Questions
Is this the same as a live workshop?
It uses the same core materials: manual, videos, practice questions, mock exam and tabs. The two-day live workshops add classroom instruction and direct instructor support.
Which code book edition do I need?
This bundle teaches the 2020 NEC. Use the edition named in your current candidate bulletin, and check its rules on references, tabs and highlighting before test day.
What books can I bring into the NC exam?
If you're testing in North Carolina, the Limited, Intermediate and Unlimited exams are open book. Bring your own 2020 NEC, 2013 NFPA 72 and NASCLA Contractors Guide, North Carolina Electrical 14th edition. These are the only references allowed (PSI candidate handbook).
