Electrical Exam Prep
There’s no better way to prepare for your electrical licensing exam than with this online course.  If you prefer to work offline, the course is also available on CD.  We have condensed two days of live instruction into an online presentation that concentrates solely on what you need to know to pass your exam.

The course
  • Is voice narrated from beginning to end and animated with illustrations to make the learning process easier
  • Includes interactive questions and exercises to reinforce your learning and help you retain the information
  • Provides an “on-screen Calculator” for performing the required calculations
  • Can be used with all newer versions of the NEC

Remember there is no substitution for a live exam prep. We offer live exam prep in many cities across the US. You can use the map to the left to see what is available in your area. If there is nothing close to you, don't worry we offer private classes where we can come to you and webinars. Call us for more details @ 800.992.1910

CourseDescription
Electrical Education
 (Master Collection)

This is a collection of all the Electrical Education presentations which include:

- Conductor Ampacity
- Motor Calculations
- Navigating the NEC
- Ohm’s Law
- Resistor Calculations
- Voltage Drop

Most electrical exams require you to perform complicated power questions. These calculations can be simple if you have a clear understanding of Ohm’s law. This interactive module teaches basic principles of math and techniques that will allow you to quickly recall formulas for performing the calculations from a systematic approach. Many questions are provided throughout the lesson to reinforce the learning. Although difficult calculations will be performed during this lesson, our unique program includes an on-screen calculator and a user supplied calculator is not necessary.


Conductor Ampacity

This lesson is designed to help the user determine the maximum allowable ampacity and overcurrent protection for electrical conductors.  This interactive course teaches how to determine the proper application of conductors as well as determining when and where a conductor may be used.  During this lesson, many practice questions will be given that will help to develop the skills necessary to pass your exam.  As well as conductor ampacity and overcurrent protection, maximum allowable conduit fill is also covered in this lesson.  A copy of the National Electrical Code will be needed to complete this portion of our study.  Although this study is based on the 2008 edition of the NEC, most earlier versions will be sufficient to answer these questions.  Although calculations will be performed during this lesson, our unique program includes an on-screen calculator and a user supplied calculator is not necessary.

This online course gives the purchaser 30-days access.


Motor Calculations

The purpose of this lesson is to explain the process of solving difficult motor calculations.  During the study, the user will participate in an interactive class that covers most types of questions found on exams relating to motors.  10% - 15% of the questions on most electrical exams relate to motors.  Don't let this topic cause you to fail your exam.  This disc features voice instruction, built-in calculator, and detailed graphics.

This online course gives the purchaser 30-days access.


Navigating the NEC

The objective of this lesson is based on the fact that mastering the skill of using the NEC is imperative for you to pass your exam.  You must be able to find answers to difficult questions quickly and efficiently.  Upon completion of this course you will have a clear understanding of how the code is organized and you will realize how tricky questions can be.  Sample questions are provided throughout the presentation.

This online course gives the purchaser 30-days access.


 


Ohm's LawThis lesson is designed to help the user remember and become proficient in complicated power formulas using Ohm's law.  This interactive course teaches methods that make remembering Ohm's law formulas easy and covers the basic principles of mathematics necessary to complete these calculations.  During this lesson, many practice questions will be given that will help to develop the skills necessary to pass your exam.  Topics covered include calculations of power, current, voltage and resistance.  A copy of the National Electrical Code will not be needed for this portion of the study.  Although difficult calculations will be performed during this lesson, our unique program includes an on-screen calculator and a user supplied calculator is not necessary.
Resistor Calculations

This lesson is designed to help the user learn and remember formulas for calculating total resistance of resistive circuits.  This interactive course teaches how to perform resistor calculations and also covers the basic principles of mathematics associated with these formulas.  During this lesson, many practice questions will be given that will help to develop the skills necessary to pass your exam.  Topics covered include series, parallel and combination circuits.  A copy of the National Electrical Code will be needed to complete some of the practice questions.  Although this study is based on the 2008 edition of the NEC, most earlier versions will be sufficient to answer these questions.  Although difficult calculations will be performed during this lesson, our unique program includes an on-screen calculator and a user supplied calculator is not necessary.

Load Calculations

Load calculations can be one of the most difficult portions of the electrical exam. The questions are time consuming and the NEC tables can be hard to understand. This lesson will help you understand where, why, and how to perform these calculations. Most students spend the majority of their study time before an exam on load calculations because of the variety and complexity of the types of questions. Let us help you understand and master calculations related to electric ranges, electric clothes dryers, lighting loads, receptacle loads, appliance loads and more.


Solar Conductor Ampacity

This lesson is designed to help the user determine the maximum allowable ampacity and overcurrent protection for electrical solar conductors. This interactive course teaches how to determine the proper application of solar conductors as well as determining when and where a soalr conductor may be used. During this lesson, many practice questions will be given that will help to develop the skills necessary to pass your exam. As well as solar conductor ampacity and overcurrent protection, maximum allowable conduit fill is also covered in this lesson. A copy of the National Electrical Code will be needed to complete this portion of our study. Although this study is based on the 2008 edition of the NEC, most earlier versions will be sufficient to answer these questions. Although calculations will be performed during this lesson, our unique program includes an on-screen calculator and a user supplied calculator is not necessary.


Wiring According to the 2008 NEC

This lesson covers all phases of residential wiring according to the National Electrical Code. Topics covered include branch circuit requirements, new AFCI and GFCI requirements, receptacle outlet spacing, new rules for receptacle outlets, feeders, services, and grounding. The 2008 National Electrical Code has undergone dramatic changes and staying current with these new rules is a must for electricians. Rejected inspections and repairs can be costly. This course highlights the significant changes made in the 2008 NEC and is designed to prevent mistakes commonly made by wiring according to earlier editions of the code.


Our instruction system is the easiest possible way to learn. If done online, your progress through the course is recorded in our servers, allowing you to work at your own pace. You may choose to work through the course a little at a time; when you return to http://www.examprep.org and enter your email address and password, you will be taken to the point in the course where you left off.
