Electrician's Exam
If you've been installing electrical systems as an apprentice, helper, or unlicensed electrician, you may want to consider becoming a licensed electrician. More and more states are requiring licensing for electricians, and to become licensed you usually have to pass an electrician's exam. You can find the requirements for your state at http://www.contractors-license.org Just click on the state to find the licensing requirements and the electrician's exam requirements, where to apply for the exam, and what study materials you'll need.
There is also an excellent book with over 1000 typical questions from electrician's exams. It covers questions on electrical systems, electrical calculations, branch circuits and feeders, electric services, distribution equipment, overcurrent protection, measuring and testing, electric motors and controls, transformers and capacitors, electrical drawings and more. It also contains an interactive CD-ROM that gives electrician's the questions for the exam on the computer. They claim that the book is guaranteed to help you pass the electrician's exam or you get your money back. Not a bad deal for $39.50.

Studying for an electrician's exam is never fun, but with the help of a book and an interactive CD asking the questions, it can become less of a chore and help to prepare you to pass the actual exam.

The advantages for using electrical estimating software are becoming too numerous to mention and the number of choices are becoming even greater.
There are a lot of companies selling electrical estimating software that in fact are only databases.
You just use a shopping cart method and place the material that you will be using on to a work sheet.
From this point it will figure the cost of that material and give you the man-hours to install that list of material.
While there is some merit to this process it isn’t what I think of when I am looking for an estimating tool.
The features I need are:
v Save time!
v Create auto assemblies by just installing quantities for Receptacles, Switches, Feeders, etc.
v Create material list.
v Eliminate math mistakes.
v Have the ability to divide labor into different classes.
v Choose the grounding conductors for me in my feeder runs.
v Create vendors quote sheets.
v Simple to learn!
v Affordable!
Now we have just eliminated ¾ the software on the market,
If affordability and simple to learn is on top on your list we have a choice for you.
