What it is
The Electrical Association offers state-approved continuing education courses for electricians, including a self-paced course covering Class 4 Fault-Managed Power Systems. The course is approved in MN, ND, SD, NE, WY, CO, and MT, priced at $397, and is part of their broader NEC code update curriculum.
Why it matters
Electricians pursuing license renewal in seven states now have a named, approved pathway to gain CE credit specifically on Class 4 FMP systems. This institutional recognition within state-approved training frameworks reduces AHJ friction and signals maturation of FMP from emerging standard to mainstream contractor knowledge requirement.
