Part 1 of this interactive online course covers the basic rules of electricity and electronics. It contains enough detail to help you through almost any difficulty that faces you, short of playing electronic design engineer.

Part 2 covers some of the 2023 updates in the National Electrical Code, including changes to Articles 300, 310, 312, and 314. These changes will address items such as protection against physical damage to wiring, underground installations, and the number of conductors in a raceway, as well as supports for enclosures and conduit bodies.

Part 3 introduces you to many workplace situations that require you to work safely with electricity.

You'll learn how and why electricity can be dangerous. You'll also learn about various methods

used for protection.

Part 4 covers some of the 2023 updates in the National Electrical Code, including changes to Articles 690, 705, 706, 722, 724, 726, 750, 760, and 810. We will discuss solar photovoltaic systems,energy storage systems, Class 4 fault-managed power systems, energy management systems, and more.

Part 5 covers some of the 2023 updates in the National Electrical Code®. We’ll primarily discuss changes to Article 210 as related to branch circuits not over 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC. We’ll look at the changes made to GFCI and AFCI protection requirements, multioutlet branch circuits, receptacle outlets, and lighting outlets.

The final portion of this course covers several of the most significant changes in the 2024 edition of NFPA 70E ®, with a focus on the most commonly used sections of the standard.
