Listen as Paul Abernathy explains the Fast Trax "SYSTEM" to folks on Facebook who seems to want to spread lies and misleading information. Fact is, we have always openly stated the Fast Trax System is based on the partnership with Cengage and the use of Charles Millers Illustrated Guide to the NEC. We take the BASE NEC information and built an Exam Prep Course out of it with suplimental education via live wednesday night sessions and with the ability to have access to our CEO Paul Abernathy when needed to explain the NEC in a way folks can understand it.The "SYSTEM" is built around course material no differently than you would in a vocational school where you pay thousands of dollars to attend and use course material written by folks but taught by an educator. The key to learning is the EDUCATOR and how approachable they are. We took a publication and without re-inventing the wheel turn it into an exam prep program that explains disection and how to use NEC references to move in and out of the NEC to gain a better knowledge of the NEC. We have NEVER claimed the course base material was ours in in fact it is evident EVERYTIME you log into the system that it is based on the core material from Charles Millers Illustrated Guide to the NEC. What we do is break it down and suppliment it with our interpretations and commentary both via live zoom meetings and in videos and other avenues.We are ALL taking the information out of the NEC, we are all essentially copying the content from the NEC and then conveying it in ways students will understand. The reason our Fast Trax Program is so success is because it is a PROGRAM with many facets of support all rolled into the material. In other words we dont abandon you along your NEC learning journey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.
