Common questions before you order
Is the C-2 exam closed book? No. PSI lists the C-2 as open book with the 2017 NEC or the 2017 NEC Handbook.
Does this fit a Las Vegas or Reno electrician card? This package is built for the state C-2 exam. Card exams are separate ICC exams, explained in the Nevada license guide.
Can an out-of-state license skip the trade exam? Sometimes. NSCB can waive the C-2 trade exam through licensure by endorsement. See Nevada reciprocity.

I have been attending JCR Productions now for 30+ years. Victor Ring and Jeff Rodriguez have instructed me from my apprenticeship days to passing my unlimited license exam. They have been a huge part of helping me to gain the knowledge I need to be successful in the electrical field. They make it fun as well. I have recommend JCR Productions for exam prep and CE courses to hundreds of people over the last 30+ years. I would not go anywhere else!

I have been going to JCR for my North Carolina license continuing education since 2001 and this class has always kept me on top of the code changes and a refresher of all the material in the code book. I have gone to other continuing education classes for licenses in other states and JCR has always been my favorite.
