Washington State – 20 Hour Course Package, excluding RCW/WAC

Note: Washington L&I requires 24 hours of CE for most electrical license renewals, and the standard 24 hours must include a 4-hour course on Washington-specific RCW 19.28 / WAC 296-46B law. This 20-hour package does NOT include that required RCW/WAC course.

• If you’re renewing your Washington electrical license, the Washington 24-Hour Electrical License Renewal Package is the right choice — it includes all four courses below plus the mandatory Washington RCW/WAC (4 Hours) course, satisfying your full renewal requirement at a bundled discount.
• Choose this 20-hour package only if you’ve already completed the WA RCW/WAC requirement elsewhere this cycle, or you’re purchasing CE for purposes other than a standard WA license renewal.

This 20-hour package combines four expert-developed courses that together cover four core pillars every modern electrician needs to master: the latest National Electrical Code revisions, the grounding and bonding rules that keep installations safe, the theory and calculations behind every design decision, and the workplace safety practices defined by NFPA 70E 2024.

What’s included in this 20-hour package

1. NEC 2023: Code Update (Chapters 1–8) — 8 Hours A full walkthrough of every significant change, addition, and revision in the 2023 National Electrical Code. Navigate the newly added Articles — including Article 726 (Class 4 Fault-Managed Power Systems), Article 369 (Insulated Bus Pipe Systems), and Article 512 (Cannabis Oil Equipment) — alongside the major restructuring of medium- and high-voltage rules under new Articles 235 and 245. Covers updates to reconditioned equipment labeling, arc-flash warnings, surge protection, garage branch circuits, emergency disconnects, PV rapid shutdown, EV island mode, and more.

2. NEC 2023: Grounding and Bonding — 4 Hours A deep dive into Article 250 and the specialty grounding rules that protect people and equipment. Covers equipment grounding conductor connections, continuity in boxes, impedance-grounded systems, GFCI and SPGFCI protection across dwellings, pools, marinas, and outdoor outlets, plus equipotential bonding for perimeter surfaces and splash pads. Specialty modules address solar PV, medium-voltage shielding, and panelboard bonding in patient care spaces.

3. NEC 2023: Theory and Calculations — 4 Hours The math behind compliant design. Work through conductor ampacity, branch circuit loads, lighting outlet requirements, and receptacle load calculations for residential, commercial, marina, and EV charging environments. Apply updated standards for overcurrent protection (including adjustable-trip breakers), feeder taps for solar PV, emergency system capacity and supply duration, and voltage drop on fire pumps.

4. NFPA 70E: Electrical Safety (2024 Edition) — 4 Hours The standard that turns code-compliant installations into safe work environments. Build a proper Electrical Safety Program, execute lockout/tagout (simple and complex), perform shock and arc flash risk assessments, determine approach and arc flash boundaries, and select PPE using both the Incident Energy Analysis and PPE Category methods. Includes safety-related maintenance for switchgear, fuses, and rotating equipment, plus specialty practices for batteries, lasers, capacitors, and R&D labs.
