Exam Details

The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program provides a standardized trade examination for Electrical Contractors, also described as Master or Unlimited Electricians. Candidates who pass may use their examination results when applying to participating licensing agencies that accept the NASCLA credential.

Passing the examination does not create a national electrical contractor license. Each participating jurisdiction maintains its own application, experience, financial, insurance, business-law, fee, and final approval requirements. Candidates must complete the licensing process for every jurisdiction where they plan to perform regulated electrical contracting work.

The electrical examination may address general electrical knowledge, National Electrical Code requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, wiring methods, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, transformers, electrical equipment, calculations, workplace safety, project management, energy requirements, and electrical theory.

The 2023 National Electrical Code is a central technical reference. Candidates should become familiar with the NEC’s organization, definitions, chapters, articles, tables, exceptions, calculations, equipment requirements, wiring methods, and specialized installations.

The OSHA construction and general industry references support preparation involving electrical hazards, personal protective equipment, temporary power, tools, ladders, fall protection, equipment, material handling, lockout procedures, and employer safety responsibilities.

NFPA 70E supports preparation involving electrical safety in the workplace. Study areas can include shock hazards, arc-flash hazards, risk assessment, approach boundaries, electrically safe work conditions, protective equipment, warning labels, and safety-related work practices.

ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2022 supports preparation involving applicable energy-efficiency requirements for commercial building systems. Topics may involve electrical power, lighting, controls, equipment, and energy-use provisions for sites and buildings other than low-rise residential buildings.

The PMBOK Guide supports project-management review involving planning, teams, stakeholders, project work, delivery, measurement, uncertainty, and performance. Electrical contractors often need to understand how technical work connects with scheduling, communication, cost control, risk, and project outcomes.

Ugly’s Electrical References provides frequently used formulas, conversions, diagrams, conductor information, and calculation aids. Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications helps candidates connect voltage, current, resistance, power, circuits, and other electrical principles with practical code applications.

The package also includes contractor business references. The Mississippi NASCLA guide supports preparation for Mississippi Law and Business Management topics, while the NASCLA Basic guide supports broader contractor business, law, financial, and project-management subjects.

Open Book Test

The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Contractor examination is open book. Mississippi examinations administered through PSI are also open book. Candidates must follow the current examination rules for permitted titles, editions, tabs, highlighting, markings, notes, and supplemental materials.

Open-book testing requires strong reference-navigation skills. Candidates may have access to the correct books but still struggle when they cannot identify the proper reference, locate an effective index term, or interpret the applicable provision within the available testing time.

The rental books in this package are professionally highlighted and tabbed. Highlighting identifies important code sections, calculations, safety provisions, tables, definitions, and business topics. Tabs help candidates move between major chapters, articles, and frequently reviewed subject areas.

Candidates should study every prepared tab before test day. Review each reference’s table of contents, index, chapter organization, formulas, diagrams, and terminology. The prepared books are most useful when candidates have already practiced navigating them under timed conditions.

Electrical installation questions may lead to the 2023 National Electrical Code. Electrical workplace-safety questions may require NFPA 70E. Construction safety may involve 29 CFR Part 1926, while general industry safety questions may require 29 CFR Part 1910.

Energy-efficiency questions may involve ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2022. Project-management questions may lead to the PMBOK Guide. Electrical formulas and compact technical information may be located in Ugly’s Electrical References.

Questions involving the principles behind electrical calculations and code applications may require Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications. Contractor business and law questions may involve the Mississippi-specific or NASCLA Basic contractor guide, depending on the examination being taken.

Candidates should review the current candidate bulletin before testing. The examination provider determines which references and preparation methods are accepted into the testing room.

Licensing Steps

1. Confirm the appropriate classification. Determine that the Mississippi Electrical Work classification matches the electrical contracting services the business intends to provide.
2. Select the qualifying party. Identify the owner, officer, or responsible managing employee who will qualify the business and complete the required examinations.
3. Document electrical experience. Organize detailed information showing relevant electrical construction, installation, maintenance, supervision, or project-management experience.
4. Prepare the Mississippi application. Complete the applicable contractor filing and gather the requested business, ownership, qualifying-party, experience, insurance, financial, reference, and supporting information.
5. Submit the application. Send the completed application to the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for review.
6. Respond to application requests. Supply missing documents, corrections, explanations, or additional information requested during the review process.
7. Apply for the NASCLA examination. Complete the applicable NASCLA examination registration steps and obtain authorization to schedule the test.
8. Schedule the examination. Follow the testing provider’s instructions to select an available examination date and location.
9. Prepare with the course and books. Review the NEC, electrical theory, calculations, safety, energy standards, project management, and contractor business subjects.
10. Prepare for Mississippi Business and Law. Review the Mississippi-specific business-law material required for the contractor licensing process.
11. Take the required examinations. Bring acceptable identification and only the books and materials permitted under current testing rules.
12. Submit examination results. Complete any transcript or score-reporting process required for the Mississippi application.
13. Complete outstanding requirements. Provide any remaining application documents or corrections requested during final review.
14. Receive licensing approval. Passing the examinations does not automatically issue a contractor license. The complete application and supporting documents must also be approved.
15. Maintain the license. After issuance, the contractor is responsible for renewals, insurance, business records, permits, taxes, safety responsibilities, and ongoing compliance.

State Requirements

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors administers the applicable contractor licensing process. Electrical Work is recognized as a major contractor classification.

Applicants must complete the contractor license application before scheduling Mississippi-administered examinations. The Board reviews the application, identifies missing requirements, and sends testing eligibility information to PSI when the candidate is authorized to test.

The qualifying party must have a relationship with the applicant that meets the Board’s requirements. Depending on the business structure, the qualifying party may be an owner, officer, executive staff member, or responsible managing employee.

The Mississippi Law and Business Management examination is required for contractor applicants. A trade examination is also required unless the Board accepts an approved examination result or grants an applicable waiver.

NASCLA examination results may satisfy the trade-examination component when accepted by the applicable licensing agency. Candidates must still complete the Mississippi application, Business and Law examination, documentation, and final approval process.

The contractor application may require business-registration documents, ownership records, qualifying-party information, detailed experience, references, insurance documentation, financial information, and additional supporting materials.

Passing the NASCLA examination does not authorize a candidate or business to begin regulated electrical contracting work in Mississippi. The appropriate contractor license must be issued before the company performs work requiring that credential.

Electrical contractors may also be responsible for local permits, inspections, utility requirements, adopted codes, employee safety, business registrations, insurance, and project-specific approvals.
