Our PanGlobal Customer Service email has changed! Please update our email in your contact list and submit all email inquiries and purchase orders to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to ensure processing.

In new printings of PanGlobal's Power Engineering First Class Edition 2.0, Learning Objectives 9 and 10 from Part A1, Chapter 1: Rankine and Brayton Cycles will become Objectives 7 and 8 in Part A4, Chapter 2: Plant and Equipment Efficiencies.

All Part A1 and Part A4 eBooks will automatically update.

These objectives are now located in Power Engineering First Class, Part A4, Chapter 2: Plant and Equipment Efficiencies:

• Objective 7: Describe the design, layout, and advantages of a gas turbine/steam turbine combined cycle plant.
• Objective 8: Explain the total energy concept as it applies to a power plant.

This change was made to better align our books with the SOPEEC exam curriculum and will contribute to a more consistent learning experience and better examination results.

We are excited to announce the release of Refrigeration Plant Operator Edition 4!

The content of Refrigeration Plant Operator (RPO) Edition 4 follows the syllabus structure to prepare learners to challenge the SOPEEC Interprovincial Refrigeration Operator Certificate of Competency. This syllabus is shared with the Ontario Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) Refrigeration Operator Class B Operating Engineer Certification.

Edition 4 comprises the following four books, sold individually:

• Book 1: Refrigeration Plant Basics  (192 pages)
• Book 2: Applied Concepts of Refrigeration (322 pages)
• Book 3: Refrigeration Plant Support Systems (388 pages)
• Book 4: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (222 pages)

No new chapters have been added to the new edition; however, the chapters from the previous edition have been re-arranged into individual books. The advantage of this model is that it highlights the key topics captured in each book. This model helps track the progression of content and helps the learner build a better understanding of the material. The chapters in these books include self-tests, where appropriate, that are designed to test your understanding. The end of each chapter contains a set of questions for you to work through. These books also provide mathematical examples with fully worked out solutions to help you understand the concepts.

We are excited to announce the release of Thermodynamics Problem Solving Volume 1, Edition 1!

Thermodynamics Problem Solving Volume 1 is designed for individuals preparing to write the Fourth Class Part A exam or the Third Class A1 exam. Over 300 worked examples and problems are an enhancement to the PanGlobal thermodynamics sections for Fourth Class and Third Class. This volume will also assist those preparing to write the Second Class and First Class thermodynamics exams who require a review of earlier thermodynamics.

PanGlobal is excited to announce that our project to redesign the website for the National Institute for the Uniform Licensing of Power Engineers, Inc. (NIULPE) is complete, and the website is now live! NIULPE is a national certifying organization in the United States and is an integral part of PanGlobal’s entrance into U.S. markets.

Visitors to NIULPE’s site are greeted with a landing page that features quick navigation icons to NIULPE’s examination services and certification processes. The NIULPE eCommerce store features customized PanGlobal textbooks and eBooks that meet NIULPE’s certification requirements and target specific customer groups. The eCommerce store is also integrated directly with PanGlobal’s inventory management system to cut down on administrative work and allow for quick product delivery to customers.

This project was completed with consideration to support NIULPE’s unique selling proposition as the leading Power Engineering certification body in the United States. As NIULPE is our partner for certification in the United States, increasing NIULPE's exposure and market share also fuels PanGlobal’s growth in the U.S.

This collaboration was an exciting project for PanGlobal, and we anticipate future successes with NIULPE as we continue to partner in education.

PanGlobal is discontinuing the Limited Power Engineer (Fireman) Handbook and publishing two new products in its place.

The first of these products, the Fireman Boiler Operator Handbook for Saskatchewan , presents learners with the knowledge concepts set out by the Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan. This handbook has been revised to reference current legislative and regulatory terminology in the province of Saskatchewan, notably removing reference to Limited Power Engineer as the revised regulations removed that category of certification.

The Boiler Operator (Fireman) Handbook presents the same concepts applicable for Boiler Operators and may be used as a general technical manual as Saskatchewan-specific legislation has been removed. PanGlobal anticipates that the material within the Boiler Operator (Fireman) Handbook will support Boiler Operator's in other jurisdictions where, previously, such material may have been absent.

Both products will be available for purchase in print format starting 2 July 2021. eBook versions will be available for sale the week of 5 July 2021.

Fireman Boiler Operator for Saskatchewan (Ed. 1)

The Fireman Boiler Operator Handbook for Saskatchewan comprises the subject matter outlined under TSASK’s Fireman Boiler Operator certificate and will familiarize individuals with the knowledge and concepts required. This set includes two volumes focused on the technical knowledge required for a Boiler Operator (Fireman) along with industrial legislation specific to the province of Saskatchewan.

Topics covered include:

• Industrial Legislation for Fireman Boiler Operators
• Safety
• Introduction to Thermodynamics

Congratulations to Adam Anton!

We are pleased to announce Adam Anton as the winner of PanGlobal’s Corrections Contest. This contest, which ran for over six months, saw learners and instructors alike submitting corrections of PanGlobal’s learning products. Over the course of the contest, 80 submissions were received by our Subject Matter Experts, reviewed and compared to our current materials, and corrected where necessary.

Adam submitted ten (10) corrections which were reviewed and incorporated into PanGlobal's learning materials. As the contest winner, Adam has been awarded with a full set of Second Class (Ed 2.5) learning materials. When notified of his selection, Adam had the following to say:

"I am so pleased to have actually won a set of books from PanGlobal. It comes at a great time during a pandemic where just about the only thing there is to do is study! I have used the CIRKA content for all of my exams and some 2nd class exams, and would (and definitely have) recommended them to friends and workers. CIRKA won’t show you the answers which is good, because it enforces the learner to actually look in the books and find the correct answer. I would definitely recommend the CIRKA content for anyone pursuing any class of exams."

We thank everyone who participated in the contest for their submitted corrections, as the results further strengthen our accurate and precise materials. All corrections found on an ongoing basis are made available in MyPower under Corrections and Updates and are published in future print runs of our learning materials.

PanGlobal is proud to announce our newest product, the revised and updated First Class Edition 2. After receiving feedback on the previous edition and assessing the current syllabus, we have revised the First Class learning content to deliver a superior learning experience.
