DESCRIPTION
Do you plan to take the NABCEP PV Technical Sales Certification Exam? It's notoriously difficult, and this exam prep discussion group is a great way to prepare. We're running this session a little differently than our other courses. Participants will buy a copy of Sean White's 2016 book, "PV Technical Sales: Preparation for the NABCEP Technical Sales Certification," read 1-2 chapters per week, and discuss the material with Sean and the rest of the group on the course discussion board. The discussion group format means that you'll get out what you put in. Participants who do the required reading, ask questions, and discuss the materials will greatly improve their chances of passing the NABCEP PV Technical Sales Certification Exam. We encourage self-motivated solar professionals who aren't afraid to ask questions to join us!
