LOOK WHAT OUR CLASS ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT US:
“It was nice talking with you again today register for my annual Continuing Ed class. I think I’ve been dealing with you since I took my test prep class for my journeyman license and my E-1. What impressed me about those classes was how comprehensive they were. At the time, and still to this day, there are a lot of organizations offering single day sessions. I was skeptical of those, given broad scope of our trade. I think the Journeyman program was one (long) night a week for 10 weeks – might have been a little shorter by the time took the E1 class but I went into the test very confident and came out feeling was actually over prepared. I see you are also offering other non-required classes over the years like Solar and Business. I hope to take advantage of one of these some day. I appreciate your focus on quality and recommend you often to younger guys coming up.”

Aug 22, 2018According to a U.S. study conducted by the Fire Protection Research Foundation concerning arc flash injury, the most common work task leading to arc flash injury is the replacement of fuses. Many workers do this without turning off the power and verifying that equipment is de-energized. From the study, arc flash injury has also accounted for 29 percent of electrical fatalities from 2003 to 2010 and 36 percent of non-fatal electrical injuries from 2004 to 2013 in the United States.

Aug 8, 2018With any luck, you’ve never had to deal with someone vandalizing a job site you’ve worked on in an attempt to sell the wire as scrap. The thieves who do this typically slip (or break) in, cut off any available wire and make a break for it with bits and pieces of wire still hanging in place. In some cases, they actually damage the rest of the structure trying to get as much wire as they can grab. It can be a real blow, both because it comes as a shock and because there’s now a lot of work that has to be redone.

Jul 25, 2018Electrical fires are sneaky, insidious and often odorless. They don’t produce smoke, so smoke detectors don’t immediately sound an alarm. When faulty or damaged electrical wiring heats up, it slowly begins to smolder. These types of fires can be so slow-burning that it can take months to actually ignite. Even worse, they can be very hard to extinguish once they take hold. It makes sense that the best approach is to prevent electrical fires instead of having to deal with one.
