NFPA 70E training qualifies the people who work on or near energized electrical equipment — and documents it. Our courses are taught live by a Certified Safety Professional on the current 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, in 4-hour, 8-hour, and 2-day formats, delivered virtually over Zoom or Microsoft Teams or onsite at your facility, nationwide.
What is NFPA 70E training? Instructor-led training on NFPA 70E — the Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace — that teaches workers to recognize electrical hazards, establish an electrically safe work condition, respect approach and arc flash boundaries, and select the right PPE, and gives employers the documentation behind qualified-person status. Ours is taught live on the current 2027 edition, virtual ($275/person) or onsite.
NFPA 70E is the Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, published by the National Fire Protection Association. It is the standard employers across the country build their electrical safety programs on: how to assess electrical hazards, when equipment must be de-energized, where the approach and arc flash boundaries fall, what PPE the work requires, and who is permitted to do it. NFPA 70E training is the class that puts that framework into workers' hands — and produces the training records an employer's program stands on.
The standard's central idea is the qualified person: someone who has demonstrated the skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the equipment involved, and has received safety training on the hazards. Note both halves — instruction plus demonstration. A class alone doesn't make someone qualified on gear they've never seen, and no card in a wallet substitutes for either half. Our courses deliver the instruction side thoroughly and give employers the documentation they pair with their own task-level verification.
Every class we teach is built on the current standard — the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, in effect since May 6, 2026 — not the superseded 2024 edition still circulating in many training decks. And every class is live: virtual over Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or onsite at your facility with your equipment as the teaching material. For the class built specifically around the arc flash hazard, see our arc flash training page.
The agenda below is the 8-hour qualified electrical worker day; the 4-hour refresher compresses it for workers who hold a current qualification, and the 2-day intensive extends it with deeper casework. Every module is taught to the 2027 edition.
Same curriculum, same CSP-certified instructor, same 2027 edition — pick the delivery that fits your team's size, locations, and schedule.
Weekly live classes your workers join from anywhere — never a recording. Register one worker or a handful; teams across states train together in one session. The fastest route to a documented qualification date.
The instructor comes to your plant, data center, or job site and teaches the standard on your switchgear, your labels, and your procedures — the strongest format for full crews and site-specific programs. Groups capped at 20.
A dedicated session for your organization only — scheduled on your dates, tailored to your industry, and scoped to your mix of first-time qualified workers, refresher candidates, and awareness-level staff.
The dividing line the standard draws is exposure to electrical hazards — not job title. Electricians and maintenance technicians who work on or near energized equipment need it to support qualified-person status. Operators and facilities staff who rack breakers, reset equipment, or work near electrical hazards need training scaled to their exposure. And the EHS managers and supervisors who sign energized electrical work permits and run the electrical safety program need to understand what they're signing.
Training is also where the legal duty lives. OSHA's electrical safety standards for general industry (Subpart S), together with the General Duty Clause, require employers to protect workers from recognized electrical hazards — and NFPA 70E is the industry standard OSHA recognizes as the way to do that. OSHA does not mandate NFPA 70E by name; what it expects is a demonstrably effective program, and current, documented NFPA 70E training is how most employers show they have one.
Retraining has a clock: intervals not to exceed three years, and sooner when job tasks or equipment change, procedures change, an incident or near-miss occurs, or observed performance shows a deficiency. If your last class was taught on the 2024 edition, the 2027 changes below are a concrete reason not to wait for the calendar.
The 2027 NFPA 70E has been in effect since May 6, 2026, superseding the 2024 edition. These are the changes a class taught on 2024 material never mentions.
