This course is  approved for continuing education Code credit for electrician license renewal in a number of states, including:  SD, WY, NE, MT, IA, UT, MN, AK. Other states accept our class based on the SD or one of the other pre-approvals.

State Licensing Requirements

Illustrations taken from Mike Holt's Code Changes book will be used, interspersed with applications of the code to review the use of code tables and calculations. This class will also include sample Code Calculations and use of NEC Code Tables. Many electricians also take this class as a good review and update on the NEC, even if they 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. Locations where this class is typically scheduled include South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana.
