I recommend the online PV Associate course taught by Dr Sean White at Heatspring. The course videos are effective and also entertaining. Communication with the instructor via the discussion board was convenient and the responses I got were prompt and complete.
This course is truly the comprehensive intro to PV class. Stop acting like you know PV because someone taught you how to size a net metering system! Take this class now and open your eyes!
This course gives you an in-depth dive into the world of PV. Sean's teaching style is interesting and keeps you engaged throughout the course. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about solar.
This class will help anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of the PV industry, regardless of whether you plan on taking a NABCEP exam. If NABCEP certification is your goal, it will really help in your preparation for the associate exam!
An excellent course wherein I began with a beginner, associate's knowledge of topics to now having confidence with advanced topics. The instructor, Sean White, is a treasure trove of knowledge, experience and insight and his method is as upbeat as it is complete.
sean white's PV Associate course is perfect for people new to solar
Don't hesitate to take this course, I really learned a lot. Very very recommended.
I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in PV.
This course was very effective and provided a wonderful overview of the topics covered on the associate exam.
Dr. White's course is extremely effective for NABCEP exam preparation not only in that the teaching style & course content made it easy to understand, but also that the integrated community participation/instructor communication enables students to reinforce concepts based on their specific learning style. Having students publicly post real-world questions and scenarios further expands on the content and clarifies unique circumstances. Dr. White's timely and encompassing responsiveness to student queries also serves as a desirable characteristic that would be welcome in any classroom whether on the web or in person.
The course has been very helpful.
I am an Electrical Engineer, and have been using the code book for quite a while, yet this is the first time I have clearly understood some of the unclear parts of the code book.
This course was perfect for preparing me to take the NABCEP associate exam. Sean's lectures were thorough and interesting and covered all of the necessary material.
Sean presents the course in a fun way and is easy to follow and understand. The material is informational and reflects reality in the industry while prepping students for the standardized test.
Great Course! Just Do it, a good value and will help with your prep for the NABCEP associate exam
completing the course gives you an overview and a good picture of what the industry is all about. I am really glad I took the course. Recommended
Sean is an extremely detail oriented and experienced PV professional with a natural aptitude for teaching. Any time I had questions, we was extremely prompt in his responses which shows his dedication to seeing you make it through. Between these traits and his syntactic course delivery method, this course has been essential in sharpening me up prior to writing my NABCEP PVIP exam. Thanks Sean!
This is a great preparation for solar professional work and the NABCEP exam. You will enjoy Sean's presentation and sense of humor. You cover a lot in a short amount of time.
Great class! Instruction, pace, content all first rate. I like the format and ease of progression through assignments. I would recommend this to friends!
Even though I work in the solar industry daily and focus on this material on a regular basis, I have been hesitant, and maybe a little intimidated to take the PVIP exam. This course has both exposed me to the concepts and applications that I don't regularly see in the field, and has given me a more robust understanding of theory, code, and design. It has given me more confidence in my daily work and compelled me to expand my knowledge base for further personal development.
This course was very helpful and it clearly demonstrated essential knowledge needed in the solar industry. It will prepare you with the necessary tools to take and pass the NABCEP associate exam.
Excellent gateway choice for the NABCEP certification
I've not taken the exam yet, so I can't say how well the material is represented on the exam. But the material in the textbook and online course was thoroughly covered in a way that I feel I understand it all now.
Sean White does an excellent job of breaking down the NEC code and making it understandable. You will come out of the course with a wealth of new knowledge and with a confidence to take on the NABCEP exam!
