Illinois electrician exam prep
Illinois has no state electrician license; electricians are licensed by their city or village. Chicago licenses supervising electricians through its Department of Buildings, and every licensed electrical contractor must employ one. Continental Testing Services gives the exams on paper about three times a year, open book on the 2018 Chicago Electrical Code (the 2017 NEC with Chicago’s amendments). Many suburbs accept the Chicago exam, and Springfield uses the ICC Master Electrician (G16) exam.
