On-line NECA Basic Electrical Estimating Workshop
August 2020


Greetings!

NECA is excited to announce that a Basic Estimating Course will be a part of their Virtual Classroom program! NECA is running the first program from September 10, 2020 through October 1, 2020. This is a full interactive online class with students participating in lecture, activities and even homework to replicate the experience of an in-person Basic Estimating class.
 
Because of this, registration is very limited—only 25 spots will be available for this course. To ensure that NECA members across the country can take advantage of this program, NECA will be limiting the number of members from each Chapter and company that can attend. NECA anticipates a late October program to open up soon. 
 
Registration is available here.

This class will take place virtually over several weeks. Participants are required to participate in each class session and complete all homework. Facilitators will be available for office hours to answer any questions.
