About Grounded Learning CE
CE courses and exam prep built the way they should be — directly from the NEC, by a fellow electrician with 25+ years in the trade.Why Grounded Learning CE
Built Different. Built Better.
We’re not another course mill. I built every module from the actual NEC because our trade deserves better than recycled content.
Straight from the NEC
No recycled outlines or generic summaries. Every module is developed article-by-article from the actual code — with real-world applications you’ll recognize from the field.Fair, Transparent Pricing
You’ll see your total before you pay — no hidden fees, no surprise charges. Launch pricing details coming soon — quality CE shouldn’t cost a fortune.Built by One of Us
25+ years in the trade — IBEW apprenticeship, commercial and industrial projects, multi-state Contractor’s licensing. I’ve been where you are, and I built these courses with that perspective.English & Spanish
Our full NEC 2026 curriculum is available in professional Spanish. The bilingual workforce is a huge part of this trade — it’s past time someone built courses for them.Four NEC Editions

Pass the assessment, download your certificate. No waiting period, no extra fees. You did the work — here’s your proof.Why This Exists
I Built the Courses I Wished Existed
After 25 years in the electrical trade, I’ve sat through my share of continuing education courses. Most of them were the same experience: recycled generic content, nothing tied to the actual code, and the only goal was to run out the clock so you could print a certificate. You didn’t learn anything. You just checked a box.
That’s not what CE should be. If you’re going to spend hours of your time and your money, you should walk away knowing something you didn’t know before — something that actually matters the next time you open the codebook on a job site.
So I built Grounded Learning CE from scratch. Every module is developed directly from the NEC source materials — the actual code articles, not someone’s summary of a summary. I wrote these courses the way I’d want to learn: real code references, real-world applications, and practical knowledge you can use on Monday morning.
This isn’t a course mill. There’s no team of content writers who’ve never pulled wire. It’s one Master Electrician who’s spent a career in the field, building something that respects your time and our trade.

I came up through a five-year IBEW apprenticeship, ran large-scale commercial and industrial projects, and held Contractor’s licenses in multiple states. I started Grounded Learning CE because I know what it’s like to need CE hours and not want to waste your time. Every module I write comes from that experience.
