Tennessee Exam FAQs
Which testing vendor should I use?
The current Tennessee bulletin places both the LLE and CE trade exams with Prov. Use the current Prov registration and scheduling instructions for new appointments.
Where is the Tennessee LLE accepted?
The LLE covers projects under $25,000 only where the local authority accepts it. Some cities and counties use local licensing, so confirm with the Tennessee Board and your local codes office before registering.

What NEC edition does Memphis/Shelby County use?
Memphis/Shelby County follows a separate local licensing path using ICC T16 Master and T17 Journeyman exams based on the 2020 NEC—not Tennessee’s 2017 NEC track. Use JCR’s Memphis/Shelby 2020 NEC exam prep.
What materials can I use during a Prov exam?
Prov permits permanent tabs, highlighting, and underlining. Removable tabs, notes, loose papers, and writing during the exam are prohibited. Use the current bulletin for the approved reference list.
