About Us

In 1963, Multi-Amp (now known as Megger^®) created Multi-Amp Institute to provide electrical training. The division was incorporated in 1968.

Our team of instructors and support staff expanded as we met the changes in electrical regulations and resulting increase in industry needs.

Our director, Dennis K. Neitzel, CPE, Principal Committee Member for the NFPA 70E, Senior Member of the IEEE, and Working Group Chairman for IEEE Std. 902, joined the team in 1989. Dennis’ leadership in electrical safety regulations has made AVO among the first to know of changes that effect electrical facilities.

As time passed, we recognized the convenience for students to be able to purchase books, tools, personal protective equipment and accessories used by our instructors. The Technical Resource Center has been located in the Dallas Corporate Learning Center since 1995.

AVO has been ISO 9001 certified to provide technical training since 1996.

The 2000 edition of NFPA 70E, requiring Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis at all electrical facilities, prompted the creation of AVO’s Electrical Engineering Division.

In 2004 our name became AVO Training Institute, Inc.

For over 45 years, AVO Training Institute has been providing the tools to make your electrical system safe and reliable. As your requirements have changed, we have changed too. Learn more about each of AVO’s four unique divisions.
