Student reviews

This course was very helpful and it clearly demonstrated essential knowledge needed in the solar industry. It will prepare you with the necessary tools to take and pass the NABCEP associate exam.

Excellent gateway choice for the NABCEP certification

Sean is a great instructor and very knowledgeable. He breaks down each questions to help you understand the basics of PV.

If you, like me, get bored with conventional online trainings, let me suggest this training... which borders on unorthodox.

The content is well laid out, with thorough explanations and easy access to the instructor. Plus it can be done at home, on lunch break, or while taking the train to work. Super convenient! Highly recommended!

waste of money and time.

Having taught online courses in chemistry for the local community college, I can say that this course is well designed. You can always pause the lecture when needed and the discussion posts and quizzes are very helpful.

Sean White purveyed the course material in a creative and easy to absorb way. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to continue their education in solar, or start from scratch and jump head first into the world of renewable energy.

I recommend it to anyone that wants to take the NABCEP Associate test.

I encourage anyone interested in the PV business to take this course.

Its a great way to learn

I would highly recommend the HeatSpring PV Course taught by Dr. Sean White for any individual interested in the great field of solar. Courses are manageable and well thought out.

Take this course! It really works!

This course provides me with a good understanding of solar PV Engineering and Installation. I think it was a good investment to take this course. This course helped me to pass the NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional exam on the first try.

The transition from basic, general information into industry-specific tools almost happens without you noticing. Dr. Sean White is an incredibly active and responsive online instructor and supports you through the course at whatever speed fits your needs.

This course did effectively prepare me for the NABCEP Associate Exam. I look forward to the 40 hour professional PV installer course.

Sean White explains everything you need to know to pass to NABCEP entry level exam. It is done in a clear and concise manner

I feel much more confident in my understanding of solar principles after completing Sean White's PV Installer Boot Camp.

Better yet, I already referred two guys that I know to take the boot camp and installer classes through here!

The course helped to connect the dots and fill in blanks of my understanding.

This is a great course packed full of information in a user friendly format. You get your money's worth with all of the course information plus additional bonus information to further you studies. Having the audio files of the videos available for reviewing while commuting is a great tool.

Very great instructor and course - I came away from a speed-taking of the course (2.5 weeks) going from 0 knowledge about PV to nearly scoring a 100 on a practice level PV exam.

Easy to follow, informative and simple.

Thorough, convenient, easily understood, extremely informative and worthwhile learning tool: Well worth the cost of the course and I'll definitely recommend to friends and co-workers.

I really enjoyed the NABCEP Associate course. It is well thought out with clear goals and objectives. Dr. White is a great teacher and makes every effort to understand and answer your questions. I plan on taking many more courses through Heatspring. It is a worthwhile investment in my future.

I would recommend this course to anyone that needs to learn more about the various processes of the solar industry.

A comprehensive course taught by a true wizard of the solar industry… He will make sure that you find understanding and competence with the curriculum, even if you get just foolishly hung up on something simple… Can't lose here, this is not to just pass a test, works great for that, but truly you can go from that to serving your customers and yourself with confidence and competence.

I really liked Dr. White's approach to teaching the different and difficult technical issues encounter in the design, installation and maintenance on a PV system.

This course was a great preparation for the Associate Exam, and made the entire process super easy and stress-free.

Really enjoyed the course. Great primer on PV!

This course is a real slam dunk! Anyone looking to advance there career and knowledge in the Photo voltaic field will benefit huge from the material covered in this course. Well done Sean White and Heat Spring!! Thanks for a well thought out informative class, I feel 100% confident that I will pass my Nabcep Associate's exam with ease after completing this course!!

I took the NABCEP PV Installer exam this morning and did not feel that it was as difficult as I remembered the NABCEP entry level exam to be. But I did not have the benefit of Sean's teaching back then. No matter what my score on the exam today, I am sure that it will be at least 30 points higher for having taken this course! Thanks Sean!

If your new to the industry this course gives you the fundamentals of PV as a foundation of knowledge to build on.

The course was very helpful for me. It freshed up the rather dry and sometimes boring/ difficult topics of the NEC.

this is a really good course tho the videos are alittle long i do have a short attention span tho so it could just be me.

I appreciated this course. Next step is to pass the exam, and a bigger challenge will be find a job as a PV installer and gain installation experience (I live in a state where solar has not taken off, so maybe I will need to move out of state). This course gives me basic knowledge as I start this job-searching process post-exam, and I hope it will give me a good foundation to start my hands-on experience as an installer. The instructor is very punctual and helpful in his responses to discussion board questions. His lectures cover a variety of topics as he tries to give you a big-picture view of the solar energy industry in this entry level course. The way he repeats important concepts throughout the course as reminders is also very helpful.

This course study through HeatSpring was very effective and Sean kept the lessons interesting and easy to understand.

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.
