September 10, 2024

Hello All,

Mark has made the decision that this October 7 & 8 - 2023 NEC Code Changes class and this October 21 & 22 - Business Law II class will be the last classes the NKEA will offer. After 40 years of teaching it's time to take another step into retirement!

Please see the Education Page for the updated schedule & registration form if you are interested in the October classes or you are welcome to give me a call at (859) 781-5530.

We appreciate your loyalty over the past years and Mark sincerely hopes he was able to help you understand the code just a little better to keep you all safe and prosperous!

• Duke's Electric Service Manual (Red Book) is updated & can be viewed @ https://www.duke-energy.com/_/media/pdfs/partner-with-us/construction-toolbox/ohio-metering-installations-red-book.pdf?la=en
  • Note that it's a large document and can take a minute to load. You can download a copy for quicker access in the future, but only the online version is guaranteed to be current. Also note pages 3 & 4 will always provide a list of the last 4 revisions to the Red Book.
  • IMPORTANT - Although we do not take responsibility or liability for informing our members, we will make every effort to send you an email blast when there is a change in the Red Book. In order to get this and other info to you in a timely manner, it is your responsibility to keep us updated with any changes in your email address. Please send any changes when applicable to info@nkea.org

  F.Y.I.

  • Please see message from Duke Energy concerning Global Shortages.
  • For those individuals that will be taking the Kentucky Electrician or Master tests through Pearson Vue, note that if you do not pass but have a high enough test grade, Pearson Vue offers a two hour review session that will only show you the questions that you answered incorrectly in an effort to show you the areas that you may need more preparation. There is a fee for taking this review. We suggest any future test takers would be wise to inquire about this service in the event you fall into that category. All of Pearson Vue's contact info can be found on our Licensing Page. Please contact them for more information.
  • There is also a second testing agency, Prov, that can be utilized in the State of Kentucky. Their information can be found on our Licensing Page.
