Testimonials From Our Valued Customers
November 19, 2009
Dear Mike,
I have been a student/seminar attendee for 33 years. Because of you I have achieved more than I originally dreamed of when I started in business on May 1, 1973.
Over the years I have mimicked your approach to our trade with the employees we have had. I firmly believe this trade requires more skill and mental acuity than any other trade. Unfortunately, many of my fellow contractors do not treat their employees the same, thinking of them as strictly tools, to work until no longer needed. The need for education in our industry is essential to the industry's continuance. For myself, I never felt more proud than when an employee graduated apprenticeship school/training and later went on to become a journeyman/master.
Thanks for the years of substantial training and my continued success.

I have been doing business with Mike since he started and I have been friends with Mike since then. I can honestly say that Mike would bend and help any person than needed any expertise and advice. I can say that Mike is probably one of the best instructors in our field. Mike is one great inspiration to all electricians.
Great job, Mike.

I would like to thank everyone there that has help me get through the testing for limited energy for the state of Florida. All the knowledge that you passed on to me was remarkable. I will say that it was the longest 6 days of my life then, but now it seems that it took no time at all. For anyone that might be hesitant....don’t - it will be the best thing that you could do in order to get ready for your exam. If it had not been for you guys I do not think that I could have done any of it.

Sarina was very pleasant to talk with on the phone in assisting me with help. I am looking at using some of Mikes books as training materials for my classes. Your teachers books are an asset for Instructors to use to teach our young students (and adults). The wording, examples and great illustrations help me to present the material in a simple manner without leaving a lot of "gray" areas for the student. Keep up the good work!
Harry McGuire

Friendly and very professional. I've been dealing with Sarina and the staff at Mike Holt for nearly 20years I've always been very satisfied. The staff shows a very high degree of professionalism and respect for the customer.

I am pleased with the overall quality of people and material. I have been using your Exam Prep book for the past 4 years with my Electrical Occupations high school students. I like it because it includes electrical theory and code applications. The questions in this text often generate relevant questions and statements from our students. The text also challenges our students because it is written at or above high school grade level.
Andrew Jacobs
October 29, 2009
Sarina is a top-notch customer service person. She answered all my questions directly and offered helpful suggestions. I look forward to attending one of your seminars and purchasing your products. Your products (graphics) exceed anything I have seen in the industry.

The professional attitude is very hard to find these days. Thanks for everything you folks do. I have used Mike Holt materials since the early 1990's. When I find something that works for me I stay with that product. I receive offers from many other companies offering the alleged same services as Mike. Those offers are promptly recycled as I know where I am going for all of my training needs. Thanks again for a great product and great support for those products.

Just a note to say how helpful the NEC Exam Prep information was in preparing me for my Master's License. I passed both Indiana county I live in as well as the Kentucky State Master's. The information in your prep guide was a big part of what made that happen and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

Professional, quick and accurate response. I have dealt with Mike Holt Enterprises on numerous occasions, and frequently use the web site for my employees, and my personal training. The on-line sample tests are very good, and the study material is the best I've found. I've tried other providers, and discovered that Mike Holt's products are superior. I keep the website in my favorites to constantly verify each states requirements, and links. I also use Mike's code questions for my weekly training for my employees, which they truly appreciate.
Great job, keep it up.
Gary Williams

Fast shipment and friendly service. Keep up the good work! I was able to get the books I needed for school much faster and more reasonably priced than my class mates. I will look to you for any future purchases you can supply me with.
Thanks!

In my opinion as a electrical instructor and Electrical Inspector in the state of Ohio , with over 40 years in the electrical field Mike has the best training manual around, the graphic are great. I use three of his training manuals in my training classes John Hall student for ever from 1987 Electrician Journeyman Certificate.
John Hall
October 21, 2009
I am pleased with how quickly the materials reached me. Very speedy.
Thank you Mike Holt for providing such excellent material. I am an electrician working for the LOGCAP project in Iraq and need to keep up on the latest changes in the code as well as review older material. It is very difficult to get the training and information needed when you are in a war zone. Thanks to you, I now have the materials I need to help me get my job done properly and safely. Thank you for your support!
Joseph McDonald

Excellent product and advice. The DVDs are proving themselves invaluable for the electricians within our agency. They are saving our instructors countless hours of course preparation and providing excellent training at the same time resulting in meeting agency training goals and saving taxpayer money.
Thank you and keep up the good work you're doing.

Edward Gorginian

I am currently using the Motor Controls text in a class I'm teaching. I find it to be clear and simple to understand. The pictures and diagrams are great! This makes 4 or 5 of Mikes books that I've used over the years and I refer to them time and time again even to explain something at work. Thanks for another quality product

Sarina,
In the past I’ve spent about 4 weeks going over motors, motor circuiting, and motor controls. The students really seem to struggle with the motor controls part. I’ve purchased your book “Mike Holts Illustrated Guide to Understanding Basic Motor Controls” and really like the straightforward, step by step approach. I think that there are many illustrations in this textbook that fill in the blanks for those students that are struggling. I’d like to use some of the illustrations in the textbook in my class.
Jeff Sobczyk

Keep putting out quality products!You have a very professional organization. I would like to pat Patti Conrader on the back. She was very very helpful answering my question. She also returned phone calls to me in a timely fashion. Your products are worth every penny. The material and the way you present them make it easy to understand. I am using only Mike Holt product to fulfill all of my CEUs. In today's world, you must keep up with all of the changes. This is difficult to do. Your products make it much easier to do. Keep up the good work.

I completed the six day cram course on Wednesday September 16, 2009 and I took the Technical exam on Thursday the 17th. Its with a heart filled with gratitude that I am informing you that I've passed the test. I've encouraged an associate of mine to purchase the complete package with DVD's and cram session. Thanks again for all your help and flexibility with getting into the class. Before Mike Holt's prep I scored a 68% - with the prep class I blew it out of the water!

Jesse
September 24, 2009
The DVDs and the panel of experts are very informative. For the first time in my career I feel like I actually understand exactly what the code means. I wish I would have spent the money years ago. They are much worth it. I
actually look forward to the next DVD.

Matt
September 22, 2009
John was a good teacher kept things lively & upbeat so as to avoid becoming bored & losing focus. As I have been an electrician some 21 years now & have operated a business in Florida for going on five years I am quite familiar with the trade as you can imagine. This course focused on passing the test which is not necessarily the same as being a good electrical contractor. Even with my experience I was able to pickup some additional knowledge which I probably would have either had to find by trial & error. Overall a very informative class.
Jeff Varcadipane
September 22, 2009
I am very pleased with the quick service I received and the kindness of your employees and have told my co-workers about you.
John
September 21, 2009
I would like to thank John and George for there dedication and commitment to all the students who attended the September 09 unlimited course. This course was top notch and well executed. John really knows how to break questions down into there simplest form. I took both business and technical exams and scored a 99% on the first try. WOW!!! I couldn't believe how confident I was going into and during the exam. I finished both business and technical exams with 1 hr remaining to review each. For future students I would recommend taking the tests immediately after the course and also taking the business and law exam first.
Thanks Again,
Jeremy Saunders

Content was excellent. I would not have passed without this class. John was EXCELLENT. Probably the best instructor I've ever had. Extremely knowledgeable, but also funny and interacted well with the class. George was also great - they made a good team.
Overall - excellent class, great instructor, well worth the time & money.

Courteous attitude and punctuality - why mess with perfection? After researching different companies, I decided to order necessary materials from MikeHolt.com. The best value for my money and particular product availability were the deciding factors.
Steven
September 16, 2009
To the Mike Holt Gang I wanted to say thank you for your kindness and support every time I called. I have been reading Mike's Understanding the NEC book for several months, along with the NEC. I recently had to take the CA electrical exam, and passed with a very good score. As the key to this test was being able to navigate the code, and carefully read the question wording, it was the study of Mike's book that gave me the edge. I still recommend this book as an excellent way to study and make sense of the NEC. Thanks again.
Eric
September 16, 2009
GOOD NEWS - I passed my WA general administrator's exam. I extensively used Mike Holt's exam prep - electrical calculations book. It was EXCELLENT. I took it with me into the test and it helped me immensely. Thank you for both the book and the forums,

I took 2008 Changes to the NEC - Part 1. Works well. Was easy to follow, and enjoyable. Thanks
August 28, 2009
Thank you very much, Patricia.This was the first time I had tried the online education and it was very interesting. By working through the test material over a few days I think I may have gotten more out of it than when I sit in a class room with 20 other people and try to make it all the way through the material in one night without nodding.

August 19, 2009
Great personal service and the products are the best. These courses are the best training value on the market. The programs let you learn at your own pace, and the combination of the videos and instruction manuals make the learning process fun. I keep the materials at work and when a question comes up I refer to the manuals or put in the video and go to the specific section in question. These courses have become an indispensable tool in my profession.
I attended the 4 day seminar in Orlando a few weeks ago and the training, value and entire experience was top notch. I appreciate the effort of Mike and the staff in making the experience the best seminar I have ever attended, both for the content and atmosphere. The things I learned in this seminar were helped me my first day back on the job. Keep up the great work! The website is also a great tool to improve our profession. As a company, Mike Holt Enterprises has brought education and professionalism to new level in our industry. If you want to succeed in the electrical industry, Mike Holt is as essential as your Kleins.

James
August 5, 2009
After viewing the quality and illustrativeness of your motor controls book, I had to check it out. I'm not disappointed. Some of the illustrations are just the missing pieces that my students needed to put it all together. I'm thinking of rearranging my class lectures and homework assignments because of the order/presentation/completeness of this book. I may be in contact with you later this year for usage of illustrations in my class. Thank you.

Mike, I think it is great that as you have grown you have not lost your focus. In times like these it is a challenge to stay focused on quality, service and customer satisfaction, but you are totally committed. My son and I are looking forward to the boost (and information) we will get in the first day and the education (and boost) we will get on Saturday. I am bringing my entire company to the Saturday session. All seven of us, but hey, how many companies will have 100% there? Looking forward to the annual "how ya doin'".

The materials are well thought out, presented logically and in a very understandable manner. Little, if any further explanation of the materials is needed after the initial presentation in the workbooks/instructional books. Learning through Mr. Holt's materials is quick, enjoyable, and 'real world useful'.
Your materials are putting a lot of the pieces together for me, as well as filling in quite a few gaps in my knowledge. Your stuff is great, and I passed! So, again I say, 'Thanks'.

I appreciate the concise manner in which your Illustrated Guides are constructed.
July 9, 2009
I passed my Masters test years back and your study guide was a huge factor. Many electricians try the "keep takin' it till ya pass" method. I can't think of a bigger way to waste time and money.I have helped several coworkers and friends pass their test. The first thing I tell anyone is to order your book and start working the chapters. With a little coaching and your book most will stop the page flipping stage and are able to go straight to the required info needed. I wanted to tell you and your team thanks for all the great work that goes into your products and service.

Dear Mike, After almost 3 months of listening to your DVD (the set of 10) I feel I know you like my brother! I just came back from taking my commercial electrical test, although I don't know the results yet, I feel great about the test. I could have never down it without your presentation. I have been in the electrical business all my life and now at 61 I am, as they say, reinventing myself.

Sarina,
The class was just as I expected - after being through it three years ago
I knew it would be first rate. John and George did an excellent job. They kept us awake and interested!
I can't say enough about John and his abilities to get the message across. I took the business test today and got a 99%. I also got a 99% on the tech portion! THAT SAYS IT ALL !!!!

Sarina,
I just passed the technical unlimited today; I passed the Business yesterday. Both were my first attempts at the state test. I did everything you and Mike recommend as far as study time, and with that and the class I was more than prepared to pass the tests.
Thank you to John, George, Mike, and you for all your help!
Donnie Wilson

I took the KY masters exam after home studying myself, but failed with a 55%. I then purchased your masters exam material and thought it was excellent. After 4 weeks of intense study I passed with confidence.
The videos were extremely helpful, especially if you pause as Mike says, answer the study question then keep going. I was extremely happy with the videos even before I took the test - the knowledge I gained was that fast and noticeable. Thanks so much.
Terry Key

I bought the test prep material online and didn't interact with anyone. The web site is clear and my purchase went without any glitches.
A quick note to thank you and your team for the quality of the work in your exam prep material. I added the hard work and practice... and I passed my CT license yesterday, 1st try with a grade of 85.7/100. Again, thank you very much!!

Hi, I wanted to thank Mike Holt and his team for the friendly and professional way that I was dealt with when I called with my questions, and with the help on my order. Understanding the NEC is a book that I am actually learning from thanks to the explanatory material, and the excellent graphics. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing clarification on many of the code rules.
Thanks again.

I would like to thank you for the 2008 Exam Prep Book that I purchased. I
found out in March that I had to go to a job in Utah and would only have a
couple of months to study for the exam. Not being a good test taker I was
pretty worried. When I started reading your Prep book it all came back to
me and the more of it that I completed the better I felt. When I sat down
to take the test I was confident I could pass it, which I did on the first
try. Thank you for an excellent learning tool. I will guarantee that the
next time I need to study for an exam, or just need to learn something on my
own I will be looking to you for the material.
Once again thank you,

I ordered your study program for my Masters electrical for Washington State in early March. I only gave myself three weeks to study. I listened to all the DVDs and picked through the books while listening. I signed up after a week of studying and two weeks later I sat for a 7 hour day on a Saturday. I took the test mostly to see what I needed to study. Surprise - I passed first time! I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU GUYS!! I can't give enough thanks.
God Bless.

March 11, 2009
First off I would like to thank you for the work of putting together study guides that really worked for me. When I first started on my way to getting a state license it was overwhelming looking at the NEC 2005. Once I got the exam preparation material it seemed like a long time before I was done with all those questions, four months, but when I was finished the code book was not so confusing any more. I only missed one question for sure, it was a calculation of millihenreys. I figure it was one of those you should miss for sure.
Keep up the good work,
John Gonzales

Hello Sarina,
1. I rate this class a 10++++++++
2. The most important thing I learned was to stay calm and focused
3. I was not disappointed by the course in any way
4. Approximately 99% of the questions I got on my test were covered in class or I learned how to look up the information
5. John Mills is hands down the best instructor I have had the opportunity to learn from. He broke down the information where even a 3rd grader could understand it. He kept us all focused and made the class enjoyable
6. Yes, you may use my comments in any way, shape or form you deem necessary to promote this outstanding course
And by the way, I passed both exams. This course helped me realize a goal I had set for myself a long time ago.
Best regards,

February 15, 2009
I think this course is a very good one for someone who doesn't like to cut corners in his education. It makes you read the content and also look it up in the code book to get used to finding information. It still took time, though, which we don't always have a lot of but it's more convenient not to have to take off of work to get my continuing education.

I since have obtained my Delaware masters license and am actively working in the field overseeing the field work as the license holder on projects ranging up to 60 million dollars.
This past year I decided to teach continuing Ed classes in NJ and DE. I again relied heavily on your products including DVD’s and Power points. I thought my 1st class this past weekend and was and overwhelming success I had all good comments on my feedback surveys. So thank you for you help and encouragement.

Good morning Sarina. Thanks to all the staff at Mike Holt for the excellence in which the Exam Prep Class was handled. Starting with John and Jorge, I can not say enough. It was as he stated from the very beginning. All we need to do is listen to him and follow his instructions and advice and we'll pass the test. I honestly believe that I would not have passed the test with as much ease, let alone at all, if it were not for that week I spent in Kissimmee cramming. I do not believe that I wouldn't have passed the test eventually, but the course provided something that is pretty difficult for any of us to get at home and that's uninterrupted study and concentration. I have done my share of studying at home for other exams as well as continuing education courses. Mike has been my mentor since I started with you guys back in 1990. But there is no way I would have reached the level of focus and preparation had I attempted to study on borrowed time at home or work. I will say this; any person even contemplating taking the state exam will be doing them selves a tremendous injustice if they do not take this course. I strongly believe you simply can not be better prepared any other way. Not just for the exam itself, but with all the help and advice we received along the way. John and Jorge really wanted us to pass that test and they couldn't have given any more of them selves to show it. Thanks to John and Jorge and all of you at Mike Holt for the years of help and encouragement you have given me and countless others. You are truly my second family. Thank you and God Bless you. He has certainly Blessed me and my family.

I would never have been as mentally ready for the challenge, had I not spent the time in your class the prior week. I passed the first time and that was the goal of taking the class and home study program. Your instructor was excellent and brought some very diffucult material down to the simplest of terms with PEIR and other strategeis.

Sean,
It is very refreshing to get as much feedback from ordering online as I have received since I made the order with MikeHolt. I do a lot of ordering online and in most cases there is not a lot of communication from the company that you ordered from. This was not the case with this order. I really appreciate how my order was handled and the communication that came with it.
I will be doing more ordering from you in the future because of this.
Have a great day and thanks,

I passed the Maryland master electrician exam 7/11/08 the first time. You are the best instructor I have ever had. Even though I never met you I feel I know you. My favorite team is James, Dennis, Steve, Merle, John flip a coin Mills and Mike Culbreath the best graphics guy in the world. You guys are the best. I studied motors, ampacity, box fill, welders and voltage drop like crazy not one question about that stuff on the Maryland exam, I was disappointed. But thanks to you and your team I learned that stuff. Thanks,

Hi Sarina,
I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know that my husband Chad Ward who attended the Electrical Class in Orlando earlier this month before the exam and he PASSED his ES Sign Specialty test. We just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
He took a course at another school last year and my husband was so frustrated that they could not teach him how to do the calculation problems and that was the only part of the exam he had issues with. He took their class 3 times in 2007 before each of the Electrical exams and could not pass the test. He took the Mike Holt class ONCE in 2008 and passed.
GREAT JOB!

John is one of the best instructors I have ever encountered and I have been to allot of courses over my 22 years of electrical training. He is wonderfully entertaining as well as extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the course not to mention him and George have a good relationship with each other that only added to the experience. In the category of money well spent John and the course far exceeded my expectations. Thank You for all you have done for me Sarina. You can bet I will use Mike Holt for all my companies future needs in the education department as well as personal.

I have taken the exam 4 times and I feel like this time I did very well compared to previous attempts. I am a specialty contractor and Mike Holt teaches to each contractor as the test is given for that category. JOHN IS AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER! He taught me more in the two hours of calculations than the other school could ever teach me. I took the test 3 times and never was able to figure calculations. Also John taught us how to use the NEC code book (not just how to highlight the book). On the 1 to 10 scale you would rate about a 15. I honestly don't know how you could change your program for the better. I actually feel like I passed this time! and that is the only thing that really matters most. Also your continuing education online is awesome too!

Sarina,
Hope all is well. Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I passed the March 4th exam finally! The seminar was so helpful that without it, one does not stand a chance. of course the student is only as good as the teacher and John Mills is great. I also took his night classes as Miami Springs senior and I must say he grilled me til I got it. If there was ever a problem or question, John knew it or followed it through. he has encouraged me to continue in my studies as I have already set my sights on other licenses.
Anyway, great work you are doing and I will be in touch regarding some products I need.
Sincerely, Armando Alvarez

Good afternoon,
Could you please tell me what John Mills e-mail address is? I just found out that I passed my electrical exam ! This was my 4th time taking it but my first time taking your class. I really wanted to thank him, his teaching style was very easy to take in, I do not think that with out his and your help I would have ever passed this exam.THANK YOU!

've always had good experiences w/ you guys. I first met Mike back in 1977 or 1978, when I took his code class. I was new in the trade, & didn't really know alot about what he was teaching, but over the years as I learned more all those lessons started clicking. Nothing but good things to say about your organization. When I took my masters test here in Montana I used Mike's study materials & passed the first time, which I hear doesn't always happen.
September 18, 2007
After 29 years in the trade, I decided to be an instructor for a local apprenticeship program. Reading the code book was ok, but the books I had ordered through Mike Holt were fantastic - I can't put them down. Looking forward to utilizing the books in teaching

Hello Sarina. If you recall I called you on Friday after the low voltage test to tell you how hard it was. (At least I think it was) I think taking that test had me much more “experienced” for the next one because when I took the business test on Saturday it was pretty easy. I passed that one with no problem.
Pass my thanks on to John for all his help.

Pass along my thanks to Mike, John and George. I just got the results of my Fl Unlimited Contractors Technical test. I got a 91 on the technical and I only know I got a 75 or better on the business portion. I would not have passed either of these tests without using your home study materials and attending your 6 day seminar. John was informative and entertaining and managed to keep our attention focused during the entire 6 days. I will reccommend your curriculum to every one I want as a competitor.
Thanks again to all for all your help.

The fact that you and your organization are instrumental in desemenating this much good information related to the electrical industry will be the reason you can count on my loyalty as a customer, I checked E-bay and could have purchased the Handbook for less but if the few dollars more that I spent at your site helps keep the wealth of information available to all of us, it is a drop in the bucket. Kudos to all of you and keep up the good work.

I am writing this e-mail to thank you for the wonderful job you and your staff do. Thanks to your endless dedication to the electrical field you have inspired many people to continue there education. I am one of those people. I used your course to pass the ICC journey-mans test and once I conquered that test I found myself itching to do more. So I set off to conquer the ICC masters exam. I am not sure if your familiar with the international code council master exam but let me tell you it's hard. However with your videos and study guides I conquered it. At age 25 I am truly blessed with a great career, a supportive wife, and my first child on the way(due in august). I am also blessed to have found you and your website. I will be forever grateful to you and your staff. God bless.

I will be in your class in Virginia (where I live now), in February. I am also going to attend your 4 day seminar in Ft. Lauderdale '07.
I am a 30 year Master Electrician thanks to the jump start I received from your class in 1981.

Mike,
Let me say firstly I passed the unlimited exam first time. I would not been able to do so unless I attended your course last March. I scored 83% and incidentally that was the approximate level I was scoring during the trial exams.
Your course is outstanding. It is one of the best thousand dollars I have ever spent. John Mills did an outstanding and comprehensive job.
Also I have had the good fortune to interact with your organization on several occasions and just today I talked to Sarina Snow who suggested I send you this email. In my humble opinion you have created a world-class, people focused organization of high quality that is very customer centric. I'm sure you're getting the satisfaction of a job well done.
If at any time you need any recommendations I would be more than happy to help.
Again many thanks.

Hi Sarina! I don't know if you would remember speaking to me or not but earlier this year I had ordered the study materials for the EC exam in March for my husband, Dan. You strongly suggested he attend a seminar because the pass rate for self study wasn't as high. I passed that information onto my husband but stubborn as he is, he was bound to try to pass the exam without the seminar. I am proud to say that after many late nights and tired mornings, my husband was successful in passing the EC exam in March. He really found the study materials extremely helpful and keeps them in the office for reference.
Thank you so much for your assistance in obtaining the materials and for your presence @ Mike Holt's office. My father-in-law, Mike, just finished a seminar in Orlando last weekend and they said they met you and how nice you were. Just thought I'd let you know about my husband's success story.
Thanks again,

Sarina:
Just wanted to let you know that John and George, your instructors for HELL week, were fantastic. John made what could have been an excrutiating week bearable and informative and always kept the classes interesting and funny. They are both very knowledgeable and I enjoyed being in their company for the week. I have passed the business portion of the exam and am still awaiting the results from the technical test. Whatever I scored I believe their help was tantamount to being able to take the test with some degree of confidence. Being a licensed electrical contractor in NJ for 20 years, I forgot, how much I forgot in respect to the code and calculations. Whatever the outcome of the technical test I was totally satisfied with the instruction and believe the money was well spent if you are serious about attaining a state license. I will advise you on the outcome of my test on receipt of notification from the state.
Thank you for all your help.

I am writing this letter to say “Thanks”. I have been using your products since 2000, when I purchased your complete library. It is now 2006 and I hold approximately 10 Masters Licenses in NY and the outlying areas, including Connecticut State, and now most likely Florida State Certified Unlimited Electrical. I sat for the exam yesterday after completing your 6-day prep course with John and George. The class and the instructors were great, and even though I don’t officially know if I passed, I think I “KILLED” that exam. I am taking Rockland County (the last county in NY that I don’t have) next Friday and New Jersey in July. Needless to say I have complete confidence for these upcoming exams.
I couldn’t have done it without your help.
Thanks again for everything,

I'm writing to tell you what great products and a great team you have. When I took Florida this month, I felt good when I walked out of the test center, but you are always on pins and needles until you get your results. I just found out today that I passed, thanks to my hard work and your great products and staff.
I took the prep class with John and George and it was a tremendous help. John is without a doubt the most unique and dynamic Code instructor that I have ever had. His delivery and "in your face" attitude was both entertaining and informative and I'm sure that I retained most, if not all, that he said. George's help with the Florida Contractors Manual and his vast experience and knowledge was a great help as well.
Thanks also to Sarina for her help in sending me tapes and books in quick fashion and her references to help me complete the application process.
Lastly, but certainly not least, thanks to you, Mike, for all you do to further education in our trade. God bless you and yours.

Sarina, just wanted to say thanks ( I passed my EF ). I wanted to pass along some information to Mike. The training, regardless of how painful it is, I attended in Kissimmee prior to my test was the best thing I could have done. John M and George really brought a new level of teaching to the game. They keep valuable information coming at you the entire week, but they way it is delivered (teaching methods) really locks it into your memory, which allows you to be able to answer about half of the questions on the test with out having to cruise through 5 different books. I just wanted you guys to know what a good job they did, and that I would recommend your classes to anyone attempting to pass a state exam.
Thanks again

John/George,
This is Amiee from your March 1-6 class...I wanted to let you know that I passed! I got a 99 on the exam ;) The time flew by and I had to guess on about 12 questions but C was the favorite answer! I think if people had more time, then more of them would pass.
I took the Business Exam and passed that as well, I guess I am now certifiable!
Sorry I won't see you in the next class but at least you know I passed!

Hi Sarina - I am just getting home after a very long day, but did not want to go to bed without telling you how much I appreciate all the time you gave me in your office today.
How grateful am I that I stopped by to pick up books rather than have them mailed? Very!!! I felt like I had won the lottery when you began giving me resources and telling me stories. I can not thank you enough for all you did today! Really, I just felt like I was in the office of an "Angel".
George and I will talk again in the morning and then I will contact Marie. I will let you know how it all turns out.
You guys ROCK at Mike Holt!

Sarina,
I would like to thank you for your guidance and valuable information that you have shared with me on passing the Florida EC exam on my first attempt.When I first started this endeavor I thought "how hard could this be" well lets just say I was surprised.Your advise is something that I will always remember,when I called about two months before the exam the first thing you said was o'boy we do not have much time,at that point the panic started.However you took control and laid out a plan that worked.I purchased the in home study guide and videos than went to work just as you said.Also I can not say enough about the seminar, I owe allot to John he kept things going and interesting. His teaching and understanding of what we were going thru is amazing.I have taken several instructional coarse throughout the years but not one did I walk away with as much confidence as I did after that final day with John,so please pass along my gratitude to him.
In closing I truly appreciate all the help and support I have received from all of you. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know.

Received letter today from DPBR passed the July 6 Exam with 82 or as John Mills says a "99". It took me from Nov. to this July to become familiar with all the reference books and how to use them. I know I was unrealistic in believing that the "crash" course would allow me to bypass this requirement. Why? Because at my age 73, but 74 on Oct. 6, 2006 , I don't have a lot of time left to waste studying. Actually, if I can raise some funds I intend to rebuild my Electric Vehicle (now rusted out) and maybe in three years build as many as 200 per year.

SARINA !!!! SHE IS THE BEST. YOU HAVE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.
Dear Mike - I stopped by your office to pick up a Home Study Book Progaram. That was all i wanted ... just pick up my books and leave. I am a busy contractor and don't like to wait around. Freddy insisted I speak with Sarina who had an appointment in her office. So i waited and waited and waited. And boy am i glad that I waited! Sarina took me in her office and started asking me questions about why i was wanted to take the exam and if i had questions or needed help. I was able to tell her i had NO IDEA what i was doing. She answered my questions, helped me and suggested excellent additional resources. I am a woman with management experience, not your typical work in the field and work your way up under "qualified" companies contractor. I needed Divine direction to get my application through and I knew it. I could have cried I was so overwhelmed that this Woman spent time with me, shared her knowledge and gave me such excellent resources. For 2 LONG YEARS I tried to figure out how I would qualify to take the exam and then how i would pass it. Ironically, the morning before meeting Sarina, I prayed. I knew i needed miracles if i was going to meet this challenge. WOW I did not expect them in the form of Freddy and Sarina. Sarina's kindness, knowledge and generousity left me speechless. I love sharing this story of hope and how God shows up in the most unexpected places. He is always there to help us - when we ask of him.
Thank you for being such a great support to our Industry. A very satisfied client!

Hello John,
I wanted to thank you for the energy and attention to detail that you commanded in our unlimited electrical exam preparation last month. When I finished the exam I wasn't sure I had passed, but knew that if I hadn't, that I would after November's class. I'm happy to report that I passed both portions and will submit my certified application soon.
If you remember, I hadn't even purchased the text books until Friday afternoon. Without your plan, I wouldn't have passed either portion. It would be safe to say that I might've gotten a 0% or 15% on the Business and Law as I hadn't seen any of it before our course.
You deserve much credit and I want you to know that I hope Mike takes good care of you. I'm a very satisfied customer and the time and money were the best investments I've made in my company. It was a great week.
I hope to try the G. C. exam that you reccomended soon.
Mike is the guru, and you're a great drill instructor. Don't change a thing!
Thanks sincerely

Sarina:
Thanks again for everything.
It took some time but after speaking to ten different people the state has finally fixed their mistake. My application was approved in June yet some how I was removed from the list. No one in the state seems to understand how it happened. I have my thoughts. Any way, they finally contacted me yesterday and not only mailed the admission slip, they faxed me copy in case anything should go wrong.
Again, thank you so much for your help and supplying me the proper number and person to call to get this issue straightened out. My application to the ADA was also accepted and I am getting 2.5 more hours and a private room to take the test. What a deal. Guess being handicapped has its privileges.
You have been a great help and I thank you again for being more than just a business. You definitely have proved that your companies objective is to fully assist the applicants and not just fill a class.

Sarina,
I received the Grounding & Bonding training material and I can't thank you enough. Its fabulous. I'll pass on the word about Mike Holt Enterprises every chance I get!
Have a great day,
Cline
Our city building department hosts seminars every year and the seminar on Nov. 1st went very well. Everyone was impressed with Mike's book
(Understanding the NEC, Vol. 1). The book is loaded with good information and he uses great illustrations. Mike Holt was one of our seminar speakers
about three years ago and (in my opinion) was the best speaker we've ever had. That's saying a lot actually because we've had some pretty top-notch
speakers at our seminars, but Mike is definitely at the top of the heap. His knowledge, charisma, and willingness to tackle controversial subjects makes
him a provocative and dynamic speaker.
Mike makes learning the Electrical Code (a normally boring and dry subject), an absolute pleasure. His books contain fantastic illustrations, which are a tremendous aid in helping to decipher what the Code is actually saying. Mike Holt has done as much for promoting electrical knowledge in the 21st century as Benjamin Franklin has done in introducing us to electricity a few centuries ago. I hate that this sounds so much like a commercial endorsement, but I mean every word. I don't know Mike personally and I don't make a penny for plugging him or his products, but he's worth every positive endorsement I can give.
Thank you, and much continued success to all of you,
Ken Thurman

I don't know if you remember me but I spoke with you several times about the Exam Preparation book, which I ended up using for an advanced NEC class. You were extremely helpful to me and the book worked out even better than I hoped. Two of my students were successful in passing the Ohio Contractors License Exam on their first attempt and all eight (I think) of them were very pleased with the class. I know Mike's book played a large role in that success.
Many thanks to you both.
I am in the process of starting a continuing education training company and plan to use your materials.
Again, many thanks.
Just to let you know that I attended a Low Voltage review class and brought along my Low Voltage book I purchased from Mike Holt. The instructor and students all reviewed the book and decided this material would be worth having. I later found out that three of the five students and the instructor all ordered the book. The explanations and illustrations make understanding the NEC much clearer. Do not change the way the products are developed. They are great.
Thanks,

Mike,
I read this article and just had to drop a note. If you think the books are great, try the exam prep course with John as well. I took the course last fall after a few months of basic study and felt well prepared for the exam. When I actually took the test, I was amazed. It was almost like John had read the test and prepared the class just for that test. I completed both sections of the State EC long before the required time limit
and had plenty of time to proof my answers prior to submitting my sheets. When the results came in a 91% was my reward. I can't says thanks enough for all of the hard, professional work that goes into your material. Tell John thanks and feel free to use this letter how you like.
Thanks a Million,
Daniel B House
Hi Sarina,
The state's website says I passed the exam for Alarm One at the 08 July '03 sitting, an event that took place with powerful help from you, all of your coworkers and Mike and also a half-dozen people in Tallahassee. The DBPR applications process went bad, real bad and I engaged 2 of 3 branches of government and was considering the possibility of the 3rd, my phone/Email list suddenly became most,uh, efficient.
My test bore almost no resemblance to the highlighting and practice exams, but the course, your help, encouragement and confidence, my instructors and Mike, as individuals exceeded the sum of the the parts. The exam was "like three rounds with a middleweight". It appears coaching played the major part of things and the first Email among a dozen is to you.
Thanks for all your help. Please send John's Email address so I can write him about a watch.
4 feet off the floor, Jim Robinson
Sarina,
I would like to let you know that the two instructors, John and George were more than teachers they were perfect banks of knowledge. They were two of the best professors I’ve had in all the years of schooling I’ve had, which I’ve had plenty. Thank you for having them on your team, I will recommend your course with them to all I meet that are in need.
Sincerely,

Gentlemen,
Could not be happier to tell you that I passed the Test as well as my other two friends from Hypower. Again, thank you for that week in “hell”. It paid off.
Once again, thank you for your time and for teaching and training us during the last week. If you ask me, I think your “boot camp” paid off. I have a good feeling that I passed because I was able to find most answers. I am hoping I bubble them right. We had a little bit of everything. There were three problems about relays, no load calc, no range and two questions from the Contractor’s Manual in the morning. The afternoon part was pretty much straight forward.
On another note, guess what? The guy sitting next to me had one book: the NEC. At least he knew who Mike Holt was because he had Mike Holt’s Exam Prep Book and the NEC Changes but he was told to put them away. You will probably see him in July.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely,

Hey John, remember me, Emmett Jarvis, the guy in the middle of class that never spoke, really didn't have many questions. Thanks for the great review of material, I scored a 91% on the State Exam. Now comes the next million page application. Just thought a 91% would give you some class fodder.
Thanks again,
Emmett Jarvis
I just wanted to thank you for the Illustrated Changes to the NEC. The layout of the book is excellent. The graphics make it very easy to explain a given situation. It seems students understand a lot better when they can see the picture.
Thank You for sending the Four color 2002 Code Change book it looks great. The graphics are terrific. I see you have your Exam Prep book out also, could I get a copy of that one also. I teach State mandated electrical continuing education classes for Lake Area Technical School out of Watertown SD and Western Dakota Technical School out of Rapid City SD.
Also I very much enjoy Mike's newsletters he sends out.
Thank You
Just a quick note to say that you and Mike are constantly outdoing yourself. The new 2002 books are out of this world. The new style of printing paper, the layout and especially the brillant colors really does the trick. I have always thought that your books were a lot more professional that others because of the contents and the book itself. But now you have really surpassed everyone else.
Keep up the good work and don't go back to the old layout.
Thanks,

Sarena-- the Electrician's exam preparation book you recently sent to me is wonderful. It is very appropriate for apprenticeship programs and industrial training that I do. why don't you folks add a chapter on mesh and nodal analysis and a chapter on some of the classical electrical theorems ( Thevenin's , Norton, superposition ect) the book would be appropriate for two-year electrical technology programs in a 2-year college?
Mike,
Wanted to let you know that we've been using the grounding video for our latest round of in house training sessions for our electricians, apprentices and foreman. We do it in several small groups (9-12 people). Day 1 a group watches four hours of the video followed by a few hours of hands on experiments Dave & I came up with. Then on Day 2 they watch part two of the video followed by more hands on.
I wanted to let you know that many of our guys said it was the best in house training session we've ever had and one of our foreman who has been here 40 years told me that (after watching the video) for the first time ever everything finally tied in and came together for him on the subject (he was fairly knowledgeable on grounding prior to the session but this video truly closed all the loops for him). I wish I could forward you all of the compliments on your work as it has turned into an exceptional session.
We're getting ready to place an order for the books but I have held up waiting for the new book to come out. Do you have any idea when that will be? Please let me know as we'd like to order around 40-50 copies.
Best wishes and God Bless!

First off I would like to thank you for offering the free electricians exam textbook. Secondly I would like to thank Mike and all his associates who make his web page possible, I have used the information from his site on numerous occasions to aid in instructing my students. My hats off to you people for an excellent job. Thank You.
I just received in the mail the book on exam preparation. Thank you so much and yes I am very pleased with the color. I have the NEC handbook and have enjoyed the color in it this year. I use your book to help not only me but the students in my class. We use the IEC curriculum in the state of Idaho but I have used a lot of your books over the years I have been teaching for reference and this year have been marking my code book like Mike Holt recommends and have found it to be a great help in finding things I want in a hurry especially since the renumbering of a lot of the sections in the 2002 NEC. Anyway thank you for sending the book to me to review and I will look forward to getting into its pages in the near future.
Thanks Micheal
The book sounds great, this is not a surptise. All of MIke's work is excellent, and on point with what is needed for success for our students.

I am so impressed with the copies of the "Illustrated Changes to the NEC" and "Electrical Exam Preparation" that you sent me I want you to know I am taking these copies, for others to see, to an Instructor's meeting tonight for our orientation to the soon to start 2002/2003 year. I am also printing out the application below so other Instructor's will be aware of your products. I also plan to use these documents as a resource in the Fifth year class I will be teaching this year.
Thanks so much for the gift of these outstanding documents. I've been in this business as an Instructor, Contractor, Engineer, Electrician and Foreman for more than 42 years and these are the best instructional and resource documents I've seen yet. Keep up the good work. I hope I can direct more orders your way.

I loved your daily, please bring it back. Your cartoon characters are great especially the dog...nice touch. I am a teacher for electrical apprentices and this book will come in handy
thank you

You may recall recent communications with me requesting a desk copy of Mike's "Understanding the NEC" and the accompany
workbook. I have received these and reviewed them. They are excellent, and will fulfill my instructing needs wonderfully.
At the time of my request for these books I had expected to teach "Code 1" in the Spring semester at a local college. Since I am a junior member of the adjunct facility at this college, I don't always get to teach the courses I prefer. That is the case this time.
I have been asked to teach "Code 3". Code 1 dovetails nicely with the textbook mentioned above, but is not appropriate for Code 3.
Code 3 is designed to provide a review for students that have completed previous Code classes and are contemplating sitting for their Journeyman' Exam. Here in Virginia, for at least the next year, this exam will be based on the 99 NEC. What I am requesting from you is information on textbooks and training aids based on the 99 NEC that would be appropriate for this course.
For your information, I will be teaching Code 1 starting in the fall semester of 2003, followed by Code 2 & Code 3. At that time I will be using your products mentioned above that are based on the 2002 Code.
As a follow up on a previous e-mail I sent to you, I had requested your directions as to what I should do with the desk copy of the materials I received. Are they considered complimentary, should I return them to you, or would you like to bill me? I just don't want to take advantage of your generosity.
Also, I would like to share something with you. As my instructing career begins to grow, I've noticed that I often mimic Mike's style and techniques. This is meant as a compliment. Mike, through his various videos and textbooks, is the only real instructor I ever utilized. I try to motivate and inspire my students, the same way he did me. I try to convey my interest and concern for the "whole student" and for our chosen profession. Even though I've only had about a minute to personally speak to Mike, I would have to consider him my mentor. If I am able to have the positive impact on my students to the degree that Mike has had on me, then I will consider my efforts a success.
With best regards,
Wayne Cook
Hi Sarina,
Just a note in response to the e-mail you sent. I’m getting ready to teach a grounding and bonding class using Mike’s 2002 edition. I thought this was one of the best references I’ve seen because it clarified things in terms that electrician’s are familiar with and the information was very practical for what we do. Early in the spring I plan on doing a class on motors and over current/over load protection using Mike’s books. I’ve already purchased Vol 1 of understanding the 2002 NEC and am using info from it, especially the test questions to teach my crew. I would like a set of those code tabs if they are still available.
Thanks.

Thank you
Serena The class in National Electrical Code Fundamentals at a local industrial site is going very well. I was originally hired to teach this class to 10 individuals - 6 apprentices and 4 journeymen. The training director was reluctant to admit any more to the class because the training budget is tight and he did not want to spend money of books and resources. After the class started , the word quickly got out that the class was a excellent class and several more workers requested to be admitted. Four additional students were allowed to attend and as you know I ordered 4 more books. The third session was held this last Monday and I was asked if I could take two more. Hence the order for two more books. The class is a lot of fun because in using the power point illustrations , persons don't have to keep their nose in the book and I can maintain good eye contact and see if persons are mastering the material. The power point also really enhances the book material because the illustrations are "real world" , something the students have typically seen before, and can easily relate to the workplace. The power point also makes it easy for the instructor to prepare for class--I typically spent about 45 minutes preparing a lesson plan and getting ready for the class. I have taught several courses in Programmable Logic Controllers at this facility and this is the first time in my experience that students are reluctant to leave the class after 3 hours. I might add the men are taking this class on their own time which says that they are enjoying the class and are learning the material.
The training is going very well. I have 9 electricians that I am currently training.The information we received has been very useful. I would recommend this course in the future.
Hi !
Just a thank-you note. I got the code update books and other stuff OK. Thank you very much for your help! This will be a great class and I know everybody attending will go home full. That was really nice of you to replace my stolen videos & stuff. I have always sent people to you but I am sure you will be getting lots more because of things like that. Most companies just look at bottom line and would never even consider something for free or discounted below cost. I won't send them just for free stuff but the idea that if something bad does happen you & mike are real people! I also make sure my boss is aware of things like this.
In my non profit school it is hard to get needed or wanted items without "justification !" It's hard to expand "out-of-the-box" with programs when you have to show numbers for something that has never been done.Even then the first class may be small or maybe huge and the second class bombs. To increase my knowledge I usually buy the books out of my own pocket and write it off at year end taxes. Some of the publishers are good about "desk copies" but not always and sometimes they will let you preview for only for
a week or so and if it doesn't come right back you get billed! Not to count the cost of shipping it back.
Thanks again,
ps:
I sent a contractor (Curt Hill from Rogers Electric & Plumbing) your way for
information on bidding and managing projects. Hope you can help him.
Dear Ms. Snow
The copy of the NEC Code that I received, " Understanding the National Electrical Code, Volume 1 is excellent. I would like to receive a desktop copy of the "Electrician's Exam Preparation book also. My students take a 1 credit course on how to basically read the NEC code book would like to know how much it cost for Volume 1 and 2? I presently have 45 students, they have seen the copy of volume 1 that you sent me and really like it. It makes understanding the NEC so much easier. Some students learn by visual, hands on and hearing, this makes it easier for them.
Thank you,

The Understanding The National Electrical Code and Workbook are the best things to come along in a long time. The Workbook directs your logic in a way not possible with another study method. The work on the illustrations alone is mind boggling. The book can be studied from any level, as an introduction to the NEC or as an in depth analyses with personal insights and notes written by Mike himself. If anyone needs to learn the NEC quickly, your books fill the bill ! - Crail Floyd -
I just wanted to say thanks for the top notch service provided by Mike Holt Enterprises, especially from Sarina Snow. Sarina breaks her back to make sure that the Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College has all the textbooks and support materials that we need before each class begins. She is a pleasure to work with.
Your company's texts and support materials are top-notch. I appreciate all of the free instructor guides, desk copies of textbooks, and support material that you provide. Keep up the good work. I look forward to
working with your company and especially Sarina in the future.

Hi Sarina. I received on Tuesday the first package you had sent. I reviewed the "Electrical Exam Preparation" text. Currently it is in the hands of several of our fifth-year apprentices. They took the exam last spring using the _____ product. So I felt they could give me a good comparison. After they give me feedback, I'll pass it on to the other instructors. I can tell you at this point that I will recommend to our Director that we drop _____'s product and go to Mike's. The first thing that impressed me about the text was was to whom Mike dedicated the book. Myself being a Christian, I was impressed with Mike's courage to step-out and place that dedication in the book.
Regarding content, I feel the graphics and color are superior to what we are currently using. I also liked the format of each chapter and the fact that rather than purchase two or three _____ texts, this one text seems to accomplish what is covered by three separate _____ texts.
The only negative issue that I personally feel about the text, is that there at times seems to be too much information jammed together on one page. I realize that there is a bunch of material to cover and if you increased font size or spread things out, the book will become thicker, but looking from a student's perspective, some of those busy pages can be overwhelming. Our students get step-by-step lectures each week while they are in the classroom and we typically use the text as a reference to enhance their own study time in between school weeks. Because of this, I don't see our students being bothered by this concern however, I was thinking of an individual out there who doesn't have the benefit of classroom instruction and may be studying on his/her own. Again, its just my own personal observation.
I should have a definitive decision on whether to switch texts within the next week. At that time, if we decide on Mike's text we'll probably place an order to stock our retail library. Again if we go to your text, since we instruct exam preparation classes throughout the state, we'll then begin using and endorsing this text in all our classes. We will also look at including this text in our fourth-year text book order that is placed during the summer break. We add this type of text in the fourth year due to much of the year being devoted to preparing for the Experior exam that is given here at our state training center.
The only question I currently have is what is the price of the Exam Preparation text and are there price breaks for quantity?
One other thing, after we receive the grounding package, I'll let you know what the opinion is on it also. We currently use the _____'s grounding text in our curriculum.
Thanks for reading this long email. Take care.

Mike, I just wanted to write to you regarding the materials that we received from you, for the Journeyman Electrician Training.
We are a small company in California and there has been recent legislation which is going to require all Electricians to be certified in our area. Because of this, there is a scramble to prepare for the upcoming testing for this certification.
We decided to go with your materials because we knew that you have dedicated his life to teaching the codes and theory behind every successful electrician. It was a hard decision as there was considerable pressure to go with the local group and take the course they were offering. We opted to go with Mike Holt Enterprises, Inc. for the following reasons:
1. We wanted to do an in-house program
2. We wanted an instructor that had a proven track record.
3. We wanted an organized and structured approach that has been successful in the past.
4. We wanted to be able to control the process, pausing and reviewing when necessary, to insure that everyone involved would be able to keep up and understand the materials.
We have been meeting for several weeks now, every Tuesday evening for a three hour class, and are extremely pleased with your materials. Your style of presentation, positive outlook, good humor and realistic approach has been excellent. You can really tell you have been through this material many times and you know it very well. We have found the content to be just right.
The materials presented are the important things without a lot of unnecessary stuff to sift through. From the layout of the text to the progression of information covered it has all been expertly presented and easy to absorb. Our communications with your office and your willingness to assist us has been top notch. Keep up the good work.
Oh, by the way, the other group is also using your Exam Preparation text book. That pretty much says it all doesn't it??
Our regards to you and the staff,

Dear Mike:
Thank you for great teaching materials. I use your DVD, textbooks, and PowerPoint presentations in my classes and the students and administrators are astounded!
I configured a PC to run your DVD presentation with enough computer-power to simultaneously run a half dozen PowerPoint presentations and the 2002 Handbook.
We are able to seamlessly multitask among all this information in order to demonstrate the NEC to the students in living color, animation, sound, and print. If a question arises during the DVD, we switch to the written code for the exact language, and then to PowerPoint for a graphic illustration or two, together with a few of my added written fly-ins, and then switch back to your DVD to continue the show. We are now able to breath life and excitement into the code and have some fun learning it. I understand that people learn better while listening to Baroque music in the background and will be trying to overlay background sound effects in the future.
I feel like a movie producer, rather than an electrical instructor! This grand production makes the two-hour class session seem like 30 minutes and EVERYONE in the classroom is learning the NEC like never before!

Mr. M. Holt;
The Maintenance Managers of the United State Postal Services At New Jersey International Bulk Mail Center would like to express our appreciation and thank you for clarifying several Grounding& Bonding myths. Your videos are great. Our electricians watched the videos and had positive comments, specifically, clarifying some misconceptions they had for sometime. We learned a lot, and now, we need to digest and reinforce some of the safety issues that you repeatedly emphasized during the seminar.
Specifically, we liked the end of the videos, where you conducted actual experiments, and proved / disapproved some of the myths. Excellent presentations and demonstrations of, "touch potential, open neutral, measuring ground and ground rods resistance, etc."
Thanks for your continued and effective efforts in reemphasizing the safety issues, and providing clear understandings / interpretations of NEC codes and other electrical items.
I bought a copy of your book "Electrical Exam Preparation" awhile back. After working through the book for two months I took the state of West Virginia Journeyman's Exam. I just got the results, I scored 90% on the exam. Just wanted to say thank you. I felt I was well prepared for the exam thanks to your book. I will recommend it to all my electrical friends.
Thanks again,
Oscar Hawkins
I have some of your products from my days as a trainer and safety supervisor, and found them to be quite good. I thought it was about time that I ordered some more. As you can imagine, we have some interesting issues regarding grounding and bonding, and I found your website information over the years to be excellent.
I'm also looking forward to your ideas on estimating, although it is a slightly different game when it is for internal use in a government owned utility!
Found your books very easy to understand and a great help in understanding the often hard to understand NEC. The pictures/drawings are the best, even
easier than the handbook.Please let me know when volume 2 is available, so I can order it also. I look foreward to dealing more with you in the future.

Mike, I thank you for your the everyday language you use in your book and training packages on the NEC. It really makes life easier for a trainer and worker in the electrical field. Your instruction is like reading The Everyday Bible compared to The Kings James version.
Ms. Sarina has assisted me for some years, helping me get the correct books and training packages. She just sent me the Grounding and Bonding package. This package is great! I am glad to know the grounding and bonding code in the right way. She sure knows your books and packages and always get me the right one.
Mike thank you so very much for your help in forming ANECI. The web page looks great and will a big help to all of us.
Your DVDs of Grounding and Bonding is being a big help to me and is VERY PROFESSIONAL done, so is NEC Practice Questions, which I use in my class.
Keep up the good work and may God bless you.

Dear Mike, I just wanted to write you to tell you how very thankful I am to you for the 99 masters prep book you wrote. It was very easy to use and very helpful. I live in Baltimore and work for the utility here as an electrician. Unlike most of my coworkers I never attended a formal apprenticeship program. Just a vocational school when in high school, where I took the electrical program. The book was so understandableand the calculations so easy to learn.
I studied your book for 8 months after I took a calculations refresher. On 1- 28-03 I took the Marylandstatewide masters exam and passed on the first try, in fact I was so prepared I finished the test in 2 hours. I didn't even realize I was done until I hit a key that said end, and it started grading the test and about 3 seconds later it said congratulations you passed. With all of the downsizing utilities are doing lately I thought I better prepare myself. Last year my work group went from 20 to 10 people, and @35 I thought I better have a backup plan. All the time I was studying I hoped and prayed I would someday be writing you this letter.
Again many thanks, GOD Bless you ,
Hi Sarina,
I apologize for not sending you and Mike a thank you sooner. I must say that you and Mike have been a tremendous source of help in my endeavor to provide meaningful training to our master and journeyman electricians. Your recent contribution to us of Mike's training program on Grounding is but one of several examples. I'd like you to know that this course offering is targeted for our laid-off and short-week employed electricians (which will run Tuesdays in the AM). Further, tuition and course material totally free, thanks to you and Mike. I felt this would give opportunity not only to expand their knowledge but something to look forward to. I plan on this course running this summer as well! Sarina, I would love to have a digital camera for all the reasons we had discussed, unfortunately I haven't the resources as yet. I sincerely extend 2 thank you's: To you Sarina, for your kindness and prompt responses and to you Mike, for your technical expertise(s) and contribution(s) to this industry of ours.
God Bless to you both, be safe.

Hello Sarina,
Thank you for your kindness and warmth as we visited you Monday. The books, cd's, dvd's, and video's are great!!!; just what I have been looking
for. The apprenticeship course we have been wanting to use Mike's training materials along with is produced by The National Center For Construction Education And Research. (NCCER) On page 4-20 there is a profile of Mike's successes in the electrical industry.
Thanks again, and you will be hearing from us with more orders soon.

I hold classes to teach employees and others interested about the NEC. It is a requirement for employees to be able to understand and use the NEC. I purchased your class training material last year and it really helps employees to understand the code. You would be surprised to know what they do not teach in schools around here. ...
Thank you, Larry Brasier
Mike's material just gets better and better!Today I received the power point to accompany the exam prep book and I am so excited to teach using this material. I am including your exam prep book in with next years 5th year students.
I started using your material back in 1995 and have benefited greatly by using it. I scored a 94% on my journeyman test and a 96% on my Masters test a few years later.
I left the gold mine last September and since have been teaching apprentices in Montana as well as teaching around the USA for a national training company. I will pass along my recommendation to them as well.
Thanks to you all and to you Mike for all of the hard work and the time you have put into the industry.
Especially for making this material available to us instructors and keeping it affordable.
Thanks again Mike and Sarina for your help on my career!

Sarina;
My name is Jesus Vargas, I am Electrical Engineer from Mexico, and I have lived in Elgin IL for 2 years, I came here to study English and I found that I can get my license as an electrician here, I have been studying to get my license with the book "Electrician's Exam Preparation based in the NEC 1999" and let me tell you, this is a great book!. In Mexico I am electrical instructor in a public technical school, now I have to go back to Mexico and start teaching again, I would like to know if I can get the free material you offer to instructors because I know for sure that it will be great material to use with my class, if yes, I am interested in the Electrical Calculations package or Electrical Theory package.
I will always be grateful if you could give me the opportunity to have your material.
thank you for your time.
Jesus Vargas
Thanks for all the great educational material you folks are producing, Am using your books in the field to explain code rules to contractors that I inspect and in the clasroom with the apprentices to illustrate what the Code language translates to in their everyday work.
Thanks again and a big hello to Mike.

Sarina,
I want to let Mike know that the Power Point CDs you sent for UNEC 1&2 are great! I use them in my Electrical Technology classes frequently. Thank you all for your work in providing useful materials for my program.

Thanks for sending me a copy of volume one and two of Understanding The National Electrical Code.
I truly do like it. I think that you have the best book on the market to learn-teach the NE code by. I agree with the decision to print the document in two volumes. No doubt sales of volume two will be less, but it will aid in making volume one more price competitive and fit a first semester course better. I fail to understand see why any one would want to produce a book today using only two colors, heck even newspapers are in color. Extensive use (and available to the instructor) of graphics helps to obtain and maintain class participation. The various test also help the student and the instructor in confirming and documenting that learning has occurred.
I could go on and on listing the good things I like about your book, but you would only get bored, so as I said “I like it”
May God continue to bless and keep you and yours safe!

Subject: Article 250 - General Requirements for Grounding and Bonding I
While I was watching the media you’ve provided on Grounding and Bonding, my wife asked me: “Cool, what is that?” I said “That’s Mike Holt. I’ve received his newsletter for over a year, and for that amount of time he has given me free of charge more information than any brother electrician I have known in my whole 14-year career. He is a blessing and an inspiration in that although he teaches and writes instructional material for a living, it seems that his mission is to help people, not make money like we all seem to be doing.”
I thought making a living was something I had to do when I wasn’t busy helping people. With Mike, it’s the other way around. I’m very impressed with the lengths you go to Mike to spread knowledge of the Code, and your actions are a testimony to your real motives - helping others! I’ve said to my kids “helping people is the reason we are here,” but Mike lives it! Thanks.

Thank you so much for the Christmas gift. You guys have always been a class act in our industry. I cannot tell you how many people here in Alaska have benefited from your hard work and dedication to our electrical industry. Take care and God bless all of you.
A prayer for you and Mike Holt…
Heavenly Father, I thank you for your awesome grace and pure love you pour out on us. I would like to ask that you keep Sarina and her family safe this holiday season and in your care. Much like everything Joseph touched, you blessed, and I pray that you would send the same blessings for Sarina and Mike Holt in this coming year. Keep them in your care and fill them with your awesome fruits. All this I pray in your son’s precious name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

I would like to thank you very much for your cooperation and generosity concerning the NEC materials you have provided me with. I am a 15-year member of the IBEW who went through my complete apprenticeship through the NJATC. My classification is inside wireman and most of my journeyman experience is in industrial work. Last September, I was running a job to wire an addition to the local area community college when I inquired about a job opening for a trainer/instructor for the electrical maintenance department. Having passed the Experior exam prior to that with the help of the NJATC and our own study group, I was hired within 24 hours to instruct NEC courses, among other related subjects.
Having never heard of Mike Holt or any of his material prior to this time, I was lucky to find that the college had used this material before and just purchased a complete set of videos and manuals. My first training assignment was to evaluate a group of maintenance personnel and prepare them for the journeyman exam. Upon evaluation, I decided these persons needed to start with the basics and work their way up from there. My supervisor gave me an electrical theory text the size of Webster's Dictionary to use, and my first thought was this was way too in-depth for the outcome I was trying to reach. So, I started going through our Holt set and found the Electrical Theory manual and gave it a quick read. My first impression was that this book is perfect, direct and to the point material, excellent graphics and informative videos. So, at this point, I decided to split my class into three parts: Electrical Theory, Understanding the NEC, and Exam Prep, with all areas using Mike Holt text. Upon ordering these books, and through the goodness of your heart, you informed me that you would also send me PowerPoints to use with these. Being new at all this, I really didn't know how helpful these would be until I brought them up on my computer and saw all those great graphics and notes in color on my screen.
So, I started using all these materials as instructional aids and for furthering my own knowledge, and have found them to be very helpful in getting my points across, lessening class time pondering on a subject, and aiding the students in learning by not confusing them.
This semester I am instructing a NEC class with 40+ students for one hour, twice a week, which doesn't leave a lot of time for discussion. So I am very appreciative of all your cooperation and your excellent products. Again, thank you very much, and if I can ever be of help please let me know. I'll be more than willing to give any input I can to help you out.

Mike and Sarina. Great job on the grounding and bonding series. I couldn't believe how in depth it is, yet clear for all to be able to understand. I watched it for the first time, and the next week started to watch it again.I have since finished it and started on it for the third time. Every time I see things in it I have been wondering about for years and I usually say, "Why didn't anyone explain it like that before?"
Great job! Keep up the good work.

Mike,
Thanks for producing power point slides for instructors to accompany your books. I have previously used your slides from "Understanding the NEC", " Grounding and Bonding" and the "Electrician Exam Prep". They are all great and make it so much easier to put together a high quality presentation that is easy for the student to follow since the slides come from the text as well as having clear NEC code references. The graphics that Mike Culbreath has put together for the power point and for the texts are so distinctive and explanatory that it really makes learning easier and more fun for our students. Most of us really need that extra graphic to put the code into a real world perspective, so we can "picture" the installation.
The most awesome application that I have made of your power point is still the Code Changes slides with the video clip inserts. I took the short video clips from your class on the code changes and inserted them into the power point at the appropriate places. This really helps to add another level of interactivity to the presentation and keeps the student interested and attuned to the topic under discussion.
Thanks again for the great products that you are producing to help us be the best possible instructors. What you are doing makes a difference by improving our classes and in turn improves the level of understanding of those working in the electrical trade.
God bless,
