"I have done this course for, at least, the last 3 revisions and this by far is the best. I train this course frequently and I found it educational, thorough, effective, and challenging." – Ruben L.

"This course is extremely organized and well built. It captures attention quite well. The voice-over of the text helped maintain focus as well as ensure details were remembered. Test questions were relevant and actually discussed quite clearly. Quite a few tests following info modules don't do that well. And the overall presentation was interesting and appealing. Legitimately, the 7 hours it took to complete this training were actually pretty enjoyable. And that's not even in a relative point of view but rather an objective one." – Tyrel J.

"Great detailed course. At 55 years old I am still learning the trade every day and this course not only keeps you updated on the hazards that we all know exist daily in our routine, but it updates you on the new ones that keep coming year after year in our industry." – Michael M.

"This is an excellent online NFPA 70E^® course. I believe most electricians can benefit from taking it at home or their office. Thank you." – James R.

"I learned a great deal from this course. It gives me greater respect for the electrical work which I perform and far greater respect for those who perform electrical work of much higher grade/caliber than I am required to. I am also very grateful for the in-depth requirements in regards to safety for the "average" worker." – Brandon M.

"Very easy to follow and really enjoyed the interaction exercises in the modules. Examples of permits were a nice real-world touch for online training." – Christopher D.
