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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
