Washington 01-General electrical exam prep self-study
Build the NEC speed and calculation skills behind Washington’s 01-General Electrician, Administrator, and Master exams.
Prepare the national Code/theory sections with JCR, then add the current Washington RCW and WAC references.
This self-study system turns the same core NEC curriculum used in JCR’s instructor-led classes into a structured plan you can complete from anywhere. JCR has trained 20,000+ electricians since 1985. 93% pass rate for JCR classroom students.


Organize heavily tested NEC articles, tables, and sections so you can find them faster while studying. Apply the tabs only as permitted by the current testing-vendor rules.
The printed manual and videos build the Code navigation, theory, calculations, and major-load skills used across Washington’s national-Code exam sections.
You’ll also need your own 2020 NEC and any other references listed for your exam. Add the 2020 NEC from JCR.
Washington’s adopted installation code and its licensing-exam edition may differ. The current PSI bulletin lists the 2020 NEC for these exams; confirm it before scheduling. Also study the official Washington code references: RCW 19.28 and WAC 296-46B.
