This Residential Wiring Course is a 12 month only access course that comprehensively covers the 2023 National Electrical Code® (NEC®) and essential electrical theory and applications for students to master the critical tasks and responsibilities required for today’s professional electricians in both new construction and existing homes.
This Residential Wiring Course is based on the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC is used as the basic standard for the layout and construction of residential electrical systems. In this course, thorough explanations are provided of Code requirements as they relate to residential wiring. To gain the greatest benefit from this edition, the student must use the NEC on a continuing basis.
It is extremely difficult to learn the NEC by merely reading it. This course brings together the rules of the NEC and the wiring of an actual house. You will study the rules from the NEC and apply those rules to a true-to-life house wiring installation.
Take a moment to look at the Table of Contents below. Notice that this course will not teach you such things as how to drill a hole, tape a splice, fish a cable through a wall, use tools, or repair broken plaster around a box. These things you already know or are learning on the job. The emphasis of this text is to teach you how to wire a house that is Code compliant or that “meets Code.” Doing it right the first time is far better than having to do it over because the electrical inspector turned down your job.
Allow up to 5 business days to receive access codes. You DO NOT access this course from this website.
