The NASCLA Accredited Examination for Journeyman Electricians is designed around the knowledge and skills used by journeyman electricians performing installation, maintenance, and repair work in accordance with applicable electrical codes and standards. NASCLA developed the examination through a national occupational analysis with input from electrical subject matter experts.
The current NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination contains 100 scored questions. Candidates must achieve a minimum passing score of 70, and the current examination allows 300 minutes, or 5 hours, for completion.
The current examination content outline includes:
Wiring and Protection, Wiring Methods and Materials, and General Code Requirements represent a substantial portion of the examination. Candidates should therefore develop strong National Electrical Code navigation skills while also studying electrical theory, safety, troubleshooting, equipment, plans and specifications, and specialty electrical systems.
NASCLA examination applications can be submitted through the NASCLA National Examination Database. An approved NASCLA examination application is valid for one year from the date of approval. After passing, candidates can use the National Examination Database to transmit examination results electronically to participating licensing agencies.
New Mexico accepts the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination as a trade-examination pathway, but passing the examination alone does not issue a New Mexico Journeyman Certificate. Applicants must complete the applicable New Mexico certification process and satisfy the additional requirements established by the Construction Industries Division.
The NASCLA Accredited Journeyman Electrician examination is an open book test. Candidates may use authorized references that comply with current examination rules.
Open-book testing makes effective reference navigation an important part of preparation. Candidates should be able to recognize the subject of a question, decide which book is most likely to contain the applicable information, locate the correct section or table, and apply the information within the available examination time.
The highlighted and tabbed preparation of this package is designed to support that process. Highlighting helps make important material easier to identify during repeated study, while permanent tabs provide clear navigation points for commonly referenced areas.
The 2023 National Electrical Code should become one of the most familiar references in the package. Practice using the NEC index, Article 100 definitions, chapters, articles, tables, and cross-references. Learn how broad requirements connect with more specific rules governing wiring methods, equipment, conductors, occupancies, and special installations.
Safety references should also be used regularly. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 addresses construction-industry safety requirements, while OSHA 29 CFR 1910 covers general-industry workplace requirements. NFPA 70E focuses specifically on electrical safety in the workplace.
Ugly's Electrical References and Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications support electrical calculations, formulas, theory, and practical problem solving. NFPA 72 supports preparation involving fire alarm and signaling-system requirements.
A useful study routine is to identify the topic of a practice question before opening a book. Select the appropriate reference, use the permanent tabs to reach the relevant section, locate the information, and then solve or confirm the answer. Repeating this process develops both technical understanding and open-book navigation skills.
The NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination can satisfy an accepted trade-examination requirement in New Mexico, but candidates must still complete the New Mexico certification process administered through the Construction Industries Division.
Journeyman electrical certification in New Mexico is administered through the Construction Industries Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department. The Division regulates construction trades and issues certificates of competence for applicable journeyman classifications.
The principal New Mexico journeyman electrical classification used for residential and commercial electrical work is EE-98J. New Mexico identifies this classification as residential and commercial electrical journeyman work.
New Mexico's journeyman certification rules require applicants to document qualifying work experience or approved training for the classification being sought. The Construction Industries Division evaluates the applicant's experience and supporting documentation as part of the certification process.
New Mexico also recognizes qualifying technical training from accredited educational institutions, approved apprenticeship programs, and other recognized training sources according to the state's certification rules. Candidates should organize documentation showing dates, employers, training providers, and electrical work performed.
For the NASCLA pathway, New Mexico accepts the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination in lieu of the trade examination for the Journeyman Certificate. New Mexico additionally requires a letter of good standing from another state agency demonstrating that the candidate has been licensed for at least one year.
The NASCLA examination should not be confused with a national electrical license. NASCLA provides an accredited examination accepted by participating agencies. New Mexico remains responsible for issuing the actual certificate and determining whether an applicant meets its certification requirements.
New Mexico also maintains journeyman reciprocity for the EE-98J classification with qualifying electricians from participating states. The current reciprocal jurisdictions include Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. Reciprocity has its own application and eligibility requirements and is separate from the NASCLA examination pathway.
New Mexico requires continuing education for renewal of journeyman electrician certificates. The current requirement includes at least 16 hours of continuing education during each three-year period between electrical code updates. Eight hours must consist of code-change instruction, and eight hours may consist of other approved industry-related instruction.
Journeyman certification is also different from a New Mexico contractor license. Contractor licensing involves separate business entities, qualifying parties, licensing classifications, business and law requirements, bonds, registrations, and other requirements. Candidates should pursue the credential appropriate to the work and business activities they intend to perform.
The New Mexico NASCLA Journeyman Electrician - Highlighted and Tabbed Book Package includes the following references. The books are prepared with highlighting and permanent tabs to support organized study and efficient navigation.
Please allow up to 15 business days for tabbed and highlighted book package orders.
