NAPE engineering courses teach students what they need to know to be safe and competent in a boiler room as well as any setting involving the consumption of steam. This class is tailored for students to successfully acquire a 3rd grade Stationary Engineering license when testing with the City of Omaha.
The City of Omaha Stationary Engineer licensing tests are viewed as among the toughest in the country. They cover all aspects of boiler room operations and especially personal safety. Therefore our courses highlight:

*The City requires provable job experience with operating boilers and related equipment before you can test for your operating license. To test with the City of Omaha for a 3rd grade operating license you are required to have 1 year of experience before testing, to test for a 2rd grade operating license you are required to have 3 years of experience before testing and to test for a 1st grade operating license you are required to have 5 years of experience before testing.
We have had people take our classes with no intention of testing with the City but to gain the knowledge that comes from digging into the textbooks and being able to have their questions answered in relative detail.
NAPE courses are highly recommended by our past students. The information taught is up to date and accurate. The instructors are in the business they teach and are mentored by the best in Omaha through our membership.
