The NASCLA Accredited Examination Program was designed to assist contractors who need to be licensed in multiple jurisdictions. Contractors who take the accredited examination can access NASCLA’s Examination Database (NED) and request that their results be sent to other jurisdictions that accept the examination, thereby reducing redundant licensing requirements. 

There are currently three NASCLA Electrical Exams available:

• Master/Unlimited Electrical Contractors Exam: for those who conduct business in the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical work conforming to applicable standards and codes.
• Journeyman Electrician Exam: for individuals who have demonstrated capacity in the knowledge and skills needed to properly perform the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical work conforming to applicable standards and codes.
• Residential Electrical Contractor Exam: for individuals who demonstrate competency in performing electrical installations, service, repair, and maintenance typically encountered in a permanent dwelling unit.
