What You Will Experience

I successfully passed my ME exam! I appreciate you being so helpful in providing further material for me to succeed.

Dane, Denver, CO

Ryan's class is informative and fun in the same breath...he makes learning whatever easy and effortless, he has a passion for the code and has the knowledge to back it up. I appreciate the classes that they provide.

Anthony, Brighton, CO

Ryan made taking these 24 hours of classes a breeze. His grasp of the code is top tier and being able to discuss it in a classroom with fellow Electricians was great. Our company has used several different teaching platforms for our crew, and Ryan's is by far the best. We will continue to send all of our apprentices through his programs as well as Ryan's CEU courses. Thanks Ryan, keep up the great work!

Alan, Fort Collins, CO

Ryan Mercer's classes are great! He actually makes it interesting to learn. I've never done well with class room settings, they are usually boring and I can't keep my eyes open.

Doug, Grand Junction, CO

Ryan teaches the code, and at the same time he lets his students ask questions. We get involved with what he is teaching. We don't just sit there for 8 hours listening to him read the code book. Great job Ryan!

Doug S., Master Electrician

Ryan is an excellent instructor! He helps everyone fully understand the material clearly I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to further their education.

Jake S. Collbran, CO

The way that Ryan Mercer teaches the class is phenomenal. He puts things in terms where you can understand and actually make sense of articles that are in the code. I highly recommend anybody to join Ryan's classes.
