Sean is really good at explaining this material. Not only does he do a good job of keeping some of the dry material interesting but he makes sure to repeat key points in following sections to help them stay in your brain.
To Whom It May Concern: I searched for online educational options after I committed to study for the NABCEP Professional Installers Certification Exam. I studied daily for 3 months; ie, including weekends. Admittedly, there were multiple instances of frustration and feelings of hopelessness. When you experience, and you will, just persevere. I suspect frustration is normal when trying to learn something new and technical such as solar. My preparation consisted of meticulously reviewing and re-reviewing each of Sean's videos; including completing each practice problem multiple times. I also changed the variables in the problems and solved them for practice. Sean's approach to presenting the content was key in my exam preparation. I found it beneficial extrapolating concepts in his videos and applying them in potential 'real life' circumstances. In addition, Sean's availability and responsiveness was extremely beneficial. He responses were consistently timely and thorough - he is a very valuable resource. Together with Sean's involvement/support and the content of the course, I was well prepared for the exam. Having access to valuable tools (eg, Sean's course) alone will not get the job done. You must commit to put in the necessary time and effort. Though I have a few degrees in science and business, the exam proved to be one of the most challenging I have yet to encounter. Though I passed the exam upon my first attempt, I walked out of the session not really knowing how I did (I guess that, too, is normal). In closing, I highly recommend Sean's course to anyone who is serious about passing the exam. Good luck!
You can't beat this course by Sean White to gain a solid foundation in solar PV concepts. Sean is an experienced professional and brings a real world perspective to the topics covered for the NABCEP Associates exam.
Great program!! Made it easy to understand especially for people who don't have much experience in PV or the math behind it.
This class was great i loved how it went through the beginning of PV and how it started all the way to present day. Sean has an awesome attitude and a true passion about solar and his knowledge is immense in renewable energy. Great person to have as a teacher.
As a current solar installer this course truly helped me grasp the fundamentals of the industry and spurred my desire to advance my knowledge.
I enjoyed the Associate PV Heat Spring course. It was very informative and helped me prepare for the NABCEP associate exam. I could tailor the course to my schedule which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in getting into solar PV.
If you are considering entering the world of PV and have found the multiple options for education, go with Sean White! This course is very challenging, but the way he presents a massive amount of information, is digestible. I highly recommend this to everyone interested in this field.
I normally don't do well with online courses, I like being in a classroom better, but this was the best online course I've taken, Sean really knows his stuff.
I would strongly recommend this course for anyone trying to get their NABCEP certification. It makes learning the material very easy and prepares you well.
This course is good for anybody that's willing to learn. You don't have to be a genius to comprehend how pv systems work.
this is my first online course but beleive me i prefer online course to campus course
If you are new to PV this course is a must. The instructor, Sean White, does an amazing job of engaging with every student in the chapter discussion boards, his lectures are informative and fun, and the course material is well paced. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a better understanding of PV.
This course is perfect for people working full-time, so that they can work at their own pace, while not compromising the quality of education.
100% recommend, instructor Sean White explains PV in great way.
Highly inspiring,illustrative,intuitive and very user friendly. Loved it. Compliments for good job
Sean White is an awesome teacher! His teaching methods are interesting, engaging, fun, informative, and super helpful. I love his down to earth personality and approach, and how he goes step by step through the process. It's a great walk-through for learning how to navigate through the code book - which is a great real world simulation for the exam conditions. Also, I love the handy-dandy calculator short cuts as well as thinking about things such as the test room and state of mind, etc. Plus his sense of humor is an added benefit. I will keep drilling and reviewing the videos and materials, but I feel like I am really ready already. I would highly highly recommend this for anyone planning to sit for the NABCEP exam. In fact, I've been telling some of my coworkers about how great this course is already. Thanks!
I am so thankful for the opportunity to take this course from one of the greatest teachers!
If you need a basic knowledge and a little field knowledge take this course its great
Sean explains the material in the book and in the lectures in a manner that is very easy to follow and very easy to understand. In my opinion anyone who is willing to take this course should use Shaun White's class and lecture because I didn't go to school for electrical and how they would understand everything that was taught. I truly feel that I am ready to take the knapsack entry level exam with confidence and being able to pass the test with ease.
I felt very well prepared for the NABCEP Installer Exam after taking this course. The test covers so much material that it is difficult to create a course that touches on everything you may be tested on. This course seems to do that about as well as is possible given the scope and difficulty of the test. Recommended.
Come back to me in 6 weeks, after I find out whether I passed the exam tomorrow (10/22/16)! LOL
Sean's course is a must before the NABCEP test!!!
I feel confident about entering this field thanks to the excellent material in the PV NABCEP prep course! Very patient and helpful teachers and support staff.
