About the Course:

This Installing Raceways microcredential prepares learners to install electrical raceways in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70) and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. Students will explore raceway types, sizing methods, labeling procedures, and proper installation techniques to ensure safe, compliant, and professional electrical system routing. For a complete skill set, explore our Photovoltaic Technician Course to gain broader photovoltaic installation knowledge.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key NFPA 70 (NEC) articles that govern the use, installation, and construction of raceways.
  • Select and size raceways appropriately based on conductor fill, environment, and application.
  • Install and label raceways in compliance with NEC and AHJ standards. This is a stepping stone toward mastering full PV systems in our Solar Course Online.
  • Execute neat, workmanlike installations that reflect industry best practices.

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
