NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program's administration process will differ from the NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors Candidates and will only be able to take an examination through an administering regulatory agency. It will not be available as a national, stand alone examination through an independent testing provider.
Candidates must apply with the administering state agency to become approved to take an electrical examination through the program. The candidate must follow all state agency requirements to become licensed.
Once a candidate has taken and passed a NASCLA Accredited Examination, their information is stored in the NASCLA National Examination Database (NED). Candidates can then electronically send a state agency their transcript through the database to alert the agency that they have passed one or more of the examinations. State agencies can then pair the transcript with the candidate’s license application.
