The Benefits of IAEI Membership

Education

Desiring to provide its members with the best preparation for a rewarding career in the electrical industry, IAEI has designed a program of education that is far-reaching, thorough, and authoritative.

Seminars are offered at the international office, on-site at various corporations and municipalities, and jointly with various sections, chapters, and divisions. Subjects include grounding and bonding, hazardous locations, one- and two-family dwelling, residential inspections, commercial inspections, neon lighting, health care facilities, analysis of code changes, and other topics upon request.

IAEI books are among the best on the market for thoroughly presenting all facets of a given topic. In addition to regular texts, several study guides are tailored to help members pass the various tests required for advancement in his or her career. Code books and other electrical books that have been thoroughly screened for compliance to the codes are also offered.

IAEI News, recognized as the premier publication in the electrical field, always contains articles that are relevant to many of the situations that arise daily for AHJs and installers. It also contains pertinent information on sections, chapters and divisions as well as member activities.

IAEI’s training materials—in PowerPoint format—are highly sought out and eagerly awaited. These materials are prepared for each book and seminar and graphically portray each situation discussed.

Each of the above educational opportunities is offered to members at discounted prices.
