Q: "What
makes Bobo Technology's workshops more effective than other test prep
courses?”
|
A: There are two
major distinctions: - Larry teaches the material, instead
of just giving you questions and answers for you to review on
your own. The
workshops are held in a casual classroom setting, allowing for
questions and answers, and the material is presented in a way
that is easy to follow and understand.
- Each student
receives, and keeps, the 362-page workbook, which Larry wrote
for this course. The workbook contains approximately 80 hours of
home study material, 900 Code questions and answers and 600
practice calculation questions and answers.

Q: “Where can I access The Colorado State Electrical
Board’s FAQ's regarding electrical licensing?” |
A:
http://www.dora.state.co.us/electrical/faqs.htm
|
|
Q: “How
long should I wait, after taking the workshop, to take my exam?” |
A: The
workshop is 16 hours of concentrated study of the National
Electrical Code and related calculations. Included in your
workbook, are about 80 hours of home study material, with
questions and answers. Every student has unique needs,
depending on their prior electrical training as well as the
difficulty of the exam they are preparing for. Larry recommends
that students wait at least a week before testing, longer if
possible. The workbook is divided into subject matter, easily
allowing you to pinpoint your weak areas and concentrate your
studies. The more time you allow, the more comfortable you will
become with the material

|
Q: “What is the difference
between the Master Electrician and the Journeyman exams?” |
|
A:
The Journeyman and Master exam can have a lot of the same
questions, however, the
Master Electrician exam will generally have a higher percentage of calculation
questions as opposed to Code questions. Calculation
questions are more time consuming and can eat up the clock.
|
|
Q: “Does this exam prep course
provide adequate training for exams in other states?” |
|
A: The course instruction, as
well as the workbook, is a comprehensive study of the National
Electrical Code and related electrical calculations. Colorado’s
electrical exams are some of the more difficult in the nation.
Preparation for these exams will ensure that you are qualified
for less difficult exams. However, you
should research the particular state you are preparing for, to make
sure there are not practical, legal, or local requirements that
you
may be tested on beyond the scope of the NEC that the Colorado
exams are limited to.
|
|
Q: “Do you cover 2011 NEC
changes in the workshop and can this course be used as a Code
update class?” |
|
A: Absolutely. Many students,
who have taken the course to prepare them for an exam, return
every Code change. Changes in the 2008 NEC that impact field
installations are included in the workbook, as well as being
covered as part of the test prep material.
|
|
Q: “Are there any prerequisites
for attending the workshop?” |
|
There are no
prerequisites; we start with the basics and take you step by
step through complex service calculations. A great course for
the beginner or experienced electrician.
|
|
Q: “Does Colorado reciprocate
electrical licenses with any other states?” |
|
A: Colorado currently
has reciprocal licensing agreements, for Journeyman licenses
only, with 12 other states. They are: Alaska, Arkansas,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. For
