Exam Details

The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program provides standardized electrical examinations for participating licensing agencies. The program includes examinations for Electrical Contractors or Master Electricians, Journeyman Electricians, and Residential Electrical Contractors.

The Residential Electrical Contractor examination is designed around knowledge and skills used in electrical installation, service, repair, and maintenance typically encountered in permanent dwelling units. Candidates should prepare across multiple technical subjects rather than focusing only on individual National Electrical Code sections.

Important residential electrical preparation areas include:

• Electrical theory and calculations
• National Electrical Code navigation
• Residential services and service equipment
• Feeders and branch circuits
• Dwelling-unit load calculations
• Conductor sizing and ampacity
• Overcurrent protection
• Grounding and bonding
• Residential wiring methods
• Boxes, cables, raceways, and enclosures
• Electrical equipment and appliances
• Personal and jobsite safety
• Electrical workplace safety
• Fire alarm and emergency circuits
• Residential construction requirements
• Electrical theory and practical problem solving
• Project design, estimating, and management

Nebraska's state electrical examination information identifies examination subjects that include the 2023 National Electrical Code, Basic Electricity and Theory, the Nebraska State Electrical Act, and Emergency Circuits including Fire Alarm Circuits. Candidates pursuing Nebraska residential electrical licensing should therefore combine national residential electrical preparation with study of Nebraska-specific electrical requirements.

The Nebraska State Electrical Division currently uses PSI for Electrical Contractor, Journeyman, and Residential Wireman testing. Applicants must first obtain approval from the State Electrical Division. After approval, eligibility is submitted to PSI and the candidate receives scheduling information.

Current testing information, including question counts, testing time, topic categories, and permitted examination materials, is provided through the PSI candidate bulletin associated with the candidate's approved examination.

Open Book Test

The NASCLA Residential Electrical Contractor examination is an open book test. The NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program consists of open-book examinations for Electrical Contractors, Journeyman Electricians, and Residential Electrical Contractors.

Nebraska's State Electrical Act also permits applicants to refer to an open copy of the National Electrical Code when answering examination questions based on the NEC. Candidates should always follow the current examination bulletin regarding exactly which materials are permitted at their scheduled test.

Open-book testing makes reference navigation an important part of preparation. Candidates should practice identifying the subject of a question, deciding which reference contains the needed information, locating the applicable code provision, table, formula, definition, or safety rule, and applying the information correctly.

All included rental books are highlighted and permanently tabbed to support this type of preparation. Highlighting can help focus attention on important material, while tabs create visible navigation points throughout larger codes, standards, and technical references.

The National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023 deserves substantial attention because Nebraska examinations specifically include the 2023 NEC. Candidates should become familiar with Article 100 definitions, the NEC index, individual articles, tables, exceptions, notes, and cross-references.

Residential NEC study should include services, feeders, branch circuits, dwelling-unit load calculations, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, boxes, raceways, cables, receptacles, lighting, appliances, equipment, motors, and special systems.

Electrical theory should be studied alongside code navigation. Review voltage, current, resistance, power, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, alternating-current concepts, motors, transformers, and practical calculations. Nebraska specifically identifies basic electricity and theory as an examination subject, making this an important part of preparation.

NFPA 72 supports preparation involving fire alarm systems and emergency circuits, which are specifically identified within Nebraska's examination information. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 supports construction safety, while NFPA 70E addresses electrical workplace safety.

Licensing Steps

Passing an examination does not automatically issue a Nebraska Residential Journeyman Electrician license. Applicants must satisfy Nebraska's experience, application, examination, and licensing requirements before the credential is issued.

1. Identify the Type RW credential. Nebraska licenses residential journeymen under the Residential Journeyman Electrician, Type RW classification.
2. Review the residential scope. Type RW is limited to qualifying residential electrical installations.
3. Meet the experience requirement. Applicants must satisfy Nebraska's required electrical trade experience for the Type RW license.
4. Use qualifying education when applicable. Nebraska provides an education-based pathway that can allow experience credit for an approved post-high-school electrical program.
5. Submit the Nebraska electrical license application. Provide the application, fee, experience documentation, and other required information to the State Electrical Division.
6. Receive approval to test. Nebraska reviews the application before sending examination eligibility to PSI.
7. Prepare with the Ultimate package. Use the highlighted and permanently tabbed books together with 1 year of course access.
8. Complete the required examination. Schedule and take the examination according to current Nebraska and PSI procedures.
9. Use the included Application Service. Application Service is included with this Ultimate package to support the application process.
10. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Provide any additional documentation requested by the State Electrical Division.
11. Receive the credential after approval. The Type RW license is issued once all applicable Nebraska requirements have been satisfied.

State Requirements

Electrical licensing in Nebraska is regulated by the Nebraska State Electrical Division. The Residential Journeyman Electrician Type RW credential authorizes qualifying residential electrical work within the scope established by the State Electrical Act and State Electrical Board rules.

A Type RW applicant must have at least three years of experience acceptable to the Nebraska State Electrical Board in the electrical trade. Registration as an apprentice electrician for those years may constitute evidence of the required experience when approved by the Board.

Nebraska also allows educational credit toward the residential journeyman experience requirement. The Board may allow one year of experience credit for successful completion of an approved two-year post-high-school electrical course.

The current Nebraska application also identifies a pathway involving two years of verifiable experience acceptable to the Board plus successful completion of a post-high-school electrical wiring program resulting in a Degree in Electrical Technology.

The current application fee for a Residential Journeyman Electrician, Type RW is $90. For a license issued in an even-numbered year, the current Type RW license fee is $37.50. A license issued in an odd-numbered year carries the applicable higher amount for the two-year licensing period.

A Nebraska Residential Journeyman Electrician is licensed to wire for or install electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment for residential installations and to supervise apprentice electricians within that residential scope.

Nebraska defines a residential installation as an installation intended for a single-family or two-family residential dwelling or a multifamily residential dwelling not larger than three stories in height. Clubhouses at multifamily complexes must be wired by Type JA journeymen rather than under the Type RW classification.

The Nebraska State Electrical Division's current examination information states that all license examinations other than apprentice registration cover subjects including the National Electrical Code 2023, Basic Electricity and Theory, Nebraska State Electrical Act, and Emergency Circuits including Fire Alarm Circuits.

Applicants must provide complete work-experience information. Nebraska requires complete employer addresses, and verification letters from employers must be on company letterhead when experience verification is required.

After a candidate successfully passes a Nebraska electrical examination, the State Electrical Division currently awards six hours of continuing education credit toward the total required for license renewal.

Nebraska electrical licenses expire on December 31 of even-numbered years. License renewal requires at least 12 hours of approved continuing education, including at least six hours devoted to the National Electrical Code.
