FastTrax® Electrical Exam Prep Program

Our Founders Philosophy for Electrical Exam Preparation 

Study with Purpose and a Proven Plan.


If your intended study plan is simply flipping through the NEC®, watching some DVDs that are not geared to teaching the NEC® but rather giving an author's opinion on the NEC® then you will struggle. You have to pick a Study Plan that is geared to success. You have to study with a purpose and study in chronological order with how the NEC flows to have the best chance at that success. 


Watching videos without actually doing practice exams and competency reviews will leave you stranded when the stress happens during an actual exam. This is why we created the NEC® Learning System called Fast Trax™.


Electrical Code Academy, Inc. has built a program called the "Fast Trax™". This program is unique because it directly links you to one of the leading electrical professionals in the industry, Paul Abernathy, who happens to sit on the National Electrical Code Making Panels 5 and 17, as well as provides a detailed step by step plan for your complete success. Getting that license has to be a mission, a passion, and a focus and the Fast Trax™ program can give you the best chance at all of those key directives.


Passing an electrical exam takes patience and dedication. The National Electrical Code® is a complex document of safety rules that are designed to protect persons and property from the hazards that arise with the use of electricity. Knowing the National Electrical Code® is critical to your success even after you pass your exam. We only get paid to do an installation one time so making sure it is done correctly and safely is critical to the electrician's long-term success.
