California Electrician Certification and Exam Prep, in One Place

California certifies individual electricians rather than licensing them as journeymen. The certification sits with the Electrician Certification Unit and the contractor license sits with a different board. Every page here says which rule it read.

30 practice questions, free

They work with no account and no network. The full bank is 500, and the other 470 carry what every question here carries: the arithmetic worked out, and a line on each wrong option naming the error that produces it.

$79 once for the other 470, if you want them. One payment, no subscription, no account, no password, and no email address on file with us. Access does not expire and there is nothing to renew: every question added to the bank later is yours at no extra cost.

Buying for a crew, a shop or a class? One payment covers everybody. Each person claims a seat with their own email, on any device, and there is nothing for you to hand out or keep track of. The seat licenses sit under the buy button on the practice test page.

What people come here for

Every page below is on this site, and every figure on it carries the board page, the rule or the bulletin it came from.

The path

The licenses

Rules and money

The exam

The code

Study

Your city

What a person in each of these eight cities does to get licensed, the training programs there, the nearest test center and the local wage.

Hands-on labs

In a lab you drag the conductor, turn the dial or drop conductors into a box, and the page answers with the number it just changed and the code section behind it. All four are free and none of them asks for an account.

How it works

  1. Sit thirty questions against the clock. The practice test is timed and scored by content area. Thirty questions are free, they run with no account and no network, and every miss comes back with the arithmetic worked out and the section named.
  2. Work the area you lost. The score report names the area you are weakest in. Practice questions by topic holds 54 topics with 25 questions each, free.
  3. Open the bank when the free set runs out. $79 once opens the other 470 questions and the seven remaining rungs of the calculation ladder. One payment, no subscription, no account, and no email address on file with us.
Put it to the test

Thirty free questions, timed, with the working shown
