NEW! 2008 Changes to Grounding and Bonding Training Course For National Electric Code (NEC)!

It’s hard to believe that it’s that time again! Every three years the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) http://www.nfpa.org/ updates the electrical industry's Bible, the National Electrical Code (NEC) and along with the new changes, come new questions.

What are the Code requirements for bonding bushings on 277V or 480V circuits?

Is Ground Fault protection required for a 1200A, 277/480V, three-phase service disconnect switch if it contains a 900A fuse?

The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the most widely adopted Safety Code and used more than any other installation or construction code in the world!

The new 2008 edition responds to industry needs with expanded requirements based on research, new technologies, and recent events.

Whether you are an experienced Electrician or a Maintenance Technician without a formal electrical training background, you NEED to understand the many complexities associated with the National Electrical Code. This is Must-Have Training for anyone involved in Electrical Design, Installation, Inspection, Construction and Safety. Now is the time to train your team and yourself!

New Year – New Code

The New Year brings all kinds of wonderful things, new promises, new dreams, and if you are an electrician – new NEC Code! The NEC 2008 Code is officially out. The code is reviewed and updated on a three year basis and offers great guidelines that help keep electricians and the everyday consumer safe.

For more information on the 2008 NEC Code visit the NFPA site at http://www.nfpa.org/.

Money in the Bank

The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation (Governing Body of the TDLR) recently voted to reduce 21 licensing and regulation fees in 8 of the TDLR programs. The reductions of fees are expected to exceed $ 1,300,000 annually.

TDLR’s Executive Director, William Kuntz said “We perform an annual review of our licensing fees to ensure that each program covers only the cost of operating it.

Before the lower fees can become effective, TDLR’s rules will have to be amended. Adjustment of rules involving 8 programs will take some time, but TDLR staff will begin modifying the rules immediately.

Proposed Fee Reductions for 360institute Students:

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Air Conditioning Contractor Initial - From $130 to $115
Air Conditioning Contractor Renewal - From $80 to $65

Happy Thanksgiving!

We here at 360institute are all getting ready for the holidays and all the turkey and trimmings that come with it. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to eat the meals that we are so fortunate to get. So for this Thanksgiving, we and the rest of the family here at 360training decided to try and help those in need.

For two weeks we had a food drive at our Austin, TX office and we collected over 1,700 pounds of food!! Monday we took our collection of food to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas; they told us the food we collected amounted to 1,375 meals. We feel pretty great about that!

Now to thank you great, loyal blog readers I wanted to offer a blog only special Thanksgiving discount!! You can use this discount on any of the 360institute courses. Just enter THANKS07 in the discount code field for a 10% discount off of any course you want. The discount ends November 31st so make sure enroll soon. Just our way of saying Thanks!!
