Electrical Contractor License Exam Prep — All States

Preparing for an electrical contractor or electrician license exam? Contractor Pathway builds an original, exam-focused study guide plus four full-length practice exams for electrical classifications across the country — from state-issued Journeyman and Master Electrician licenses to California’s C-10 Electrical Contractor classification. Every course is matched to the license your state actually tests, with 30-, 60-, and 90-day access at $99, $129, and $169.

Electrical licensing varies a lot by state

There is no single “electrician exam” — every state licensing board sets its own tiers (Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, Contractor), its own code edition (most use the National Electrical Code, but the adoption year differs by state and can differ again by local jurisdiction), its own exam vendor, and its own experience and continuing-education requirements. A handful of states, including Texas, license electrical work at the state level through their trade licensing agency rather than a dedicated electrical board. Always confirm the current code edition, exam vendor, question count, and passing score with your own state board or testing vendor before you schedule — Contractor Pathway is an independent exam-prep provider and is not affiliated with any state board or testing vendor.

What every electrical course includes

Each course below includes a comprehensive study guide (code-section breakdowns, worked calculations, common exam traps, a glossary, and a 30/60/90-day study plan) plus four full-length practice exams matched to the topic weighting of that state’s actual test, with a detailed answer explanation for every question.

Choose your state and license level

Courses are grouped below by state. If your state licenses more than one electrical tier (for example, Journeyman and Master), choose the exam you’re actually sitting for.

Electrical licensing — frequently asked questions

Do all states use the same electrical code?

Most states base their electrical exam on the National Electrical Code (NEC), but the adopted edition (for example 2020, 2023, or the 2026 cycle now rolling out) varies by state and effective date, and some jurisdictions add local amendments. Confirm the exact edition your state is testing before you study — our guides state the edition each course is built against.

What’s the difference between Journeyman and Master Electrician?

A Journeyman license generally lets you perform electrical work under your own supervision after completing an apprenticeship; a Master license (required in most states to hold a contractor’s license or supervise other electricians) typically requires additional years of licensed journeyman experience plus a separate, harder exam. Requirements and titles vary by state — some states use different terms, such as “Electrical Contractor” or “Supervising Electrician.”

Are electrical exams open book?

In most states, yes — you’re typically allowed a clean, tabbed copy of the adopted electrical code during the exam. That’s why our guides teach you exactly what to tab and how to find a section quickly, since speed at locating the right code section is often the difference between passing and re-testing.

How long should I study?

Most candidates do well on a 30-, 60-, or 90-day plan depending on their experience — which is why we offer access at all three terms ($99 / $129 / $169). Each guide includes a day-by-day study plan for whichever term you choose.

I don’t see my state listed — what should I do?
