Course Description
The National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA ) updates the National Electrical Code® ( NEC ) every three years. The NEC® is included as a part of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and is the most used installation or construction code in the world. Electricians and maintenance technicians, whether experienced or without formal electrical training, need to understand the new 2011 NEC® changes and the many intricacies associated with the NEC®. The purpose of this seminar is to present anyone working with electricity the most current, best practices for safe installation and maintenance of electrical systems and equipment while at the same time giving all non-electrical personnel a practical introduction to the NEC®.
Anyone who needs to know how the NEC® requirements apply to the electrical work done in their plant or building will benefit from this course. These courses are filled with people from many different industries, skill levels, company sizes, and job titles. Our students include people who are responsible for the following jobs:
• Install and maintain electrical equipment
