Student reviews

I would highly recommend this course for an intensive detail of everything you should know about solar.

I am an electrical contractor and I want my business to move towards specializing in PV. This course has been an excellent starting point towards making that happen

Dr. Sean White's Associate prep course is a must-do for serious exam goers, if they'd like to experience a fun way of preparing for the exam's content !

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to prepare for the NABCEP exam. Although I am a master electrician I am relatively new to the solar industry and found the advanced material in the course to be clearly presented and easy to understand. The practice exams and the explanation videos to the questions on the practice exams were so valuable in helping me gain the knowledge to be able to pass the NABCEP exam and also help in the field with installs and maintenance!

If you are a solar installer or anyone looking to further increase your understanding of PV systems this course is where its at. Sean is an awesome instructor and breaks down complex material into easily understandable concepts .

I passed my test the first time because of Sean's classes and books

As someone who has taught at the undergraduate and graduate level in an engineering discipline for over 30 years, I can say with certainty that Dr. White is an outstanding instructor. He will prepare you to take an pass the NABCEP PV ASSOCIATE EXAM.

This is a great course to prepare for the NABCEP professional exam. It has deepened my understanding of solar, electric, and the NEC, and has not only prepared me for the exam, but has also grown me to do my job better. It's great that you can go at your own pace, you gain valuable knowledge without constant pressure of deadlines. Sean is a great teacher, and this is a great course.

"Multiply Ah by V to get battery capacity in Wh." One of the many tricks I learned from this course.

The Heatspring Advanced PV course is great. There is a large amount of material provided, covering all the exam objectives. Sean and Bill present the material in an often entertaining manner, which helped keep me interested and engaged, so I could learn and retain the knowledge I needed. It definitely was key to helping me pass the exam.

The course goes way beyond just learning about solar. All the additional information related to our craft made me feel like I got more than my money’s worth.

This course helped answer the questions I didn't know to ask about how to design and install solar energy systems, and put them in context.

I can't believe how convenient and efficient this material was to learn. Half-way through this course I received a preliminary sales call from a customer who was interested in off-grid. Already with what I had learned, I was able to answer his questions much more authoritatively. Super grateful Sean and Hotsprings! Can't wait to get started on my Advanced Training!

Great course, I don't recommend taking a break mid-course for a couple months tho lol

I think this course is resoursful if you are a rockie in the solar industry, Sean seems to have an answer for any question you might have.

this a great way to start learning PV the right way. I highly recommend it to all wanting to start in solar or who are already in the space.

I enjoyed the course and learned a lot about PV. I liked the do it at your own pace. Sean was Great and very responsive.

Sean's enthusiasm and humor make this course #1. I feel very lucky to have taken this course with Sean. His response time was also an amazing feature, since this is all remote learning, it was great to have answers to questions within 18h (give or take). Sean's a great teacher, he knows what's important, and he keeps his courses updated!! I loved my experience and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a NABCEP course in Solar.

A rigorous and comprehensive course, that introduces one to the complexities of Solar Systems, and does a good job preparing you for the NABCEP Associates exam.

I found Sean's instruction to be very valuable and an enjoyable way to learn what I need to know while going for the NABCEP PV Installer exam.

Though I am designing the Solar PV system for residential and commercial since 8 years, this course made me mode so confident and more accurate design. I recommend to take this course who are in and thinking to come in PV sector.

Sean is a fantastic instructor! He shares his knowledge and extensive experience in an engaging manner.

I enjoyed the class and it's clear that Sean is incredibly knowledgable.

The course starts from the very basics to be a PV system hands on installer. It has plenty of useful tips and details for the ones as me that are beginning from scratch, and I think that the experienced ones will also find it useful.

Great course, surpassed my expectations by far, very updated the information and the mounting systems (quick mount, invisivmount, rails, etc.) Im crew lead at Freedom Solar power in Texas, i have some friends doing courses in other places but they teach old school systems, not very updated. congrats for that, the install tips for flashings, ballasted, etc are very accurate, like very experience installer, resuming, very happy with the course, many of the things that i knew on the course were by hands on, here i could have a better understanding of the theory and the WHY, as well many knew things learned. Thank you so much.

Sean White is an outstanding instructor and mentor. I enjoyed this course and looking to start PVIP.

I would recommend this course for anyone looking to obtain certification. I have taken other courses and they do not have the detailed explanations that this course covers. Also Sean's knowledge as an electrician speaks volumes.

I would strongly recommend Sean's course(s) to anyone looking to advance their knowledge about solar. His courses are very well designed to create a learning experience that makes you think about and understand each topic very well.

Thanks so much for the class I hope it helps me pass the test

I would highly recommend this course to anyone getting into the solar industry. I have been doing solar for 20+ years and still learned a lot from this course.

Take this course, do what Sean says and you will do well.

My experience with the Heat Spring course was very positive. The design of the course was very well put together in order to help advance the overall understanding of PV systems. The course also did a great job of teaching and helping to understand the technical aspects of PV systems. The course instructor did a fantastic job of thoroughly explaining each of the items and having the discussion platform, for instructor guidance and other student interaction and questions/comments, was very helpful. I also found the flexibility of the training schedule to be very beneficial. Thanks Sean!!

Highly recommended! Sean's humor, industry experience and insight made covering the material very manageable.

A very thoroughly explained prep resource to take the NABCEP. So grateful I invested and took the class. Not only am I more confident to tackle the NABCEP exam, I have a year access to the materials so I can really solidify my knowledge and confidence. Thank you so much! Can't wait to crush the exam!!!

I enjoyed this course so much I'm already reaching out to try and get a program together to get all my employees NABCEP certified.

Graet course for PV beginners. Helps to have some electrical background

Sean is an amazing teacher and he approaches the subjects with tons of knowledge and is extremely easy to follow. He was very informative and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. Some of the small calculator tricks I wish I had been taught in college and will definitely begin using in my everyday life.

This program is an excellent way for those in the PV industry to become familiar with a very wide range of PV design and operation concepts. Sean delivers the information in a way that emphasizes key concepts for all students and provides more in-depth analysis for advanced learners. 5 Stars!

This was a great course! Definitely review the videos or audio files more than once! Thanks!

The Heatspring NABCEP training has been the best professional online training I have seen, particularly for a subject as involved and lengthy as Solar PV and the NEC.. Many, Many Thanks, I'm sure I'll see you guys again! -RRF

Heatspring did a great job making Sean White the instructor for this course. His explanation are very clear and understandable. I have a strong feeling I am going to A's this exam.

This is a great course for anyone getting into the industry.Sean goes into detail on how PV is changing the world and how us as students can dive in and help make a difference. Sean provides much needed knowledge in the simplest way possible.He is ready and quick to answer any questions you have.

I was able to apply this course to my job right from the start of the course. It has definitely enriched my knowledge and understanding.

thank you for your help

Wonderful course that is very informative. Sean is a great teacher who will answer any question that you ask him. Perfect for any knowledge level.

Great course by a great instructor.

You will be known inAfrica before you visit. I will be your marketing guy. Love you man.

This course did a great job reinforcing my decision to continue to invest my time working in the solar industry.

I recommend the online PV Associate course taught by Dr Sean White at Heatspring. The course videos are effective and also entertaining. Communication with the instructor via the discussion board was convenient and the responses I got were prompt and complete.
