Online Tradesman code update courses
These courses are designed to give you an overview of the code changes for the respective trade. Virginia is currently on the 2008 electrical code update as of July 1st 2011 but you may take the 2011 electrical code update course and it will count for your license renewal CEU's. For Other trades such as HVAC, Plumbing and Fuel/Gas Virginia is under the 2012 IC. For the online courses Virginia does requires that you take a test at the end. For this reason there are very simple review questions to complete. You must pass, yet you may take as many times as needed. If you have any problems I am here to help. Just give me a call or send an email and I will set up a time to give you a one on one, to keep you surging forward. That is my commitment to build a place were Tradesmen and women can grow in their careers without fear. Let me know how I can help you stay positive in a negative world.

Personal coaching
I offer personal coaching to those that what to measure progress and track goals over time. Personal coaching allows you to grow into a career position step by step. Many people set goals that are way to high and start skipping steps, than do not understand why they fall and/or quit altogether. Walking the steps is the same as actual steps you can only skip so many times until you fall. Personal coaching cannot provide you with all the answers to life, but it will provide a path for you to walk on step at a time. What are you short term dreams? What are your long term dreams? How will you get there. No one hops in a car and drives to a desination with no GPS, road map or any idea how to get there. We all need some type of direction. Yes even in life. Do you know where you are going? Contact us for more info. As always if you are not Surging Forward you are falling backwards. methodology

about
My name is David Ballentine. My background is in the Electrical Field and since working with all types of people and different companies I have learned that many people in today's world have lost their dreams or have given up on their short or even long term goals. Despite all the issues out in the world today, high unemployment, overseas conflicts, personal tragedies, loss of business, economic uncertainty, and many other issues to long to list, there is still hope and there is still a way to overcome. That is what this site can help you achieve.
