Earning A Master Electrician Certificate

Tips on Passing the Master Electrician Exam

It’s tough being an electrician. It’s not as simple as fixing broken appliances and connecting wires. Electricians have to follow a Code and pass several tests in order to get a license. They have to perform competent work to guarantee the public’s safety and health. Licenses are there to help guard the public by preventing untrained and inexperienced people from performing the job.

The electrician’s license is a legal and formal document. It has to be renewed regularly, and inappropriate use can cause automatic termination of the license. Licenses of electricians who perform illegal or immoral jobs can be suspended or revoked by the government. In order to get this certification, you have to comply with requirements, which usually vary from one state to another.

Normally, you have to have work experience before taking a test. You should have a specified number of hours experience working in conformity with the law under a master electrician who will sign an affidavit stating that you are qualified. Once the state licensing board verifies your credentials, you are then scheduled to take the exam.

The exam is tough, especially if you don’t get ready for it. You will be tested on the NEC or National Electrical Code, any local electric construction codes and your knowledge of electrical theory. Written exams are open-book so you will be permitted to bring your copy of the most recent NEC and maybe other books such as the NEC Handbook, American Electrician’s Handbook, Ferm’s Fast Finder and others.

Of course, bring whatever is allowed. If your state permits you to carry a set of index tabs attached to your Code book, then do so. Tabs are a great timesaver. Also, you may bring with you a calculator, pencils, scratch paper, and similar test items. Just see to it that your calculator does not solve problems based on the NEC since those highly programmed electronic calculators that can do this are usually not allowed. Stick to using simple calculators.

Be prepared to do a lot of studying. In a year, study time of 15 hours a week is recommended. If you already have a journeyman’s license, then perform your work everything up to Code. For example, check out Article 358 and follow all Code requirements when running EMT. You will easily remember the answers to questions if you have already encountered and practiced it in your work.

Don’t make an effort of memorizing the Code. It’s unnecessary and just about downright impossible for others. What you can do is learn the structure of the Code so that you can look up anything immediately. It is helpful to memorize chapter headings and be skilled in using the Table of Contents and Index. So when you take the exam, you can find the answers to some questions almost instantly, and thus save time for the more difficult questions.

Memorizing the internal structures of some articles will also help. Include articles 240 Overcurrent Protection, 250 Grounding and Bonding, and 430 Motors, Motor Circuits and Controllers in your study. Make an extra effort to thoroughly know the Code’s structure. Because you are familiar with the Code’s structure, you can easily pinpoint the location of answers and save time. This will surely help you pass the electrician exam.
