The biggest requirement is that you need to take the required electrical inspectors class(s) before you can take the test. There is one class for residential and one for commercial /industrial. They're usually given at your local community college. You'll need to take the residential class first and then the other one. Each class is one college semester. The local community college around here only offers the residential class in the fall and the other class in the spring, so if you're looking to take the test soon you'll need to plan accordingly.
