I want to get an electrial license in California, and I'm preparing for the test, i want to know what books are the best for me to prepare for the exam. I'm am currently preparing myself with the pre exam test year 2005, is the prep test good enough for me to take the test and pass the Cali Certified? My friends aslo refer a book called Nec Code Book, but apparently he doens't know what year, I want to ask which year should I use.

You want an electrical license but don't know what the NEC is or what edition to use?

Isn't some kind of experience/training required just to be able to sit for the exam? I don't know of any jurisdiction where someone can just take an electrical licensing exam without first qualifiying for it.

Actually California's requirements are a mess right now.

You can work unlicensed as there is no licensing enforcement.

I was just referring to the official requirements. Whether they actually enforce the rules is a separate matter.

Particularly interesting is the California rule that if labor and materials is less than $500, then no license is required. Does this mean Handyman Stan can advertise $499 service upgrades?
