Bill Foley, Vice President, PTT, Inc., joined the Navy
in 1977. He spent two years during his tour of duty as an Instructor at one of
the Navy Prototype facilities. He was honorably discharged after eight years
of service and went to work in the commercial nuclear power industry. He has
successfully completed Senior Reactor Operator certifications for both CE and
Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors and has been a Training Instructor
since 1989. Bill has taught both non-licensed and licensed training in both
Classroom and Simulator settings. |
His specialty is the development of training materials using some of the Microsoft Office processes he personally developed.
- He has created computer-based training modules that utilize Microsoft PowerPoint that can automate a variety of training topics. To learn about this process, click the CBT Development link.
- He has also created an automated way of taking a system training manual (or system description) file using Microsoft Word and creating any level of training that the document might be used for. For example, by bookmarking certain parts of the document, you can have one file that can provide a Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced handout. This process can also be used to create Non-Licensed Initial, Non-Licensed Requal, Licensed Initial, or Licensed Requal handouts. To learn more about how this process can streamline your training costs and maintenance, click the Material Development link.
Our company provides personnel that are certified to teach SRO training
at both Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering plants. This experience includes both classroom
and simulator training for all facets of Operations or Instructor Training.
Classroom Training: We particularly specialize in training on systems, theory, and
emergency operating procedures, utilizing the latest enhanced learning techniques. This learning
is especially enhanced by our development skills regarding the use of colored graphics
(especially the use of 11 x 17 "paper-brains"), PowerPoint, and other techniques recognized in
TQ-505.
Simulator Training: We specialize in the concept of facilitative learning in simulator
training. We place the focus on the crew's ability to critique themselves, resulting in greater
buy-in. All of our instructors have been through Advanced Simulator Instructor Training.
Teamskills Training: We are also INPO Certified Control Room Teamwork Development
(CRTD) instructors. We have facilitated Team skills training at both the Operators level as well
as the plant supervision level. These soft skill abilities are key in enhancing our ability to
effectively provide all facets of classroom and simulator training.
Instructor Training: We are also highly qualified to train your instructors in the
effective delivery of training. This qualification ranges from the computer skills necessary to
develop good "developers", to the soft skills to learn good facilitative techniques, to basic
instructor skills necessary to provide training in the adult environment.
Improved Tech Specs Training: We are also experienced in the development and
presentation of material associated with the conversion to Improved Tech Specs. This training
includes accelerated training techniques such as PowerPoint presentations, use of case study
scenarios, and custom examinations to ensure understanding of Improved Tech Specs prior to
implementation.
