NCCER recently revised and released the 10th edition of its electrical curriculum. Written in conjunction with a national subject matter expert committee, all four levels have been updated to meet the 2020 NFPA 70: National Electric Code (NEC). With more than 6,000 NEC references throughout the training materials, ten modules have undergone substantial revisions with a special focus on safety and the latest technology. New sections on employee and employer responsibilities for safety, shock and arc blast hazards, personal protective equipment, and expanded ladder safety were added to the “Safety for Electricians” (26102) module. In addition, modules “Electric Lighting” (26203) and “Practical Applications of Lighting” (26303) have been rewritten with a focus on LED technology. Other updates include a major overhaul of math and tables in load calculations, new information on Bluetooth-enabled technology for test equipment, and added career paths, including utility electrician, substation technician, and maritime electrician, in occupational overview.
