The NASCLA Accredited Trade Examination for Electrical Contractors is a standardized examination developed for Electrical Contractors, Master Electricians, and Unlimited Electricians. Participating licensing agencies may accept a passing NASCLA examination result in place of a separate jurisdiction-specific electrical trade examination.
Passing the NASCLA examination does not create a national electrical contractor license. Candidates must still apply to the licensing agency in each jurisdiction where they intend to work and satisfy that agency’s application, experience, financial, insurance, business-law, and approval requirements.
The electrical examination may cover general electrical knowledge, electrical theory, National Electrical Code requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, wiring methods, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, transformers, equipment, calculations, electrical safety, construction safety, energy standards, project management, and contractor business practices.
The 2023 National Electrical Code is a central technical reference for the examination. Candidates should become familiar with its chapters, articles, definitions, tables, exceptions, conductor requirements, wiring methods, equipment provisions, grounding and bonding rules, and calculation procedures.
The OSHA construction and general industry references support preparation involving electrical hazards, personal protective equipment, temporary power, fall protection, ladders, tools, machinery, material handling, workplace conditions, and employer safety responsibilities.
NFPA 70E supports preparation for workplace electrical safety. Subjects may include shock hazards, arc-flash hazards, risk assessment, electrically safe work conditions, approach boundaries, warning labels, protective equipment, and safety-related maintenance and work practices.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2022 supports study involving energy-efficiency requirements for applicable commercial sites and buildings. Electrical candidates may review lighting, controls, electrical power, equipment, energy use, and related building-performance provisions.
The PMBOK Guide supports project-management preparation involving planning, project teams, stakeholders, delivery, measurement, uncertainty, performance, and project outcomes. Electrical contractors must often coordinate technical work with schedules, costs, labor, materials, communication, risk, and contractual responsibilities.
Ugly’s Electrical References provides frequently used electrical formulas, diagrams, conductor information, conversions, calculations, and field data. Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications helps connect voltage, current, resistance, power, circuit behavior, and other electrical principles with practical code applications.
The package also includes two contractor business references. The Mississippi-specific NASCLA guide supports preparation for the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination, while the NASCLA Basic guide supports broader contractor business, law, financial-management, and project-management subjects.
The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Contractor examination is open book. Mississippi contractor examinations administered through PSI are also open book. Candidates are responsible for bringing the permitted references and following the current testing rules for approved titles, editions, highlighting, tabs, markings, notes, and supplemental materials.
Open-book testing still requires extensive preparation. A candidate may have the correct references in the examination room but lose valuable time by selecting the wrong book, searching an ineffective index term, overlooking an exception, or misinterpreting a table.
The rental books in this package are professionally highlighted and tabbed to support more efficient navigation. Highlighting identifies important requirements, calculations, definitions, safety provisions, and business concepts. Tabs divide the materials into major chapters, articles, and frequently reviewed subjects.
Candidates should review every tab before test day and understand what information is located within each prepared section. Practice using the table of contents, indexes, article numbers, formulas, diagrams, and technical terminology throughout the full reference set.
Electrical installation questions may lead to the 2023 National Electrical Code. Questions involving arc-flash hazards, shock protection, energized work, or electrically safe work conditions may require NFPA 70E.
Construction-safety questions may involve 29 CFR Part 1926, while general industry workplace-safety questions may require 29 CFR Part 1910. Candidates should learn the purpose of each OSHA reference so they can select the correct volume efficiently.
Energy-efficiency questions may require ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2022. Project planning, stakeholders, delivery, performance, or project-management questions may lead to the PMBOK Guide.
Electrical formulas, conversions, diagrams, and quick-reference information may be located in Ugly’s Electrical References. Theory-based calculations and the principles behind NEC applications may involve Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications.
Contractor business and law questions may involve the NASCLA Basic guide or the Mississippi-specific Business and Law guide, depending on the examination being taken. Candidates should not assume that the same business reference is used for every test.
Review the current candidate information bulletin before examination day. The testing provider determines which books, editions, tabs, markings, and materials are permitted in the testing room.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors administers the applicable commercial contractor licensing process. Electrical Work is recognized as a major classification involving the installation, repair, alteration, addition, or design of electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, conduit, and related electrical systems.
Applicants should select a classification that accurately reflects the services the business plans to provide. Electrical Work is broader than a limited electrical specialty and may include qualifying work performed within plants, substations, buildings, and other regulated electrical installations.
The qualifying party must have a relationship with the applicant that satisfies the Board’s requirements. Depending on the business structure, the qualifying party may be an owner, officer, executive staff member, or responsible managing employee.
The contractor application may require business-registration records, ownership details, qualifying-party documentation, project experience, references, financial information, insurance records, and other supporting materials. Information should remain accurate and consistent throughout the application.
Mississippi contractor applicants must complete the Law and Business Management examination. The applicable trade examination is also required unless the Board accepts an approved examination result or grants an applicable waiver.
A passing NASCLA Electrical Contractor examination result may be used to satisfy the trade-examination requirement when accepted by the applicable licensing authority. Candidates must still complete the Mississippi application and remaining state requirements.
Passing the NASCLA examination does not authorize a candidate or business to begin regulated electrical contracting work. The applicable Mississippi contractor credential must be issued before the company performs work that requires the license.
Electrical contractors may also be responsible for local permits, inspections, utility requirements, adopted electrical codes, employee safety, business registrations, insurance, and project-specific approvals.
All included rental books are professionally highlighted and tabbed. Candidates should become familiar with the prepared sections, indexes, articles, tables, formulas, diagrams, definitions, and terminology before examination day.
The $800 refundable deposit applies to the complete rental set. The books must be returned within six months from the date they are received and remain in similar condition for the deposit to be refunded.
Protect the references from water damage, missing pages, torn covers, damaged bindings, unauthorized attachments, removable notes, excessive writing, and other alterations. Please allow up to 15 business days for Book Rental Package orders.
Create a study schedule that separates the material into National Electrical Code navigation, electrical theory, calculations, construction safety, general industry safety, workplace electrical safety, energy standards, project management, and contractor business law.
Practice NEC navigation by article, table, definition, and index term. Review services, feeders, branch circuits, wiring methods, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, transformers, equipment, and common calculations.
Study OSHA and NFPA 70E as connected but separate resources. OSHA references address regulatory workplace requirements, while NFPA 70E provides detailed practices for reducing shock and arc-flash risk.
Complete timed reference searches using the full rental set. Identify the primary subject, select the most appropriate book, locate an effective search term, and find the supporting information. Repeat searches that take too long.
When reviewing a missed practice question, determine whether the issue resulted from limited electrical knowledge, selecting the wrong reference, using an ineffective index term, overlooking an exception, or making a calculation error.
Contractor Exam Prep helps electrical contractor candidates begin their preparation with a complete and organized rental library covering the major technical, safety, project-management, and business subjects associated with the NASCLA Electrical Contractor examination.
The professionally highlighted and tabbed references support more efficient navigation through electrical codes, federal safety regulations, electrical workplace-safety standards, energy requirements, technical guides, and contractor business books.
Renting the books together reduces the need to purchase and locate each title separately. The six-month rental period provides time to review the materials, complete timed lookup practice, prepare for the examinations, and work through applicable licensing steps.
Trade-focused review helps candidates connect electrical field experience with the formal terminology used in codes, safety standards, formulas, and examination questions. Practice-oriented preparation encourages repeated use of the references rather than relying only on memorization.
This rental package does not guarantee a passing score, examination eligibility, transcript acceptance, licensing approval, or license issuance. Results depend on the candidate’s electrical experience, preparation, technical understanding, reference-navigation skills, examination performance, and completion of licensing requirements.
