also return to their work better prepared to help their organizations adopt design practices that comply with applicable professional engineering laws and regulations. A key part of this program is the in-depth presentation and understanding of engineering principles and their practical application using line design engineering software as a learning tool. Who Should Attend
This course has value for those who work at all levels of overhead distribution line design and should be attended by:
Attendees will receive a certificate for 22.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs).  Course Schedule & Details
