NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program's administration process will differ from the NASCLA Accredited Exam for Commercial General Building Contractors.
Candidates are only able to take an exam through an administering regulatory agency. It is not available as a national, stand-alone examination through independent testing. Candidates must apply with the Administering State agency to become approved to take an electrical exam through the program.
Candidates are expected to follow individual state agency applications to become licensed, in addition to taking a Business Law exam.
Electrical candidtaes must submit verification of 4-years experience under a master or state certified electrical contractor.
Must have a minimum of 4-years (8,000 hrs) of experience that shows they have designed, planned, laid-out, directly supervised electrical construction activities, and the installation of electrical components. ( May substitute 1 yr education in electrical curriculum for 1/2 yr electrical experience) Max 2 yr
Because applicants must document experience in all aspects, they must list duties for each job held.
Employment affidavits must be completed by someone in the Human Resources Department, Co. President, Electrical Contractor, Master Electrician, Electrical Engineer, or Electrical Inspector from previous jobs to qualify as proper experience verification.
In order to do projects over $50,000 an additional subcontractor license is needed from the General Contractors Board.
The National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) has partnered with several industry stakeholders to create one nationally recognized accredited trade examination for electricians. Through administering state agencies, NASCLA offers (3) different open book electrical trade examinations through the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program. They are Electrical Contractors (Master/Unlimited Electricians), Journeyman Electricians and Residential Electrical Contractors (Residential Electricians).
