For schools and employers
Seats for a class or a crew, and a free account for the instructor. Every trainee gets their own login and their own progress — nothing is shared, and nobody is looking over anybody's shoulder.

Every registered trainee is enrolled at an approved school, because state law requires it. Which means the people sitting this exam are already in front of an instructor — and about half of them are not passing it first time.
How seats work
- You buy a number of seats and get one code. $40 a seat, minimum 2. Paid through Stripe; we never see a card number.
- You hand the code out however suits you. An email, a handout, written on a whiteboard. The codes avoid characters that get misread — no O, 0, I, 1, L or U.
- Each person redeems it on their own account, either when they sign up or later on their billing page. They get 90 days of full access with their own progress.
- A seat is only spent when somebody actually redeems it, and the code does not expire. Unused seats keep for the next intake.
What an instructor can see: nothing, yet
Being honest about this up front, because it is the first thing anyone asks. There is no instructor dashboard. You cannot see who has redeemed a seat, how far anybody has got, or how anybody scored. What you can see is how many of your seats have been claimed, on your own billing page.
That is partly a decision and partly a roadmap. A trainee's study record is theirs, and a tool that reports it to their employer is a different product with different incentives. If cohort-level reporting — aggregate, anonymous, no individual records — would make this useful to you, say so and it will be built with that boundary in it.
A free account for instructors
If you teach this exam, email and you get a full account at no charge — all 745 cards, the 400-question bank, the code map and the plan. No seat purchase required and no obligation to recommend anything. Evaluating material you might put in front of a class, on a copy that is not a trial, is the reasonable thing to want.
What your trainees would be using
- 745 flashcards Five decks weighted to the official content outline, on a Leitner schedule that brings back exactly what a trainee keeps missing.
- 400-question bank Every attempt draws a fresh 100 at the real weighting, under the real 270-minute clock, marked by content area.
- Lookup practice The exam is open book at 2:42 a question, so it measures how fast someone finds a rule. That is what the navigation deck and the code map are built to train.
- The 2023 NEC Written against the edition the exam supplies, not the 2025 California code that governs field work. Article numbers moved between them.

I built Electrician Cards after watching a friend prepare for this exam and discovering how much of the published advice is written for a closed-book test. I am not an electrician — everything here is researched from the candidate bulletin, the 2023 NEC's own structure, and the official content outline, and it is checked against them again whenever it changes. Always verify against the code book itself.
