A telecommunications contracting company is required to have a properly designated telecommunications administrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washington Telecommunications Administrator examination combines National Electrical Code knowledge with Washington laws and rules. Technical questions emphasize communications systems, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, special conditions, general NEC requirements, hazardous locations, and general trade knowledge and theory.
