Training Audience Matrix

The training matrix intersects MP roles with training courses and indicates whether the course is mandatory, highly recommended, or recommended for each role.


Need MP Input

We want each MP to indicate the number of people from their company who need to attend each class to satisfy readiness requirements.


MPs will enter input into matrix. . .

MPs can enter a number directly into the spreadsheet in every cell that has a value (M, HR, R)

ERCOT will use this information for planning and budgeting.


To measure Market Readiness. . .

To measure the readiness of market participant personnel, as required by the ERCOT Transition Plan, we will use the numbers in the mandatory (M) cells. We will calculate the total number of market participants that plan to attend mandatory training, apply the “Percentage Market Readiness Criteria”, and compare that number to the total number of attendees that successfully complete the training.


Course Curriculum Descriptions

Based on the samples of training curriculum in Table 1 of the ERCOT Transition Plan

Includes: Description of course Length of course Material covered Target audience Timing of completion Required test scores Percent of the total market participant population that must complete the class to declare market readiness
