Test Generator Exams – 2011 NEC and 2012 70E – related Courses

Tonya Strickland December 8, 2020 No Comments

The Legacy Test Generator has been undergoing a phase-out over the last few years. The legacy system was built on Flash. Flash has had a long and prosperous life for use in delivering online resources; however, that will end on December 31, 2020. As a result, this system will no longer function beyond 2020, and access to exams for all courses will only be through the LMS Assessments tool.

We have completed migrating exams from the Legacy Test Generator to the new Online Assessments system; however, Legacy Test Generator exams for 2011 Code-related and 2012 Electrical Safety-Related Work Practices (ESRWP) courses will not be converted. To support those program still using some of those older courses, we have created multiple exam versions in PDF format that you can request. For each exam version, we have three variances with the same set of questions shuffled across the three.

The following is the list of courses for which we have PDF exams available. To request exams and answer keys for these courses, please reach out to Steve Strickland by phone at 888.652.4007 or by email at sstrickland@electricaltrainingalliance.org, and let him know if you want different exams (different questions on each) or variations of the same exam (same questions shuffled).

For more information on the decommissioning of the Legacy Test Generator, please see those posts.

Desktop Instrumentation Trainer Kit

Tonya Strickland November 3, 2020 No Comments

The Desktop Instrumentation Trainer kit was created to support each of our programs and our quest for hands-on training materials. This kit brings the main calibration concepts presented in the instrumentation training courses to a smaller, more cost-effective concept. Instrumentation Process trainers are still available and supported; however, this option provides a great first step touchpoint for your student. (more…)
