High-voltage training is available from AEP, and typically includes work from 40kV through 765kV. Transmission courses vary from one-day specialized training to five-day skill-level programs.

Training for Transmission line workers is divided into a series of modules, beginning with the D series (apprentice) and ending with the A series (journeyman). Students will attend a one-week session about every six months. This allows the student to develop a particular skill prior to the next level of training.

Training is a compilation of classroom and field-oriented instruction. Students are required to pass a written evaluation as well as a competency skill demonstration to successfully complete each course.
