About this course
We built a 40-hour NABCEP PVDS Prep Course that will give you the best chance of passing the PVDS exam. It includes more lessons and more practice problems. But you aren't required to get 40 hours of advanced training to sit for the exam, so some people have requested this speedier option.
NABCEP's PV Design Specialist (PVDS) Board Certification recognizes the advanced experience and skill of PV system designers. This Board Certification demonstrates your proven ability to configure the mechanical and electrical design components of PV systems.
This NABCEP PV Design Specialist (PVDS) Certification Prep Course gives you the advanced hours and knowledge required to earn NABCEP PVDS Certification.
The PVDS Practice Exam is included with the prep course - it's a great way to prepare and get comfortable so you can pass the PVDS exam on your first try.
