Re: Resources for Instructors
Good morning, I hope that I am not going to be too
long-winded on this message, but I just felt the need to communicate this message to electricians who are studying for taking the Electrical Exam in their respective State and for different levels of licensing.
I am a Electrical instructor at Delaware Technical Community College, Stanton Campus, Newark, Delaware.
I worked in the Electrical field for 45 years in the Chemical Industry, and am now retired.
I teach three subjects at Del. Tech. and they are as follows:
(1)National Electrical Code for Electricians who
will be taking their State Exam.
(2)Electrical Controls for HVAC/R Systems.
(3)Programmable Logic Controllers, Allen-Bradley
SLC-500.
My favorite subject is the NEC course. At the present time I have ten hard-working electricians in my class, and eight of them will be taking the Masters Exam in the State of Delaware in May, 2005.
The main point of this message is studying for the Exam in a classroom environment is the best way to learn the code and to prepare yourself to pass the exam the first time. But if you do not pass the first time, look at the experience that you have received for taking the next exam.
I have been teaching this course for three years, and I find that each time I am getting more knowledgeable for teaching the NEC course.
At the present time, we are using Mike Holt's Text book, "2002 Electrical Exam Preparation". The state of Delaware will be giving the Exam on the 2002 NEC during the year 2005.
If anyone wishes to contact me, to discuss this matter further, please contact me with a private message, and I would be very happy to discuss this subject by email or by telephone.
