Student reviews

I recently completed the 40-Hour NABCEP Advanced Energy Storage Course along with the Energy Storage bootcamp in preparation to take the NABCEP ESIP Exam. The content within this course is comprehensive, current, and extremely well-structured for anyone serious about advancing their knowledge in energy storage systems. What truly sets this course apart is the instructor, Sean White. His depth of knowledge is matched only by his passion for teaching. Sean has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts and make them both accessible and engaging. His real-world insights, sense of humor, and clear explanations kept the material fresh and enjoyable from start to finish. I'd also like to shoutout the additional sections that include Bill Brooks who also adds so much to this course. This course paired with the recommended reference materials (Energy Storage Basics: Saad Youssefi & Sean White, The Battery-Powered Home: Greg Smith, PV and the NEC: Sean White) will give you all of the information needed to sit for the ESIP exam. Whether you're preparing for NABCEP certification or just want to deepen your expertise in advanced storage technologies, this course is an incredible resource. I came away with actionable knowledge, greater confidence, and a genuine excitement about the future of renewable energy. Thank you, Sean and the Heatspring team for delivering such a high-quality learning experience! Oh, and the answer is YES, I passed on my first attempt!

As a current PVIP, this is the hardest training i've done in Heatspring. There is a lot to take in, but the self paced and small digestible videos make it manageable. Sean does a great job explaining things and keeping some boring content interesting.

Sean's course is well paced and written in a way that even those with basic knowledge of PV and Energy Storage Systems will understand. That's a challenge in itself for such a complicated array of topics. The inclusion of Bill Brooks, who is a leading voice in the code writing panel for Renewable Energy systems is the cherry on top adding tremendous value to the course. It's like taking golf lessons and having Tiger Woods show up to give advice as well. It is a long course, so buckle up and be prepared to watch the course over a week and take notes. Personally I find Microsoft Loop excellent for test prep and note taking.

Great course! Sean White is an awesome instructor!

I think anyone preparing for the ESIP exam should consider taking this course. The sections with Bill Brooks are extremely insightful about how/why the code is written the way it is. All of the code overviews and example/practice questions were helpful to me as well. Sean covered all of the JTA items, which I think will be important for the exam.

Sean's 40-Hour NABCEP Advanced Energy Storage Certification Training is a must for anyone serious about energy storage. Highly recommended for anyone in the energy storage field.

Sean is knowledgeable with the topics discussed.

I recommend this course to those who want to learn new things and additional knowledge on energy storage.

The discussion forum is interactive and enhances the learning experience.

I strongly suggest this course to those who want to gain learning, and improve their skills.

I've liked Heatspring's prior courses, but this seemed like it was just put together real quick from content that was already out there. My expectations were to learn about batteries, yet there was so much solar content that I've already studied in this same platform.
