Training Program Description
Introduction and Overview
Successful NEC navigation requires a clear understanding of the Code’s purpose, structure, and organization, as well as the ability to identify and apply new and revised requirements. This section establishes the foundation needed to efficiently locate, interpret, and apply the 2026 NEC to real-world installation and maintenance scenarios.
Topics include:
- Introduction to the NEC®, purpose, scope, and enforcement
- NEC organization and navigation techniques
- Identifying changes in the 2026 NEC
- Basic requirements of Articles 90, 100, and 110
- Termination and torque requirements
- Working space and access requirements
- Arc flash hazard labeling and safety considerations
Wiring and Protection
Branch circuits, feeders, overcurrent devices, and protective equipment form the backbone of electrical distribution systems. This section focuses on proper sizing, selection, and installation from the utility service through individual loads in accordance with the 2026 NEC.
Topics include:
- Distribution systems from the utility service to individual loads
- Size and installation requirements for:
- Branch circuits

Overview of Additional NEC Modules (Code Changes Emphasis)
The following NEC modules are addressed in an overview format. Each topic is significant enough to warrant a dedicated stand-alone course; therefore, emphasis is placed on key requirements and changes introduced or revised in the 2026 NEC.
Special Occupancies
Special occupancies typically involve environments where people work but do not reside. Coverage is adjusted based on student needs and focuses on Code changes and application considerations.
Topics may include:
- Hazardous (classified) locations
- Class I, Division 1 and 2
- Class II, Division 1 and 2
- Health care facilities
Special Equipment
Certain types of equipment include NEC requirements that modify or supplement general installation rules. This section highlights notable requirements and changes affecting specialized equipment.
Topics may include:
- Signs
- Elevators and lift systems
- Welding equipment
- Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems
- Wind electric systems
Special Conditions and Systems
Special conditions and systems modify general wiring and control requirements and are often associated with critical power continuity and safety functions.
Topics may include:
