Our Electricians continuing education courses are code based and written using real world applications. Information is explained from the electrical code inspector's perspective but translated into simple explanations of the 2005 NEC codebook. The NEC Review Part 1 and Electrical Law course covers chapters 1 and 2 of the national electrical code. This course offers lessons on Article 100 which includes definitions of common industry terms as set forth by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and the NECC (National Electrical Code Committee), gaining a more thorough understanding of the 2005 NEC codebook, and the most common misconceptions of the national electrical code. Any electrician will benefit from the classes provided, leading to improved efficiency and code compliance.

We also offer exam prep for the Georgia utility manager license, Georgia low voltage license, and the Georgia electrical license. These courses are designed to provide you with the newest information and help you pass the Georgia electrical license exam. There is also a wide variety of online practice exams to get you ready for the test.
