This is the best course for solar that you can get. I started last year as a laborer, worked my way as a technician and now I am a field manager due to this course. I use the information every day on our job sites, I feel confident with what I know and the results show in our arrays.

“Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them”. -Teddy Roosevelt Sean, In the above quote, I think you have the 2nd and 3rd kinds of greatness. Fate placed you at time where your teaching and solar skills are needed to help mankind and the planet (literarily). I am honored to have met you, and to have learned from your super set of solar skills. The Solar Bootcamp was phenomenal. Your solar books helped a lot (good job, well written). The training has the potential to be transformational for the country at a time when this change is critical. Your commitment to making sure we all can learn this science, strategically, make you a national treasure. Thank you.

I really value my education with Heatspring for many reasons. First, I get to learn about many things I never knew about. Another reason is that the teacher here really care about you and your education. Also, I have a lot of chances to make up work during the week. Tutoring is also available this program (free lessons) for those students who don’t understand something, Sean always encourage us to ASK questions he get back to you always! It was an excellence choice to start with Sean.

The video course was made very well, with plenty of practice exam questions and good explanations of the material

by Jason Jacaruso, President, D/E/F Services Group, Ltd 03/06/2022

I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to take the exam and or learn the basics of solar and start getting into the field. Add the convenience or completing the course at your own pass with the timely responses from a "live" instructor to be able to get any and all questions answers is an excellent combination. Cant go wrong on this class - Jason

by Michael Yaple, Site Supervisor, Onsite Solar LLC 06/21/2021

I've taken a lot of online classes, and this course is the best I've ever taken. Sean really takes the time to thoroughly explain course material and is very responsive on the discussion board. I have no doubts that I will pass the PVIP exam on my first attempt. Thanks Sean!

by Adam Pounds, Project Manager, King Solar Inc 02/21/2021

If you want to level up in the solar industry, there is no better way to do it than to become a NABCEP PVIP. If you want to study for the PVIP exam, there is no place better to do that than HeatSpring.

by Ronald Bayes, Cofounder and Director of Business Development, Sunblaze Energy 02/04/2021

Sean and Bill are excellent resources for PV professionals of all levels of expertise.

WeWantGreenToo is the best veteran/returning citizen based program, that teaches and follows Sean's course in the Solar Industry, we look forward to working with Sean and his organizations on making the world more solar friendly starting in Michigan on the eastside of Detroit.. Though I am interested in more community based opportunities for solar..

The Heatspring Solar PV 40-hour Advanced Certification Training was a crucial resource for leveling up my knowledge in the quickly developing solar industry. I am far more confident in my work as a solar operations lead, and can apply it in many different areas throughout the industry. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is taking their training seriously and wants to pursue a career in solar.

by Micah Johnson, Operations Manager, Solar Connection 05/02/2023

Excellent course and excellent value. Note that while it's listed as a 16 hour course, that's referring to 16 hours of video time. There is also reading, tests, and studying that are not included in that.

by Braden Fritsche 04/19/2023

I feel that anyone involved in PV in the US would benefit greatly by taking this course.

by Nicholas Shrader 04/07/2023

I learned so much taking this course, it is a lot of information, but Sean does an excellent job of explaining what, where, and why things are in the PV industry. Whether you are already in the industry or looking to make the jump I can't recommend this course enough. I feel extremely confident about taking the exam after having took this course.

by Alec Schweitzer 03/20/2023

This online course is the best of both worlds. The videos allow you to work at your own pace, but the instructor is always able to be reached and is very eager to answer questions or just talk solar.

by Douglas Lacanilao 03/16/2023

This course has it all! from safety to sizing with history though out.

by Victor Bernal 02/22/2023

I joined these IBT classes not knowing a thing in PV know. I have learned a lot this past couple of weeks.

Great course, great instructors, up to date materials, and enjoyable.

practice exams were amazing -- you can tell Sean is one of the people who helped create this test.

by Emily Sigmund, Solar Designer, StraightUp Solar 02/19/2023

I would have no chance of passing this exam without this course. The practice exams and explanations are great ways to make sure I'm accurately applying the information I'm learning. I passed the first practice exam I took, which really reduced my fear and stress surrounding the exam. Super grateful for the information I learned!

by Justiniano Campa 01/29/2023

I can't imagine there is a more qualified instructor who is equally able to relay information is such a retainable as Sean White. Access or review any course material anytime anywhere. Save time researching available PVA courses across the US and run with Sean's.

by Peter Keller, Field Supervisor, Renewable Energy Systems 01/26/2023

I won't know how effective the course is until I take the exam.

by Lester Gray, Owner, Tron Solar 01/16/2023

This course is not only good for getting the NABCEP PVIP. It also prepares you to pass electrical exams for Master, or Journeyman. I highly recommend this course.
