The NASCLA Accredited Examination for Journeyman Electricians is part of the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program. The program provides a standardized electrical trade examination that participating state licensing agencies may accept instead of requiring an applicant to repeat their state-specific trade examination.
New Mexico is a participating jurisdiction through the Construction Industries Division. NASCLA identifies New Mexico as accepting the Journeyman Electrician examination, and the result may be used in lieu of the applicable trade examination for the New Mexico Journeyman Certificate pathway.
The NASCLA electrical examination program is built around the knowledge and skills associated with professional electrical work. Candidates should prepare for subjects that include:
Preparation should include branch circuits, feeders, services, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, raceways, boxes, cables, motors, transformers, equipment, special occupancies, calculations, workplace safety, troubleshooting, and electrical theory.
NASCLA examination applications may be submitted through the NASCLA National Examination Database. NASCLA currently lists an application fee of $65, and an approved application is valid for one year from the approval date. Candidates using the NASCLA pathway must still complete New Mexico's separate certification process.
Passing the NASCLA examination does not create a national electrician license. New Mexico determines whether an applicant satisfies the requirements for a New Mexico Journeyman Certificate.
The NASCLA Accredited Journeyman Electrician examination is an open book test. Candidates may use authorized reference materials that comply with the rules applicable to the examination.
Open-book testing makes reference navigation an important part of preparation. Candidates should be able to identify the subject being tested, determine which reference is most likely to contain the information, locate the relevant code provision, table, formula, or technical requirement, and then apply that information correctly.
All seven rental references included in this Ultimate package are highlighted and permanently tabbed. Highlighting helps draw attention to important technical material, while permanent tabs create recognizable navigation points throughout the books. Candidates can use these prepared references throughout the study process to build familiarity with how the material is organized.
The NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code 2023 should receive substantial attention during study. Practice using Article 100 definitions, the index, chapter structure, individual articles, tables, exceptions, and cross-references. Develop a method for finding information based on the subject of a question instead of relying only on memorized code numbers.
OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 supports preparation involving construction-industry safety, while OSHA 29 CFR 1910 addresses 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 formulas, calculations, electrical theory, and practical problem solving. NFPA 72 supports preparation involving fire alarm and signaling systems.
A productive open-book preparation routine is to work practice-oriented questions with the books. Identify the subject, choose the correct reference, navigate to the applicable material using the tabs, and confirm the rule, formula, or technical concept before completing the problem.
Passing the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination does not automatically issue a New Mexico Journeyman Certificate. Candidates must complete the applicable certification process through the New Mexico Construction Industries Division.
Journeyman electrical certification in New Mexico is administered through the Construction Industries Division. New Mexico maintains multiple electrical journeyman classifications based on the scope of work performed.
The principal residential and commercial classification is EE-98J ā Journeyman Residential and Commercial Electrical. New Mexico requires four years of experience for this classification. The EE-98J certificate allows work under an EE-98, ER-1, and applicable electrical specialty contractor license, subject to the scope of the contractor license under which the journeyman is working.
New Mexico also maintains additional electrical journeyman classifications. These include ER-1J for residential wiring, EL-1J for electrical distribution systems including transmission lines, ES-1J for electrical signs and outline lighting, ES-2J for cathodic protection and lightning protection systems, ES-3J for sound, intercommunication, electrical alarm systems, and systems operating at 50 volts and under, and other specialty classifications.
Experience requirements differ by classification. EE-98J and EL-1J require four years of experience, while several specialty journeyman classifications require two years of experience. Candidates should pursue the classification that corresponds to the electrical work they intend to perform.
New Mexico accepts the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination in lieu of the trade examination for the Journeyman Certificate pathway. However, NASCLA currently states that New Mexico also requires a letter of good standing from another state agency showing at least one year of licensure for candidates using this acceptance pathway.
New Mexico also maintains separate reciprocity provisions for EE-98J. The Construction Industries Division identifies EE-98J as the electrical journeyman classification eligible for reciprocity and states that it requires 8,000 hours of experience for the reciprocal pathway.
New Mexico currently recognizes EE-98J reciprocity from Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. Reciprocity is a separate process from using the NASCLA examination as a trade-exam waiver.
A New Mexico Journeyman Certificate is also different from an electrical contractor license. Journeyman certification applies to the individual performing work within the permitted classification, while contractor licensing carries separate business, qualifying-party, financial, and classification requirements.
EE-98J certificate holders are also subject to New Mexico's applicable electrical continuing-education requirements. Certificate holders should maintain their certification according to the current renewal procedures established by the Construction Industries Division.
The following highlighted and tabbed books are included as rentals with the New Mexico NASCLA Journeyman Electrician Ultimate Exam Prep Rental Package:
Please allow up to 15 business days for ultimate book package orders.
A productive New Mexico NASCLA Journeyman Electrician study plan should combine technical review with regular use of the highlighted and tabbed reference library. With 1 year of course access, candidates have an extended period to build electrical knowledge, practice calculations, strengthen code-navigation skills, and revisit challenging subjects.
Begin with the National Electrical Code. Study branch circuits, feeders, services, conductor ampacity, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, raceways, cables, boxes, motors, transformers, equipment, and special installations.
Practice using the NEC index, definitions, articles, tables, and cross-references. Learning how the Code is organized can make open-book navigation more efficient than relying only on memorized section numbers.
Electrical theory should be studied alongside code requirements. Review voltage, current, resistance, power, series and parallel circuits, alternating-current principles, transformers, motors, loads, and commonly used electrical calculations.
Safety preparation should include OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and NFPA 70E. Candidates should understand which reference applies to construction-industry safety, general workplace requirements, and electrical safe-work practices.
Testing and troubleshooting should also be part of regular study. Review voltage, current, resistance, continuity, circuit behavior, test instruments, equipment operation, and systematic approaches to identifying electrical faults.
NFPA 72 supports preparation involving fire alarm and signaling systems. Ugly's Electrical References and Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications provide additional support for formulas, calculations, theory, and practical electrical problem solving.
Use the online course and the reference library together. Work through a technical subject, answer practice-oriented questions, identify the appropriate book, navigate to the relevant section, and confirm the underlying rule or concept. Repeating this process helps build both technical understanding and open-book reference familiarity.
Contractor Exam Prep supports New Mexico electrical candidates through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, reference navigation, and confidence-building study structure. The New Mexico NASCLA Journeyman Electrician Ultimate Exam Prep Rental Package combines online preparation, highlighted and tabbed rental references, and Application Service in one package.
The included 1 year of course access gives candidates time to create a consistent preparation schedule, revisit weaker subjects, practice calculations, and repeatedly use the same organized reference books throughout the study process.
The highlighted and permanently tabbed books support active reference navigation. Candidates can become familiar with the location of electrical code provisions, OSHA requirements, electrical safety standards, theory information, formulas, and fire alarm material during regular study.
