Student reviews

Really solid course. The content was clear, well-paced, and easy to follow. Sean and Bill make a great team for learning solar.

This course has provided an excellent opportunity to explore the NEC in greater depth. As a PV Design Engineer, it has helped me gain a clearer understanding of the underlying principles behind many of the concepts I encounter daily in plan sets. Thanks Sean!

Welcome! Very informative and user friendly. Good luck and enjoy!

This course is great. I really enjoyed the interactive way the the instructor lead this course. Other course are usually boring and hard to stay awake, but I was ready to learn the whole way through. Thanks HeatSpring!

Over all my years of taking online classes for NABCEP CEU's This has been the most enjoyable and comprehensive class I have taken. Even more than when I use to give classes as an IREC Master Trainer.

Join the course, and I thought it provided a good informational update across a range of topics.

I’ve been in the industry since 2015, gaining a lot of direct practical knowledge as well as passive learning along the way. I really wish I had taken this course 10 years ago! It's an interactive and interesting class, but it's also easy to put in the background while doing other tasks after reading the textbook chapters. I know I’ll refer back to this material throughout the year. I feel prepared to take this test.

This course is a complete package for those preparing for the NABCEP PVA exam. I would also recommend Sean White's text book - Solar Photovoltaic Basics - as a guide to prepare for the exam.

The course was much better than I expected. I have taken many online courses in my career, and Sean did a great job of making the lessons engaging and breaking down some of the complexities of the topics.

Great course with lots of information, would highly recommend.

This course is packed with useful info! Sean explains things in a way that makes learning easy and enjoyable.

The Heatspring 18 Hour Solar PV Bootcamp course is an incredibly valuable tool, whether you've worked in PV for years or are just getting started in the industry. The self-guided approach allows those who have experience to spend more time on topics they are less familiar with, while moving quickly through items that may be more review for them. I also think the course does a great job of balancing teaching the material in a way that allows it to be fully understood, as opposed to "teaching to the test", while still making sure it does prepare for the actual examination. Great course that I will absolutely return to even after completing my certifications!

Sean designed a great course. I was engaged the whole time and was able to power through hours of videos at a time because of how engaging they were. He shares a lot of pictures and real world experiences which helped me grasp the topics easier. He also threw in a bunch of jokes which I was laughing at throughout the course. Then you have Bill Brooks who is an expert on the code making panel actually breaking down the reasons why there are certain codes and recommendations on how to follow them. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to take their NABCEP exam.

The commissioning and maintenance course is amazing and a life changer, and I can't wait to start my new career, armed with correct information, I will have a greater advantage. Thank you HeatSpring Eric

I have been installing solar for 16 years and for that entire time I’ve known about Sean and Bill. I can’t remember the first time I took a course of Sean’s but his courses have been my go to since I became certified and needed CECs. I like going to the conferences but getting a refresher with Sean every few years is the most convenient and cost effective way to get it done. Our industry is so lucky to have Sean and Bill to guide us! I highly recommend this course! Patrick Dias President Croton Energy Group inc

No.

Go into this course seeking knowledge rather than taking it to pass the exam and you will be very happy! Instructor Sean White goes well beyond NABCEP required in sharing his vast knowledge-it's cool!

Sean and Bill are fantastic! Becoming a proficient PV installation, designer and overall expert takes a lot of work and a lot of studying; not to mention, a lot of practice. These guys make it fun, informative, and exciting! I mean who doesn't want to learn how to make FIRE with solar panels or was it how to NOT make FIRE! Anyhow, the content and presentation are 5 star A+ material!

Well worth the money spent, and no, my employer didn't buy my class. I am pursuing my NABCEP C&M Specialist Cert and not only was this course a milestone in that pursuit, I also picked up a ton of extra knowledge I didn't expect to gain. This course can help give you the confidence many "advanced" technicians lack, and if not, at least give you the knowledge to be able to search for the answer to the issue you are trying to solve.

Heatsprings keeps me on top of my solar game. I wouldn't be the professional I am today without these great instructors and their energizing content!

We use HeatSpring for all of our team members seeking NABCEP certification and have been extremely successful.

HeatSpring training has fully prepared me for my career!

The coarse price should be reduced.

Great way to get in-depth knowledge on solar PV and the NEC, particularly for passing the PVIP exam. Self-pace approach is a great feature.

This course is very informative, engaging and easy to follow. Sean Keeps your attention through the entire thing!

Whether your new to the solar industry or a seasoned solar veteran in need of a refresher course, this 18-Hour Solar PV Bootcamp provides a plethora of a great information to fast-track your continued solar education.

I have been working in solar since 2007; this is the best training and format I have found to cover these topics.

This course was an excellent way for me to reup my PVIP certification. It provided tons of content delivered in digestible segments. Thanks Sean and Bill!

This course is a must-take for anyone starting their journey in the solar industry! I wish the solar EPC I work at made me take this in the first month after I was hired.

Engaging and entertaining course that is a great entry point into the solar power + energy storage world. I am an energy systems engineer with career experience and I still learned a lot. The Associate course is an awesome choice for anyone that wants to work in this high-demand and growing field. Highly recommended!

Hope this will help me complete the Nabcep exams which will be more stressful and timing

Prior to taking the course I had very limited knowledge of PV and how it is supposed to function. My limited experience was field level installation without any theory. This course in just 18hours has explained many things about PV that I had no prior understanding of. In a very short amount of time my knowledge of PV application/installation has increased dramatically.

The truth is I don't like studying. But with this course and the need to improve myself in my professional life, I am learning to study, concentrate and give my best. I hope I can pass the exam that is my goal

I took this course in preparation for the PVIP exam 40-hr prep course. Even with years of Solar installation experience, I learned a tremendous amount from this entry-level course. I feel as though it has filled in the gaps of my knowledge of solar design, installation, and use. This is a great foundation for anyone in the industry, and I am confident in building up to more advanced material from here.

This BOOT Camp was a very good introduction to the solar PV. I now am more comfortable regarding the initial stage of system design and performance estimation.

Thanks for the information and training

I absolutely love the way Sean does his lectures. The funny explanations and side notes are great. If all college/other courses were the same way, it would be soooo much easier to stay engaged!

Did this course. Passed the PVTS exam first time!

This course is very informative even for folks that have been in the industry for a long time. I particularly enjoy the informational bonus material and the little details that you won't get elsewhere

You can never assume you know this stuff. Remembering what I once knew and seeing it in the totally of the NEC, IRC, IFC and all the rest. The course was a reminder to stay humble and interested in what is, what isn't and what will be in the solar and storage industry. Happy to see movement away form MLEs!

Found the course helpful and feel much better prepared to sit for the NABCEP certification exam.

What a great course! Sean White delivers some great introductory knowledge for solar professionals that want to take the next step in their careers or for anyone interested in learning more about PV solar. 11/10!

NABCEP certification is a sure fire way to demonstrate your expertise and credibility in the growing solar energy field. Heatspring courses are the perfect tools to help you achieve those certifications.

I would confidently walk out of the 18 hours with a much better idea of the solar industry, and be sure that I could work in the industry knowing what I have learnt is useful in the field.

This course was able to provide me with a lot informations that boosted my confidence and I highly recommend it For those who want to get to next level this is obligatory passage .
