I used to think that I knew electric motors a lot having been maintenance engineer for sometime and received energy management training in the past. With this training I realized thatthere was still a lot to learn about electric motors, their applications and energy- efficiencyimprovement.

These trainings overlap. If you do one you get an appetite for the next. One needs to pay attention in class. Open book tests are the hardest tests l have ever had. These trainings are very useful.

MSO training was enlightening on the impact of motors in a system and yet this tends to beoverlooked. The emphasis of systems thinking is valuable in putting audits and efficiencyprojects in proper perspective.

The Program was very relevant to my work in standards and labelling for appliances, of which some consist of electric motors. Discussions allowed for valuable exchanges of experiences
with motors amongst trainees representing a variety of sectors which was very intriguing. The systems thinking promoted throughout the course was also crucial to a value-chain approach to policy making. I really enjoyed it and certainly gained new knowledge.

Practical experience and examples that the trainer shared help a lot in understanding the concept
