In today’s nuclear power industry, effective workforce training is more important than ever. Organizations need solutions that not only meet rigorous industry standards but also streamline implementation, reduce instructor workload, and ensure student success. 

The NEXA® (Nuclear Excellence Academy) Maintenance & Technical (M&T) curriculum delivers exactly that—a turnkey, systematic training program that prepares nuclear professionals with the knowledge and confidence to succeed.

A Systematic, Student-Centered Approach 

Built on ACAD standards and a Systematic Approach to Training (SAT), the NEXA® M&T curriculum offers a comprehensive, online learning platform with objective-driven content and student-focused delivery. Training is structured in progressive tiers:

• Tier 0 – Common Fundamentals Establishes core knowledge in orientation, safety, and fundamental sciences. This ensures every student begins with a strong foundation. 

• Tier 1 – Discipline-Specific Training Builds upon fundamentals with targeted knowledge of systems, components, and work activities—helping professionals gain mastery over their specific areas of responsibility. 

This phased design supports self-paced learning while maintaining instructor oversight, ensuring flexibility without compromising accountability.

Benefits for Students and Instructors 

The NEXA® M&T curriculum is designed to simplify implementation while maximizing outcomes for both learners and instructors. Key features include: 

• Efficient Online Courses – Streamlined delivery of required training modules. 

• Objective-Aligned Assessments – Quizzes and proctored exams developed through SAT methodology. 

• Instructor Oversight Tools – Exam proctoring, individual progress tracking, and quiz analytics by objective. 

A major advantage is the turnkey design, which significantly reduces instructor workload. As one customer observed:

“The overall workload of the instructor is much less with this curriculum.” 

This efficiency allows instructors to dedicate more time to supporting students individually, enhancing engagement and success. 

Other student-focused features include: 

• Mandatory course completion and minimum 80% quiz scores before exam eligibility. 

• Remediation exams to provide fair recovery opportunities. 

• Multimedia instruction—audio, video, and animation—to support different learning styles and reduce exam barriers.
