What a live online class is actually like.

Not a webinar, not a recording with a chat box. Four days with an instructor who stops when somebody is lost, which is the only reason to pay more for live than for recorded.

"Virtual training" covers everything from a genuine class to a sales presentation with slides. Worth knowing which one you are buying.

How the days run

Four days, eight hours each, thirty-two hours in total, spread out rather than consecutive so there is time to absorb and to come back with questions. Live, with an instructor present the whole time. Taught in build order: fundamentals and safety, then design, then installation, then operations and maintenance, closing with examination preparation.

The calculations are worked on screen rather than shown finished. That is the difference that matters: watching somebody reach a wrong number, notice it, and find the sign error teaches more than a clean worked example, and it is the thing a recording cannot do.

What you need

  • A computer with a browser, speakers and a microphone. A webcam is useful and not required.
  • A connection good enough for video. If yours is marginal, say so and we will tell you honestly whether live is the wrong choice for you.
  • A calculator. Not a phone — you will want it beside you, not on the screen you are watching.
  • Paper. More of the design content sticks when you work it by hand first.

Time zones, and being straight about them

We teach on Eastern Time. That works well across the Americas and the Caribbean. It is the middle of the night in much of Asia, and we will say so rather than sell you a class you cannot stay awake for. If you are far from Eastern Time, the self-paced course is the better product and costs less.

Recordings

Sessions are recorded and enrolled participants can rewatch them for the length of their access period. Useful for the design day in particular, which is the one people revisit. The recordings are a supplement, not the course — if you plan to watch rather than attend, buy the self-paced version instead and keep the difference.

Class size

Kept small enough that asking a question is not an event. There is no number we will quote you as a guarantee, because cohorts vary, but the design is for a room where interruption is normal.

What live does not buy you

It does not make the examination easier. NABCEP writes, delivers and scores it. What live buys is the chance to get unstuck in thirty seconds instead of an evening, which for some people is worth the difference in price and for others is not.

Common questions

Is this a webinar?

No. A webinar is a presentation. This is a class with an instructor who stops when somebody is lost.

Can I join from outside Canada?

Yes, and people do. Check the time zone honestly first; we teach on Eastern Time.

Are sessions recorded?

Yes, and enrolled participants can rewatch within their access period. If you intend to watch rather than attend, buy the self-paced course and pay less.

What if I miss a day?

Watch the recording and bring your questions to the next session, or move to the following cohort. Tell us rather than disappearing.
