## Who We Are
Motor and Generator Institute was established in 1995 to address a critical gap: the lack of structured, standards-based training for the professionals responsible for maintaining emergency power supply systems.
What began as in-person seminars has grown into two comprehensive online certification programs — built by the same team that shapes the codes governing your work.
- 30+ years of EPSS training — Thousands of professionals certified since 1995.
- Standards-based curriculum — Content aligned with NFPA 110 and NFPA 99, updated to reflect the latest code editions.
- Built by practitioners — Developed by subject matter experts with decades of hands-on emergency power experience.
- Field-tested content — Every lesson, checklist, and exam question reflects real-world EPSS maintenance and compliance.
## How It Works
Enroll individually or request a group quote for your facility. The entire program is completed online.
#### Enroll
Pay online or request an invoice for your facility. Access begins immediately upon payment.
#### Learn
Work through video modules, written content, downloadable checklists, and practice questions at your own pace.
#### Certify
Pass the 50-question open-book exam. Results are immediate. Score 70% or higher to earn the CHEPP® or CEPP® credential.
#### Maintain
Certification is valid for 3 years. Complete the renewal course when it's time to recertify.

## What Our Students Say
Feedback from certified professionals across the country.
*This course is very comprehensive and provides in-depth knowledge of the complexities one will encounter when operating and maintaining an EPSS. I am very grateful that a course such as this is readily available to me.*
Chad
CHEPP
*The course helped me focus and learn the codes for ongoing compliance and necessary preventive maintenance for emergency power. Very important for a healthcare facility director.*
Ronald
CHEPP
*I am proud to earn this designation and look forward to continuing my knowledge, but also help our industry progress and make our facilities safer!*

CHEPP
*I truly enjoyed the training and got a lot out of it using our emergency power supply system here as a template. It has allowed me to push forward changes at our facility.*
Brian
CHEPP
*Great course to gain detailed information on emergency power systems and its related components. This course is a win-win for Facility Managers no matter their level of experience.*
Ronald
CHEPP
*With so many codes to reference that are constantly changing, along with so many requirements that each AHJ enforces, this was a great way to review all pertinent information in one place and to have as a reference in the future.*

## Compliance Forms
#### Ready for the AHJ
Organized by system, sequenced by procedure, and formatted so readings, status, and notes sit side by side — the way a technician in front of a live EPSS needs to see them.
