“Code Made Simple” background
Our late founder, Jeff Rodriquez, was known for his strong foundation in the National Electrical Code. He was able to develop this “Code Made Simple” learning environment with his 30 years of insight and applicability in the code. Continuing on in his legacy, Victor Ring offers code instruction using the same “Code Made Simple” method. Our two-full-day Exam Preparation Workshop is known throughout the state of North Carolina as being the most effective way to pass the exam with a 93% pass rate for JCR classroom students!

Study manual
Electrical Exam Preparation Manual & Instructional Guide: We created this to help walk you through your studies step-by-step. Our Study Plan lays out your studies over 6–8 weeks, about an hour a night. The intention is for you to study prior to coming through the workshop and use the class time to reinforce concepts, answer questions, and fill-in any gaps of knowledge before you test.
Video lessons
Online Video Libraries: Our video libraries are meant to be used with your Manual and Study Plan. As you read over each concept you will be given the opportunity to strengthen your knowledge on the topic with video examples. We know that with a variety of learning styles, we must create a variety of teaching methods!
Mock exam
Mock Exam: 500+ practice questions in the state exam format. Become familiar with the formatting of questions on your Electrical State Exam and know where you stand before you attempt your exam.
Permanent tabs
NEC and NFPA Permanent Book Tabs: The North Carolina Electrical Board has voted to allow candidates to bring their own reference materials for use during examinations. JCR Productions would like to help you with taking advantage of that fact! We have formatted tabs in-house for you to label your reference materials. This grouping of permanently affixable tabs cover all articles in Chapters 1 – 4 of the NEC and all major articles and sections in the NFPA-72.
Students testing for the North Carolina license are currently testing on the 2020 NEC®, however, we offer material which is relevant for 2017 code based exams offered in other states. Let us know your specific requirements when ordering your materials.
