Workforce Development Offers National Electric Code (NEC) 2008 Update Course
The College’s Workforce Development Institute (WDI), is offering a 15-hour NEC 2008 update course for electricians who wish to bring their skills up-to-date.
This is not a course for beginners, but for experienced electricians who need to review the changes to the code in order to make sure their work is compliant with current regulations.

The NEC 2008 Update course will cover:
–Changes affecting the scope of the NEC
–Changes to definitions
–Changes to the general-news requirements for electrical installations
–Changes to the wiring and protection requirements
–Changes affecting wiring methods and materials
–Changes affecting the use of equipment for general-news use
