Mississippi electrician exam prep
Mississippi licenses electrical contractors, not journeymen. The State Board of Contractors issues the commercial Electrical classification (for jobs of $50,000 or more) and the Residential Electrical classification, and each company’s qualifying party passes PSI’s trade exam, open book on the 2020 NEC with 70% to pass, plus a separate Law and Business Management exam. The NASCLA Electrical Contractor exam is accepted instead of the Master Electrician exam. Individual electrician cards are issued by cities and counties.
