Course description

Hello there!

Welcome to my 21. course.

This course is a result of the research I made to see which problems people face when they need to work in ePLAN Electric P8 according to the NFPA standard. For this purpose, I asked 10 senior electrical engineers (most of them come from the USA) that have hands-on experience with NFPA style industrial automation projects for feedback. According to their feedback, I've covered all those typical issues people are facing when working on NFPA style ePLAN Electric P8 projects.

But I didn't stop there. I've added a special section at the end of the course where I include additional lectures based on my customer's feedback. So, no excuse for me here. This course is going to continue to grow until we together cover each and every issue people face when they need to work on their NFPA style ePLAN projects.
Make sure to watch also the introduction video for more information about the course.

And see you in the lectures!

Best, Ivan
