Texas Electricians- The End is Near- How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle

How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle

If you haven't heard that the end of the 2011 NEC Exams is coming up, then you've been living under a rock or working way too hard.

That's right guys, if you have applied to take your exam but have not yet passed or even taken the exam, you have a deadline.  As of September 1, 2014, the TDLR will only accept and recognize the 2014 version of the National Electrical Code® on the field and in the testing site.  The exam will be based on the 2014 version of the book, you will still be allowed to bring in your 2011 but we do not recommend that.  If you already have your 2014, you must have already noticed that there a great deal of updates on the code.  Your first clue should be the number of pages, the book has gotten BIGGER!

We have the last few seminars already lined up, there is limited seating and I strongly recommend that you reserve a seat.  Alternatively, if you don't have time for a seminar and can study well on your own, I suggest you take a look at our tabbed and highlighted books and other exam prep materials we have specifically for the Texas PSI exam.

It is very important that you do not wait until the last minute,  I don't mean to burst your bubble but most guys don't pass the first time without the proper help or study plan.

We are open for questions, comments and requests.  

Good Luck everyone!
