“We’re pleased to have our training facility and offices ready to host seminar participants and members,” said Mr. Clements. “Seminar participants will not only meet their continuing education goals with IAEI seminars, they’ll do so in a comfortable new setting with great instructors who have years of experience as electricians, inspectors, and instructors.”
About the Seminars
The next seminar is Friday, January 25 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on the topic of One- and Two-Family Dwelling Electrical Systems. Particularly helpful and valuable for inspectors, contractors, electricians, and students, this seminar assists attendees in learning to make more accurate, thorough, and safe installations and inspections of one- and two-family dwellings.
