ABOUT MOTOR AND GENERATOR INSTITUTE

The training resource built for the people behind every emergency power system.

We advocate for the facility professionals responsible for EPSS reliability — with practical, standards-based training built for the way the work actually gets done.

HOW WE ADVOCATE FOR YOU

Training around the realities of the job.

Practical training built by practitioners

Our curriculum is developed by subject matter experts with decades of hands-on experience maintaining and testing EPSS in hospitals, data centers, and critical facilities — not by consultants reading from the codebook.

Tools you'll use every day

Downloadable weekly and monthly inspection forms, maintenance logs, and reference materials — the kind of practical deliverables that make a real EPSS program work.

Standards translated into operations

NFPA 110, NFPA 111, NFPA 99, and related codes tell you what is required. MGI training tells you how to actually implement it in your facility — with the procedures, forms, and documentation inspectors expect to see.

Credentials that validate your expertise

Our programs recognize the knowledge and competence facility professionals use on the job, giving you a credential that carries weight with leadership, inspectors, and peers.

Online, self-paced, on your schedule

Facility work doesn't stop for training. Our programs are built around the reality of shift schedules, on-call duties, and competing priorities — so you can move through the material when and where it fits your day.

WHO WE SERVE

The professionals who keep emergency power ready.

Every emergency power system has a team of people responsible for keeping it ready. They're the facility managers, plant operators, maintenance technicians, and engineers who get the call when the grid fails. They run the monthly tests, sign the inspection forms, face the inspectors, and stand behind the system when lives and operations depend on it.


For more than three decades, MGI has existed to serve them.
