How do I obtain an electrical license in Tennessee?
To apply for your license, contact the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance at 615-741-2241. You can also visit their website.
Tennessee Electrical License Reciprocity: Tennessee has reciprocity agreements with Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia, and the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam.
NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam: Many state licensing agencies, including Tennessee, accept the NASCLA Electrical Exams. This gives you the option to just take one electrical exam instead of having to take each state's electrical exam. After passing the exam, you will only need to take the state's business and law exam and submit your application.
With RocketCert, our education is written by a combination of professional educators and industry experts. We guarantee our exam prep will help you pass the exam and back it with our no pass, no pay policy. We pride ourselves on providing industry leading customer service. Also, if you find a better original price on any online course that we offer, we will beat it by 10%.
Preparing to pass the State exam is a critical part of the licensing process. Failing the exam can result in substantial delays before you are able to work under your license. We offer industry leading exam prep and all of the required books, at an unbeatable price.
After studying with RocketCert, you will be on your way to passing the required State exam(s) (see below). Contact PSI at 800-733-9267 to begin this process. Testing centers are setup throughout the State in larger cities.
Next you will need to obtain all required insurance and contact a CPA or PA to prepare financial statements.
After completing all the steps above, it will be time to apply through Tennessee board of licensing contractors. Have questions or concerns with this process (or just a lack of time)? Our licensing specialists can help you with the process.
Which exam do I need to take?
All applicants must pass the state's Business & Law exam, but you may choose between two electrical exam options:
The state-specific exam OR the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Exam
The NASCLA Electrical Exam is Currently Accepted by 15 state licensing boards as a substitute for the state's trade exam. Visit our NASCLA Electrical Exam page for a full list of accepting agencies.

How do I pass the exam?
The Tennessee exams are open book. The references below are permitted to be tabbed, highlighted, and used during your test! Unfortunately, our online course is NOT permitted to be accessed during the State exam.

- Calculation Lessons - Here, we teach you math concepts and how to solve calculations on test day. Calculation topics include Ohm’s Law, voltage drop, transformers, motors, box fill, and allowable fill for raceway sizing.
- Highlighting Guides - Introduce the critical information in your book(s). This will familiarize you with each book’s content and its layout.
- Quizzes - These practice quizzes are based on each individual book/reference. They reinforce key concepts.
- Test Simulation / Practice Exam - Comprehensive exams randomly generated from our database of questions. Test simulations are restricted by time, and hints are disabled. Test simulations are as close to the real exam as you can get.
