Beginning July 1, 2026, Prov became the Board’s new contractor examination provider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe current CE Electrical Contractor examination contains 100 questions and allows two hours for completion. The examination measures knowledge across several major categories associated with professional electrical contracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral Electrical Knowledge accounts for 14 questions. Candidates should be prepared for electrical terminology, theory, calculations, practical electrical principles, and general trade knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlan Reading accounts for two questions, while Code Reading accounts for five questions. Candidates should be comfortable interpreting basic project information and navigating electrical code provisions efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWiring and Protection is the largest category, with 23 questions. Preparation should include branch circuits, feeders, services, overcurrent protection, conductor requirements, grounding, bonding, and related protective requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWiring Methods and Materials accounts for 15 questions. Topics can involve conductors, raceways, cables, boxes, cabinets, enclosures, fittings, physical protection, permitted installation methods, and code requirements governing the use of electrical materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipment for General Use accounts for six questions. Candidates should understand requirements affecting switches, receptacles, luminaires, appliances, transformers, generators, and other utilization equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMotors and Controls account for 10 questions. Master-level preparation should include motor conductors, overload protection, short-circuit and ground-fault protection, disconnecting means, controllers, and motor-related calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommunication Systems account for seven questions. Special Occupancies, Special Equipment, and Hazardous Locations account for four questions each. These areas require candidates to recognize when additional or modified NEC requirements apply to specialized installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOSHA Safety accounts for six questions. Electrical contractors must understand safe work practices alongside code-compliant installation requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simulated practice exams included with this package help candidates apply electrical knowledge in an exam-oriented format. Practice sessions can identify weaknesses in theory, calculations, code navigation, wiring methods, motors, grounding and bonding, or time management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eOpen Book Test\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tennessee CE Electrical Contractor examination uses approved reference materials and is administered as an open-book contractor examination under the testing provider’s reference-material rules. Candidates should prepare and bring only the references permitted for their specific scheduled examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe current Prov candidate bulletin lists the 2017 National Electrical Code as a CE Electrical Contractor reference, along with Ugly’s Electrical References, OSHA 29 CFR 1926, and the American Electrician’s Handbook. During the current provider transition, certain PSI-approved reference materials may also remain accepted through January 1, 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 NEC included with this study package is the foundation of the course rather than a representation that every Tennessee CE candidate may take the 2023 edition into the exam room. Candidates should use the exact code edition and approved references listed for their examination appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen-book testing still requires preparation. With 100 questions and a two-hour testing period, candidates need to work efficiently. There is little time to search extensively for every answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included NEC tabs help students develop stronger navigation habits while studying. Candidates can practice identifying the subject of a question and moving quickly to the appropriate article, definition, table, exception, or related provision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudents should become comfortable with the NEC table of contents, index, Article 100 definitions, chapter structure, tables, exceptions, informational notes, and cross-references. Understanding how the code is organized is often more useful than trying to memorize individual section numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe study guides, flash cards, videos, and simulated practice exams are preparation materials. Only references authorized by the Tennessee examination provider should be brought into the official testing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eLicensing Steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by selecting the Tennessee Electrical Contractor CE classification for contractor-level electrical work. Tennessee describes this classification as comparable to a Master Electrician credential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdentify the individual who will serve as the Qualifying Agent for the contractor license. The Qualifying Agent is the person who takes the required examinations for the entity seeking the license and may be an owner or qualifying employee of the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete the required Tennessee Business and Law examination and the CE Electrical Contractor trade examination. Tennessee requires the Business and Law examination for new contractor applicants, while the CE classification requires its corresponding electrical trade test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare for the electrical examination using the NEC overview, Master Electrician Study Guide, Calculations Study Guide, flash cards, instructor-led lessons, and simulated practice exams included in this package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse timed practice because the current CE examination allows two hours for 100 questions. Practice recognizing straightforward questions quickly and reserving additional time for calculations and detailed reference research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing the examination requirements, prepare the financial documentation required for the Tennessee contractor application. Tennessee requires a reviewed or audited financial statement prepared by a properly licensed independent accounting firm, with the required level determined by the monetary limit being requested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplicants must also provide the documentation required with the contractor application, including appropriate business information, reference documentation, insurance information, and qualifying-agent information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSubmit the complete contractor application to the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. The license is issued to the business entity in the approved classification and with the monetary limit established through the licensing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not bid, offer to contract, or perform work requiring the state contractor license until the license has been issued. Passing the examinations alone does not authorize a person or business to operate as a licensed Tennessee electrical contractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eState Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors regulates statewide contractor licensing. Tennessee requires a contractor’s license before bidding, offering a price, or contracting for projects with a total cost of $25,000 or more when the work falls within the state contractor licensing law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical subcontractors are also subject to the contractor licensing requirement when their electrical portion of a project is $25,000 or more. The electrical CE classification is the statewide contractor classification for this level of electrical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTennessee specifically describes the CE classification as comparable to a Master Electrician license. The classification applies to electrical systems serving residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and covers a broad range of electrical contracting activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor electrical work below the contractor-license threshold, Tennessee also maintains a Limited Licensed Electrician classification. Local governments may impose additional requirements, and some jurisdictions require local electrical journeyman or master credentials for permits and inspections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CE contractor classification should therefore be distinguished from the Limited Licensed Electrician credential. The CE license is a contractor classification and is the appropriate statewide credential for electrical contracting work meeting Tennessee’s contractor-license threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTennessee contractor applicants must complete the required examinations, financial statement requirements, application documentation, and insurance requirements before receiving the license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contractor license is assigned a monetary limit that determines the maximum size of an individual project or contract the licensee may undertake. The limit is based in part on financial information submitted during the licensing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLicensed contractors remain responsible for permits, inspections, adopted codes, local administrative requirements, and any additional registrations required where work is performed. A state contractor license does not eliminate project-specific permitting or code-enforcement obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eReference Books\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNFPA 70 National Electrical Code, 2023 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe primary electrical code book included with this package and used throughout the instructor-led course.
