DBET - Updates         (   Daryl Burkholder  Electrical Training  Updates )

 

In 1978  I began an apprenticeship with the Westvaco Corporation located in Covington, Va.  After completion in 1982, I worked as a journeyman industrial electrician until mid 1989 in which time I left to run my newly created electrical contracting company Burkholder Electric.  To this day, I still operate Burkholder Electric which primarily handles service calls within a 20 miles radius of my home near Covington.

 

In 1989 I begin conducting evening  House Wiring Classes at the Jackson River Technical Center.    We soon added a National Electrical Code Review course followed by related electrical courses for HVAC  &  Electrical apprentices.   I taught there until the mid 1990's

 

In 1998, I began holding National Electrical Code classes at the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College just outside Clifton Forge, Va. Other related courses would soon include Industrial Electrical Controls and Blue Print Reading.  I am currently employed there as an adjunct .

 

My classes are conducted in a low stress, seminar / lecture type format.  The course is presented in a four color power point presentation in conjunction with a document camera  to project the code text and illustrated color graphics to a viewing screen. This creates an unobstructive, easy on the eyes viewing experience. Throughout the class period, questions are encouraged and welcomed.

 

I look forward to hearing from all interested Tradesmen !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what I really look like 99% of the time.  Dickies work pants and sweat shirt.  I am thankful the floor is not shown in the pic.
