Student reviews

After taking the PVIP exam, I realized that I have been studying for the exam for three years either in the field installing and asking questions from great master electricians or in an office creating resources for engineers in the office and installers in the field. However, the practice questions allowed me to orient my test-taking mind for the PVIP. I made an 83 on the actual exam and credit the last push required for passing to this course. Many Thanks!

I am proud that I made such a great career choice in this program

Great course

I have been an installer myself for over a year, and I cannot express how much new information that I learned over the course of a week! Sean has done a terrific job breaking down topics for the PVA exam. I believe I am now prepared to get a great score!

I started this journey ten years ago when I took the PVIP after being in the trade for 3 years and failed. I waited another 10 years before trying again and passed with more knowledge.

Great course for someone wanting to expand their knowledge of solar or for anyone brand new to the industry!

Looked for a class that gave me the necessary knowledge and a good guide to study. The practice exam and explanations are a great learning tool!

This training has taught a lot on the basics and concepts of the solar PV and battery energy storage systems which I can be used in my daily job as a solar design engineer

Sean White and Bill Brooks explain things well and are very reponsive to to questions during the course. Very recommended course to take.

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.

This course is full of useful information, sure to increase your working knowledge of PV systems and their installation. Sean's approach helps to retain dense material with humor and in depth explanations. I'm thankful that this is the path I took towards my NABCEP PVIP certification.

This course really helped guide me in my studies and provided a lot of new information. I am very eager to take the exam now.

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

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!

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.

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

Enrolling in the solar energy program I was excited and nervous. I know this would be a great a career path but I wasn’t sure if it would be something I would’ve been able to pick up on and be so enthusiastic about. After reviewing the modules in the learning path everything was covered and explained wonderful.

I would definitely enroll in Sean's other courses! It has been a real joy studying under his guidance!

This was an extremely thorough treatment of the material on the NABCEP PV Associate test. Like all tests, passing is the student's responsibility but that student must first have the content laid before them and be guided through it by an engaged and experienced instructor. This course does both things well.

Sean's course was incredibly helpful in the process of starting my own solar installation company. I had a lot of industry training beforehand, and the two methods of learning came together like a hand in a nitrile glove

Training with Sean was great! It gave me a much more rounded approach to my solar business training. It was one of those things where you don't know what you don't know until you dive into more depth!

Great course. I highly recommend.

Fantastic overall course and awesome instructor. Preps you with everything you need to know to jump into the industry. All topics introduced and reviewed from countless angles while moving you through the subjects. Recommended.

Retaking after letting my license lapse due to travel and work requirements. Hope to have positive test experience post covid

I’ve learned a lot

I procrastinated terribly, but honestly the course is great! A steady up-tempo pace and lots of relevant repetition help the videos to flow and the information to stick. Don't wait to dig in! There's so much information and tons of extra resources to come back to repeatedly even after you pass your test!

The learning materials and practice exams offered through this course easily make it a worth while purchase. If you're serious about getting into Solar because you find the topic and field interesting, you will truly enjoy this course as much as I have.

The course bundle and the PVIP test prep gave me a solid foundation for the PVIP exam. I personally did the 18 Hour PV Solar Boot Camp, the 40-Hour NABCEP Advanced PV Certification Training, and the NABCEP PV Installation Professional (PVIP) Practice Exam. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The NABCEP PVIP exam was more challenging than I expected, but I was able to fall back on the foundation I had learned through the course and then work through the challenging questions. I could hear Sean talking over my shoulder! I would definitely recommend the course package!

This course was really well prepared and thought out; from the delivery and organization, to the resources and active discussion board. I feel grateful to have landed in the Heatspring courses, you can always tell when someone truly loves what they are teaching. Now that I have finished the "Battery Storage Bootcamp & 40hr NABCEP Advanced PV Training", I'll continue with the "Additional Videos" and start diving into several other Courses. Thank you for all the collaborative efforts to create and maintain these program(s).

They way Sean explains and uses repetition to engrave concepts in your brain is awesome! It really helps to take this course if you want to pass the exam or improve your knowledge in solar!

Actually I have run a solar installation team in Asia. I followed only manufacturers' instructions during installation of solar systems. After this NABCEP associate exam prep in HeatSpring, I have known about much more information and data about solar PV. I have decided to take some more courses about solar PV in HeatSpring.

This course was incredibly informative. Sean makes learning really fun, the course is complete with a plethora of information and reference material.

Sean, thank you for putting together these practice questions, they were very instrumental in my passing of the PVIP exam. I felt well prepared and was confident of my answers on the majority of the exam.

This is a self-paced course, so the most important thing is to just watch the videos without half-assing it. Make sure you grasp the concepts before moving on to the next video. No one will force you to understand everything except for yourself

Course was informative for someone having no familiarity with the solar industry.

Supercharge your knowledge on Solar. Sean White makes what once felt complicated, easy.

The NABCEP certifications are great, this course will get you to your goal.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the solar industry and preparing for the NABCEP PVIP exam. It's an excellent industry filled with smart, driven professionals and endless opportunities for growth.

add hints on all of the questions, as there were only 2 practice exams with hints and even the second one was just a Wikipedia page telling us the answer. Actual hints that wouldn't give the answer away but rather help the user would be great. Other than that, it is great.
