Passing the NASCLA examination does not automatically issue a New Mexico contractor license. Applicants must complete the applicable Construction Industries Division licensing process.
This package includes the listed electrical and business-law references, 1 year of course access, Application Service, Business Formation, EIN Filing with the IRS, and Contractor Compliance Guidance. All included books are highlighted and tabbed to support organized study and efficient reference navigation.

Please allow up to 15 business days for The 1 Package book orders.
The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program offers an examination for Electrical Contractors, Master Electricians, and Unlimited Electricians. New Mexico participates in the program through the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department.
New Mexico accepts the NASCLA Electrical Contractor/Master Electrician examination in lieu of the state trade examination for the EE98 classification. NASCLA also identifies an additional New Mexico requirement for candidates using this pathway: candidates must provide a letter of good standing from another state agency showing that they have been licensed for at least one year.
The NASCLA electrical examination is designed around the work performed by experienced electrical professionals. Preparation covers subjects such as electrical theory, National Electrical Code requirements, project design and management, safety, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, electrical equipment, special systems, and other electrical contracting knowledge areas.
Passing the NASCLA examination provides an accepted trade-exam pathway, but New Mexico retains authority over the licensing decision. Applicants must complete the qualifying-party and contractor licensing requirements established by the Construction Industries Division.
New Mexico qualifying-party applicants must also satisfy the state's Contractor Business and Law requirement. The Construction Industries Division requires qualifying-party applicants to pass the applicable classification examination and a Contractor's Business and Law examination, unless an approved Business and Law course is used where permitted by the state.
The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Contractor/Master Electrician examination is an open book test. Candidates use authorized reference materials according to the examination rules established for the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program.
New Mexico's Contractor Business and Law examination is also an open book examination. Approved references may be used under the testing provider's examination-center rules.
Open-book testing makes reference navigation an essential study skill. Candidates need to recognize the subject of a question, identify which reference contains the relevant information, locate the appropriate section, and apply the information efficiently. With multiple electrical, safety, project-management, code, and business-law references involved, familiarity with the books can be just as important as familiarity with individual facts.
All books included in The 1 Package are highlighted and tabbed to help create a more organized study experience. Candidates can use the prepared references while working through course material and practice-oriented review, building familiarity with important sections and the overall structure of each book.
The NASCLA examination can satisfy an accepted New Mexico trade-examination requirement, but obtaining a New Mexico electrical contractor license involves additional steps. The Construction Industries Division licenses qualified business entities that employ or are owned by properly certified qualifying parties.
New Mexico contractor licensing is regulated by the Construction Industries Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department. The state licenses business entities that are properly qualified to perform work within specific contractor classifications.
A qualifying party is the individual who qualifies the licensed entity for the classification of work the company intends to perform. New Mexico requires qualifying-party applicants to have the applicable experience for the classification being requested, and qualifying experience generally must fall within the period established by the state's licensing rules.
Qualifying-party applicants must be preapproved before scheduling applicable state examinations. New Mexico requires the qualifying party to satisfy the applicable classification examination requirement and the Contractor Business and Law requirement. For the EE98 pathway covered by this package, the NASCLA Electrical Contractor/Master Electrician examination may be accepted in lieu of the state trade examination when New Mexico's NASCLA conditions are met.
After the qualifying party has satisfied applicable requirements, the business entity submits the contractor license application. New Mexico requires licensed entities to maintain a license bond and applicable registrations. Workers' compensation coverage is required for licensed entities under the state's contractor licensing process.
New Mexico also requires applicable tax and business registration documentation when a company applies for a contractor license. Corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other business structures must complete the registrations required for their entity type.
A NASCLA examination result is not a national electrical license. It is an examination credential that participating jurisdictions can accept in place of their own trade examination. New Mexico continues to determine whether an applicant satisfies the state's licensing, qualifying-party, business, and compliance requirements.
The 1 Package includes the following highlighted and tabbed electrical and business-law references:
A strong New Mexico NASCLA Master Electrical Contractor preparation plan should combine electrical knowledge with repeated reference navigation. The examination covers more than NEC memorization, so candidates should allocate study time to theory, calculations, safety, project design, management, wiring methods, equipment, and specialty electrical topics.
Make the 2023 National Electrical Code a regular part of your study routine. Practice using the index, locating major articles, reading tables, following cross-references, and identifying where common requirements are organized. The objective is to develop a repeatable method for finding information rather than searching randomly during an examination.
Electrical theory should be reviewed alongside code material. Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity and Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications support preparation involving circuits, voltage, current, resistance, power, loads, conductors, formulas, and other electrical principles.
Safety preparation should address both general construction safety and electrical workplace safety. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 and NFPA 70E support study in these areas. Project-management references help reinforce planning, coordination, management, and contracting concepts that complement technical electrical knowledge.
New Mexico Business and Law preparation should receive separate attention. Contractor licensing involves responsibilities beyond technical installation work, including licensing rules, business organization, regulatory compliance, and management responsibilities. Use the business-law materials to become familiar with the framework that governs contracting in New Mexico.
Work with the highlighted and tabbed books throughout your preparation. When reviewing practice questions, determine the subject first, choose the most likely reference, locate the relevant section, and then confirm your answer. Repetition helps build the navigation habits needed for open-book testing.
Contractor Exam Prep combines trade-focused electrical preparation with licensing support and business setup services to create a more organized path toward becoming a New Mexico electrical contractor. The 1 Package brings together exam-preparation resources, highlighted and tabbed books, Application Service, business formation, EIN filing, and contractor compliance support.
All included books are highlighted and tabbed, allowing you to spend more of your study time learning the material and practicing reference navigation. For an open-book examination, familiarity with the organization of each reference is an important part of preparation.
The package includes 1 year of course access, giving you time to work through electrical theory, NEC navigation, safety, wiring requirements, equipment, project-management topics, business-law material, and practice-oriented review at a structured pace.
Application Service is included to support the licensing process alongside your exam preparation. The package also includes Business Formation for an LLC or corporation, helping establish the legal business entity used for your electrical contracting operation.
EIN Filing with the IRS is included. An Employer Identification Number can be used to open business bank accounts, manage taxes properly, hire employees, and support the administrative side of running the company.
Contractor Compliance Guidance is included to provide assistance understanding New Mexico contractor requirements and the responsibilities connected with operating a licensed contracting business.
Contractor Exam Prep supports students through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, reference navigation when applicable, and confidence-building study structure. The goal is to help you develop stronger familiarity with the examination material while creating a clearer path through licensing and business setup.
