The 2020-21 electrical training ALLIANCE curriculum continues to roll out some new and exciting resources. First, the ’20-21 Training Essentials catalog was released in April, and made available for download by logging into the member’s area of our site. The ’20-21 student Syllabi, and the Course Level and Credit Summary (CLCS) Catalog and Roadmap view worksheets are also available… well…in the CLCS. Now as we near the July 1 date for the ’20-21 content use, many courses have been made available. (more…)
#TPTuesday Remote Learning Series Quizzes and Completion Certificates
After the popular question about how JATCs could determine if their students had watched the #TPTuesday Remote Learning Session webinars, the electrical training ALLIANCE recently completed the addition of both a quiz and a completion certificate to accompany each webinar.
Now you can simply have your students:
- View the webinar either live or later in the Training Partner Symposium course
- Take the quiz (gaining at least a 70% grade)
- Print/Download their own completion certificate as proof of completion.
Some have also asked for the ability to show licensing agencies the completion of the “course” in hopes of having the class count for continuing education credits (hours). For this reason, you will notice in the bottom right hand corner of the certificate is a code that is unique to each certificate. This is intended to help the licensing agencies feel more comfortable that the certificate was not in any way altered from the original and is specific to an individual.

#TPTuesday Remote Learning Sessions Rolling Along!
The inaugural presentation from Greenlee was a success by all accounts! But we certainly understand that some may not have been able to see this event live but have no fear it is available to anyone that wants to access it in the Training Partner Symposium course. (More information about the Symposium is available here.) Each week, the recording of the Remote Learning Session will be posted to the appropriate “lesson” in the TP Symposium Course. To find this course, click here.
We now move along to the next presenter in the #TPTuesday Remote Learning Sessions, Lutron.

Title: Meeting Energy Codes with Wireless Lighting Controls
Time: Tuesday April 21st @ 6 PM Eastern Time
Learning Objectives:
Students will learn the lighting control requirements of today’s major energy codes, an overview of a basic wireless lighting control system and how to design those components to meet energy code requirements.
Speaker: Micah Martin
Background:
Micah Martin has 10 years of field service experience, 5 of which are with Lutron. He has been working for Lutron for 8 years now, and for the past 3 years has been devoted to launching Lutron’s newest commercial wireless control system. The system is called Vive, and the simplicity of design and easy to use software has empowered Electrical Contractors to evolve from install-only contractors, to one-stop-shop installer, programmer, service providers. Micah has visited over 50 JATC’s on the East Coast and has provided dozens of classes on Vive to apprentices and Journeyman alike on how take advantage of this new technology to take better care of their customer’s needs, keep more labor local, and increase their per-installation profit margins..
