Get the Mentor You Need to Become a Relay Testing Craftsman
My name is Chris Werstiuk. I'm an engineer, power system electrician, electrical technologist, and instructor who's spent the last 20 years learning the craft of relay testing through trial and error in nuclear power plants, commercial buildings, and almost everything in between.
I literally wrote the book on relay testing (The Relay Testing Handbook), and I'm here to be the relay testing mentor you should have had from the start.
I'll help you cut the learning curve, so you don't have to spend the years and thousands of hours of testing time I spent learning how to test relays effectively.
"Chris has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience which he shares as he teaches the theory and practical methods of relay testing. These experiences are so valuable whether you are new or an experienced veteran of relay testing..."

Why Online Protective Relay Training?
Most of the time it's just not worth it for a few days of theory and death by PowerPoint.
Our online protective relay training options, on the other hand, are built around practical applications (not PowerPoint), don't require any travel, and are 10 times more affordable than an in-person class.
Nothing to book. No huge expenses to get approved. Just register, hit "play", and you're on your way to effective relay testing. Plus, you get to:
What do students think about our online training courses?

I would recommend these courses to anyone needing continuing education or just wanting to learn more about relays. I learned a lot and look forward to taking more classes from Valence..."

"A different perspective on relay testing, especially since most testing companies use automated testing. It helps you better understand the operation of the relays and how the results were obtained. Not just button pushing..."
Erik Lemke
Senior Field Engineer
"Many people cannot attend a formal classroom training as they may be from very far locations around the world, this training allowed me to gain knowledge and also review when I did not grasp a part of the lesson, also there was the forum to ask questions. I believe that the lessons are well prepared and it was really good that the instructor shared his experiences along the way."

How to Test Protective Relays Online Seminar
"Most of the ‘relay’ problems I have faced were actually human errors instead of equipment errors. Most relay tests would not catch these errors. Examples: Wrong CT/PT ratios, wrong polarity.
This course helped show how testing a relay can also catch human errors in the installation of equipment or wiring and the programming.
This course is unlike any I have ever seen. I have paid ten times the cost to attend training in person, and the training usually covers mostly theory and standards. This course actually shows you how to do real-world relay testing."
