EARNING CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS ONLINE
-----------------------------------------
I recently received a notice from the State of Washington to renew my
electrical license. I dutifully paid the renewal fee and quickly
discovered that I was short on CEU's. Among other things, I'm
required to attend at least 4 hours of training on Washington-specific
revisions and administrative rules (RCW/WAC). I travel an average of
40 weeks per year so it's not easy for me to find a classroom seminar
that's available when I'm available. I decided to try satisfying the
requirement online this time and I was pleasantly surprised by the
company ELECTRICALCEU.COM. I was able to quickly download the
required documents and actually take the required test before I paid a
dime. I find that refreshing in this day and age. Once I was
satisfied with the product and once I satisfactorily passed the
required exam, I paid a nominal fee and received credit for the course.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the State of Washington
was notified of my success and I was given credit for the class within
1 day!
I can't say enough good things about http://www.electricalceu.com,
however, it's not for everyone. Currently they offer online CEU
courses for licenses in Alaska, Washington, Wisconsin, Montana,
Oregon, and Idaho. I understand that they are working on adding
courses to be approved in Wyoming, Utah, Arkansas, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine.
If you have an electrical license in any of these states, consider
using http://www.electricalceu.com to renew your license. I think
that you'll find it a painless method to earn the necessary CEU's.
For the record, I did not receive compensation for this endorsement.
