Significant Changes to the 2023 NEC
The National Electrical Code is the most widely recognized electrical code in the world.
Every three years it is updated to reflect the newest installation practices used by the
electrical industry. This course provides an authoritative, thorough review of the most
significant changes in the 2023 NEC, including new articles and revisions that
contractors and installers alike must understand and apply in their daily operations.
Electrical installations, both in new construction and renovations are subject to
compliance with NEC requirements.
As jurisdictions adopt and enforce each new edition of the NEC, it is very important
that electrical contractors, electrical workers, and electrical inspectors are in tune with the latest minimum requirements. This highenergy, interactive program provide electrical contractors and inspectors with information that helps them with continued success in installation and compliance.
