NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam Prep
An original pioneer of the construction licensing industry, the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) sets the standard by which contractors across the country are compared against. NASCLA Accredited Electrical exam is accepted by 13 state boards across the country. Many applicants choose to take this exam in lieu of the state trade examination, and for a multitude of reasons. The NASCLA exam is completely open book, which means every reference used to create the exam may be used during the exam. We teamed up with professionals in the industry, studied every reference, and even took a few exams ourselves to create the ultimate online exam prep course. We made highlighting guides to help you study, we made custom pre-printed tabs for each book, and have thousands of questions across every trade and each state to reinforce our online courses.
Keep a cool head on the day of the exam by using our exam simulator, which builds a custom practice exam each time with questions very similar to the ones you will see on the real thing. To accommodate those inevitable questions that require another educated human to help, you can send our support team a question online 24/7, and you can give us a call during weekday business hours. We can explain a concept, help with tricky tables, or clarify something that isn't quite "clicking". Pass the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam with RocketCert to Accelerate and Advance Your Career.
