  3. Recent Accolade From an un-named source after they were informed that they had passed the ERCOT Nodal 101: The Basics test after attending the course in Garland 10/18. WOW ...I had no idea I did that good.  Gotta give ya'll credit because that was a good test that wasn't intuitive.  A lot of tests at the end of training classes are 'lay- ups' and even though it was open book, I liked that it was challenging enough to make you think and covered a broad array of the material. Great class also, I learned a lot about the nodal (market) for an overview and now (I) am going to need to dig deeper into the details. Have a good day and thanks for bringing that class up to the Dallas area.  That made it convenient for us and should help ensure the market is prepared for the Nodal switch.
