We are offering a special introductory rate for this first run of the course at $95.00 discounted from the regular fee of $149.00.

Electric and Safety Basics for Solar Installers

This course consists of basic skills in the areas of math, electric and safety. The following lessons contain a wealth of knowledge and reading for the students to prepare themselves for an entry level solar installer position and for the NABCEP Photovoltaic Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge Exam.

 

• Lesson 1: Math Concepts
• Lesson 2: Electric Basics
• Lesson 3: Safety Basics

 

This course will cover the material not covered heavily by our main course Photovoltaic System Design & Installation. Upon successfully passing both these courses you will be qualified to sit for the NABCEP Photovoltaic Entry Level Certificate of Knowledge Exam at a PearsonVue Testing Center near you.

 

 

As mentioned above you will have to complete our online Photovoltaic System Design & Installation course then also complete our mini course covering some entry level skills in safety, math and electric skills. Both courses must be completed with a passing grade.

 

Upon sign up we will provide you with a copy of the Photovoltaic (PV) Entry Level Exam Candidate Information Sheet and then once you have met the course requirements we will send a information sheet with some basic information to the testing company to notify them you are eligible to sit for the exam. Once that has been sent the Testing Company will send you the student an ID number and instructions on how to schedule your exam. The fee for the exam is $145 and is paid directly to the testing center not to the course provider and is paid at the time of phone or online exam registration. When going for the exam you will have to provide government issued ID and it must match the information used during registration and the information the course provider received and sent in. Once you complete the exam you will receive your score to print and will also be given the option to allow us to receive a copy of your score for our records which we would ask you accept so we can track any changes we need to make to our training. You will have the option for one exam retake if you fail it and will have to reschedule it with the testing center and will have to pay the fee again. If you fail a second time you are required to attend training again to re-meet the requirements to sit for the exam.
