Each college offers top-quality coursework delivered by professional trainers and teachers.

In 2007 alone, UL employees attended more than a quarter of a million training hours through UL University.

ULearn, a new safety engineering program (NSEP)

Newly hired UL engineers participate in a dynamic 11-week training program with a mix of five weeks of classroom work and  six weeks of home office work. The learning format includes e-learning, self-study, simulation, on-the-job experience, and mentoring.

The NSEP program consists of an overview of UL, coupled with focused training covering hazard-based safety engineering, technical requirements, processes and tools, report writing and laboratory procedures.

This program is open to:

• All safety engineers who have been with UL for three months or less
• All project handlers who may be incorporating more engineering responsibilities in their daily activities
• Any UL employee who may be moving to engineering after an absence; even if you have previous experience in the conformity assessment area, the systems and processes at UL are specific and need to be experienced
