Product availability: moderate wait
A bit pricey for what you get, and the guy is alway trying to sell the other dvds in the video and is very distracting! Otherwise is was an alright lesson.
Good course. The set is long and hard to finish but it is packed with lots of good info.

I have been in the electrical profession for 35+ years in one way or another. The National Electrical Code has been my Electrical Bible in the absence of local controlling or manufacturers authority which was stricter than the NEC.
Over my decades of experience in the electrical field, Mark Shapiro is a name synonomous with the NEC, training as well as a proactive element in drafting and contributing to the ongoing development of the NEC and electrical industry
I was fortunate to find SmartFlix on a Google search and found this training set of Mark Shapiro's "Mastering The National Electrical Code 2005" and am in the process of renting this entire series in preparation for my Masters Test.
I recommend Mark Shapiro's DVD Training Series for any electrical professional and this includes renting them from SmartFlix....the rental investment versus purchasing is about 25%...or 1:4 in cash out of pocket....Save with SmartFlix!
MY DISCLAIMER: I had no idea SmartFlix would be sending me a feedback request email for sharing my opinions, they did not offer me any compensation, so I am not being paid or receiving any form of compensation to submit recommendations.
It was OK - it never really covered the code book like it claims.
