This authoritative 14-hour continuing education course provides a comprehensive review of the most significant changes, revisions, and additions to the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70). Designed specifically for Alabama Electrical Contractors, this course navigates the code update by breaking it down into three logical segments: General Requirements & Wiring Methods (Chapters 1-3), Equipment & Hazardous Locations (Chapters 3-5), and Special Equipment & Communications (Chapters 6-8).
Through a detailed analysis of specific code sections—ranging from new surge protection requirements in residential and commercial settings to the latest rules for electric vehicle branch circuits—this course ensures licensees are compliant with the latest safety standards. The curriculum utilizes a practical, question-based format to reinforce retention of critical code articles, including grounding, bonding, and disconnect identification.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the licensee will be able to:
-
Identify and apply new marking requirements for service equipment and disconnecting means to ensure worker safety.
-
Calculate permissible loads and understand new GFCI protection requirements for dwelling and non-dwelling units.
-
Apply updated 2023 standards for Electric Vehicle (EV) branch circuits and “Island Mode” technologies.
-
Demonstrate knowledge of correct grounding and bonding techniques for hazardous locations and patient care areas.
-
Recognize compliant installation methods for emergency lighting systems and legally required standby systems.
