Joe,

Also in NJ you have to pass a written test which takes about 6 -8 hours to complete. ( At least that is what I heard.) When I took the test back in 1984 it was 4 hours. @-hours open book and 2 hrs -closed book. There are several parts to the test, NEC rules, Fire alarm rules, and NJ law. When I have to go every 3 years to renew my contractors lic. I need 10 hours of CU's and 1 of those hrs. are on NJ law. The State alwasy keeps chaning their rules so they want the contractors to keep up with the new rules and regs.
