Well I don't fit cleanly into any of the categories. I do consulting work, mainly on the quality and content of electrical safety programs, re-writing existing ones or creating new ones where they don't exist (I have a CESCP Cert, Master Electrician License, ICC Commercial Inspector license, OSHA Trainer Cert., LEED AP, and JW Cert in Calif. and 46 years in the trade) I teach a lot of 70E classes and do coordination studies and Arc Flash studies part time for an engineer that specializes in system protection.
I took my original class learning how to do an arc flash study from Jim in 2011.
