"It's rare that one can truly see the passion a writer has for their work come through the work itself. It is even more rare to witness this in educational works such as this. There was no expense spared in the preperation of this workbook. It easily breaks down materials for my students and they enjoy learning from it. I will continue to purchase these educational workbooks for as long as I can."

- P. Vincent (Master Electrician and Vocational Trainer)

"The success of this work is a culmination of years of electrical experience and the cutting edge technical knowledge brought from the future generation. It is the only fully updated electrical guide I have found and the authors of the book have been quick to respond to every question I have sent them, which is extremely rare."
