Our electricity market courses are widely recognised as the most comprehensive in their subject areas, using market simulations, informative exercises and video. Our expert trainer Greg Sise has presented training courses since 1997, and offers in-depth and current insights in every course.

We will continue to offer facilitated face-to-face training in Dunedin in October, with the next round of courses in Dunedin, from 13th to 15th October 2020.

We also tailor in-house training designed to meet your organisation's specific needs for up-skilling in any area relevant to the market and pricing aspects of the electricity sector including wholesale, retail, hedge, frequency keeping and reserves markets, distribution and transmission pricing, electricity and gas procurement. We now also offer online versions of the courses for groups.

Regent Theatre, the Octagon

Our public courses in Dunedin are run at our offices in historic Consultancy House, New Zealand's first reinforced concrete 'skyscraper'. Flights have not returned to the "old normal" as yet, but we expect schedules in and out of Dunedin to continue improving as we move back to Level 1 alert status. Several hotels are within easy walking distance from our offices.

The Energy Procurement for Businesscourse is run in conjunction with EMANZ and is intended for larger consumers of electricity, to develop skills and knowledge relevant to purchasing electricity and gas.   Read more >>
