This two-day, intermediate-level course creates an awareness of the full-scope process involved in right of way acquisition for electrical transmission projects. The course also provides effective techniques for successful negotiations in the process and exposes right of way agents to what their role may be throughout the process. The course also exposes the participants to the idea of “resourcefulness,” so they can recognize a problem when it develops and determine a solution, or know where to go and who to ask for help in finding that solution. The course culminates in a scenario-based, live team challenge where students apply their new skills and develop critical thinking to solve a real world, electrical transmission project crisis.

Upon completion of the course, students will pass a 20 question self-assessment to gauge knowledge transfer.
