Sheridan Technical Center is now one of only 8 centers in the state that are registered to administer the NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) PV Entry Level Exam.

Sheridan Technical Center’s Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Design, Installation, and Maintenance program offers a sequence of courses that provide coherent and rigorous New Energy content.
According to national and local standards, students will be trained by hands-on experience in the actual installation of a PV system, including transporting and fitting appropriate materials. Also, training will include the testing of the PV system components in order to ensure optimum performance and safety.

Upon completion of  the program, students can now take the NABCEP PV Entry Level Program right at Sheridan Tech Center.  The exam is designed for those individuals wanting to get into the solar field; achievement of the NABCEP PV Entry Level Exam is a way for candidates to demonstrate that they have achieved a basic knowledge of the fundamental principles of the application, design, installation and operation of grid-tied and stand-alone PV Systems.
