The minimum is 2 seats. You can add more anytime, and reduce down to 2 at your next renewal.

Each seat gives one electrician access to the full certification library, practice exams, and a certificate of completion. You assign courses and tracks to your team from the admin dashboard.

Yes. Add seats anytime (charged a prorated amount immediately) and remove seats at your next renewal. Removing a tech frees their seat right away and keeps their progress for when they return.

No — an account is billed either monthly or yearly, with one renewal date. You can switch the whole account between monthly and yearly anytime from your dashboard.

Yes. The admin dashboard shows your roster, progress, exam grades, a private team leaderboard, and lets you assign training and send reminders.

Our platform is designed to broaden the knowledge and skills of electricians; aiming to educate them in a wide variety of areas to make them more well-rounded. Here's a breakdown of each pillar and its importance:

• Wiring: Essential for understanding how to wire various environments like residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.
• Installation: Covers the installation of various devices and equipment like breakers, transformers, generators, UPS, and more.
• Troubleshooting: Solving problems in electrical circuits, such as why three way switching setups don't work, how to find why breakers are tripping, and more.
• Theory: Understanding electrical theory, from basic concepts like Ohm's Law to deeper concepts such as electromagnetic induction, capacitive reactance, and harmonics.
• Code: Dive into electrical code to understand what is being said and how to apply it in the field.

• Leadership: As electricians advance in their careers, leadership skills become important for managing teams and projects effectively.
• Other: We have many other videos including equipment such as transformers, generators, motors, UPS battery backup, solar, motor controls, PLCs, and more.

Each of these categories encompasses a critical aspect of electrical work, ensuring that electricians are well-rounded, skilled, and knowledgeable professionals capable of excelling in the industry.

We are working on options that will work with SCORM based LMSs. Please reach out to us at [email protected] or 888-227-5222 if you think this is a good option for you and we'll gladly answer any questions you have.

Absolutely, this is the whole point behind the system. From our library of content you can issue training to individual technicians, groups of technicians, certain license types, or all technicians in your company. Not only can you issue trainings, but you can see who's taken them, who's doing well or struggling, and further identify who your key players are.

Yes! We've built this system to be applicable for electrical contracting businesses of all sizes. As your company grows we offer discounted rates on seats as your company adds more technicians. For information on volume discounts contact us at [email protected] or 888-227-5222 to discuss your specific case.

The content is continuously updated to stay relevant with the latest advancements and regulatory guidelines in the electrical industry. We add new videos every month so the library will continue to grow over time. We also update code content every 3 years when a new code cycle changes.

The library contains a vast array of content, including hundreds of video tutorials on various topics such as installation methods, troubleshooting, safety, code, theory, and more. Some examples are:

• What is electricity?
• AC Theory
• Series and Parallel Circuits
• Ohm's Law Calculations
• Conductor Sizing
• Conduit Fill
• Voltage Drop
• Box Fill
• Service Calculations
• How to Use a Multimeter
• Securing and Supporting NM Cable (Romex)
• Troubleshooting Receptacles
• How to Tell if a Breaker is Bad
• How to Install a Surge Protector
• How to Wire a Panel
• Where to Install AFCI, GFCI, and DF Breakers
• Grounding and Bonding at Services
• And much, much more

Both systems are similar, however the business version comes with the added benefit of having an admin panel who can add and remove users, issue training to specific users or all employees, and can monitor the progress of all of their technicians. Both versions come with Practice Exams for any of their techs who will be testing for their license. Both versions are points-based, where users accumulate "charge" as they complete objectives and both also have access to videos, articles, podcasts, and other content we add to the system.

Our system is designed with just that purpose. You can add or remove seats based on your staffing needs at any time. We're happy to jump on a call and walk you through this process if you'd prefer we handle it for you.

We are constantly looking for new content that is beneficial to the entire community. We're also willing to travel to you and film your crew working if there's anything unique you do which we feel matches the goals of the platform. Please reach out to us via email at [email protected] or fill out the form on our contact us page. Alternatively you may text us at 224-999-0949 or call us at 888-227-5222.

Business owners can use the company dashboard to monitor their employees' progress, identify areas of improvement, and make informed decisions regarding promotions, deficiencies, and pay raises. Specific training can also be issued to an employee, or all employees, and track progress through the dashboard.

Yes, we are always looking for ideas for new content. We want this platform to serve your needs, so we frequently ask for feedback from the community on what new videos they'd like to see. Just shoot us an email at [email protected], text us at 224-999-0949, or call us at 888-227-5222.

The "Individual" (Tech) version, priced at $25/month, offers a library of content for self-learning where users earn points and accumulate "charge" with each thing they complete. The "Business" version is $30/month and gives a business and all it's technicians access to the same system. The business version is priced per seat (per technician) and comes with an admin portal where staff can issue training and track the progress of their employee's learning. Both versions come with all of our practice exams, articles, videos, audio, and courses.

We offer courses recognized by numerous states however many states do not require electricians to take CE classes to keep their licenses. Please browse our list to check the availability for your specific state. If you do not see your state it means either we are still building a course for you, we're in the process of approval with your licensing board, or your state does not require you to take continuing education.

Electrician U's courses are designed by electricians, for electricians. We offer engaging video content that is both entertaining and informative, making your learning experience far from the traditional dry and monotonous courses you might have taken before. We believe in not just meeting licensing requirements, but also furthering your knowledge and skills in the process.

We understand that you're juggling work and family commitments with your continuing education. The majority of our courses are self-paced and available 24 hours a day. You may choose when you take them and how long you spend in a course. There is no limit on the number of times you may log in and out. Some states require Live Webinars that are at set days and times and this is noted in the course listing. All courses remain in your account for 1 year after you make a purchase.

In most cases, once you complete your course, we automatically submit your completion the next day. Some states do not have a process in place for us to submit directly and this will be noted in the course. Your certificate is also saved in your account and you receive a download link via email ensuring you have proof of your completed Continuing Education requirements.

Yes, Ohio does have some special rules that other states do not:

• A maximum of 1/2 of your hours (4 for yearly renewals and 12 for three-year renewals) may be taken in a self-paced online course. The remaining 1/2 of your hours must be taken in either a Live Online Webinar or Live Classroom setting.
• We are required to use facial recognition to guarantee that the license-holder is the one that is actually taking the education. This system randomly checks to make sure that the person taking the course matches the licensee signed up.
• If you are caught having someone else (wife, secretary, dog, etc.) the Board will revoke your license.

Yes, NEBRASKA does have some special rules that other states do not:

• We are required to use facial recognition to guarantee that the license-holder is the one taking the course. This system randomly checks to make sure that the person taking the course matches the licensee signed up.
• If you do not take your continuing education by the deadline Nebraska will make you take the state exam again to reinstate your license. There is no late continuing education allowed in Nebraska.

Our courses can be taken from any modern device with an updated web browser and an internet connection. Some state (OH & NE) courses require a webcam.

Although our courses have been tested on Chrome, Safari, Edge, FireFox and Brave we do highly recommend using either Chrome or FireFox. Please make sure that your browser is up-to-date. In some cases old browsers that have not been updated will not have the features necessary to run the continuing education.

Technically you could however we have never had anyone not pass one of our courses. In many courses you can answer a missed question again immediately. In other courses, due to state rules, you may have to take a quiz over from the beginning. You will always get another chance to pass your course.

We only share required information and course results with the state the course is approved for. All of your information remains confidential except for the state agency the course is approved for.

Yes, the learning system is designed for accessibility on various devices, including desktop computers, mobile phones, and tablets.

No, however this system is designed to be taken by people in the electrical field as it supports their field experience. If you're not an electrician or are not enrolled in an apprenticeship program you're welcome to join however you may find it difficult to understand materials and methods of wiring without actual hands-on experience.

The video lengths vary depending on what is being taught. However, most of our videos are around 5-25 minutes in length. There are some topics which are split up into several smaller videos which take anywhere up to an hour to complete. Our system saves your progress so if you ever need to stop watching, you'll be able to pick back up right where you left off.

We have several types of exams, based on license-types and code editions:

• 100-Question Residential Wireman Exam
• 100-Question Journeyman Electrician Exam
• 100-Question Master Electrician Exam
• 300-Question CODE CANNON

All 4 of these exams are online, multiple choice exams. When you buy one exam, it comes with the 3 most recent code-cycles (2017, 2020, and 2023). The 3 license exams come with timed versions and non-timed versions so you can practice without worrying about time, or you can turn up the heat and test yourself for exam day. The code cannon is non-timed, and is simply 300 random questions thrown at you, varying in difficulty, from the other 3 exams combined. The code cannon also comes with versions for the 3 most recent code-cycles (2017, 2020, and 2023).

One added bonus is that, no matter which version you purchase, all of the exams come with printable PDF versions that you can take with you on the go. So you can practice online, or on paper, with the code book in front of you.

Yes! A lot of our users prefer to not do these exams online, and would rather have pencil and paper and an open book when they practice. With every practice exam purchase, we give printable PDF versions of the exams so users can print them out if they need them.

When a practice exam is purchased it gives you two versions, a timed and a non-timed version. In addition you can print them out and do them at your leisure, and when you're ready you can take the timed version to practice for the big day.

Absolutely, we believe continuous practice and pouring through the code book over and over many times is what allows electricians to learn code effectively. Whether it's the online timed exam, the online non-timed exam, or the printed versions; we give you the flexibility to practice over and over as many times as you need so you're prepared on test day.

These are just the practice exams you can use to test your understanding of the book. They do give code references, calculations, and explanations when you get answers wrong; however, they're simply exams. We will be offering an entire exam prep course in 2025 if you'd like more instruction rather than just practice exams. We will announce when this course is available for purchase.

Yes, as it will be in real life, the Residential Exam covers mostly things residential electricians will come across. The Journeyman Exam adds many commercial topics, conditions, materials, and occupancies as well as more calculations. The Master Exam combines both but adds many more calculations and obscure code references which force the test-taker to really dig through the book.

Once you purchase a Practice Exam(s) you have 365 days of access to the content. You're free to come back at anytime, login, and re-watch any portion of it (or the entire thing) at any time you wish during that 365 day window.
