The National Electrical Code (NEC) is published every 3 years by the National Fire Protection Association. It is offered as the minimum safety standard for electrical installations, but is not a law until adoped by the respective state or municipal governing body.

This class is your opportunity to become familiar with the National Electrical Code.

Comments From attendees at a previous Arne Electro Tech seminar:

"A must do for all Electrical Contractors who want to succeed", - Scott Neuhauser.

"One of the best classes I have been to", Eric Kuenzel.

This class is pre-approved for continuing education credit in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyoming, and many other states that accept those pre-approvals. So if you need code continuing credit hours, this class will provide 16 hours for license renewal. (Check with your state to see if they will accept SD or WY or NE pre-approval).

This course is now being offered as the first two days of our new Comprehensive Exam Prep Program. Please see the Exam Prep page for more details.

Working electricians may also take this class as a good review and update on the NEC, even if you do not need the continuing education hours for license renewal. Either way, keeping updated on the electrical code will enable you to be more competent at your job.

You can register online for 16 hours of class.
