01 / Available now
Built for future electricians by current electricians.
An electrical apprentice training and test-preparation platform designed to build real understanding through code-book navigation, calculations, randomized practice, missed-question review, and exam-style study.
Progressive electrical training organized around practical understanding, code navigation, calculations, and test preparation.
Quizzes and practice sets vary so learners build knowledge instead of memorizing a fixed question pattern.
Missed questions are paired with explanations and guidance on where and how to find the supporting information again.
Quick sessions, timed quizzes, memory quizzes, flashcards, notes, calculator tools, and full practice exams.
Electrical Apprentice Pro access is designed to stay with the learner's TRADECAIRN account across supported web and future mobile experiences.
Full Access is intended to include future Electrical Apprentice Pro updates without requiring a second purchase for the same product.
Explore Electrical Apprentice Pro, then review the exact books and NEC editions supported by the platform before you set up your exam profile.
Electrical Apprentice Pro is private training and test preparation. It does not replace required apprenticeship schooling, on-the-job training hours, licensing eligibility, or an authority's examination requirements.
02 / Field toolkit in development
Built by Electricians. For Electricians.
A field-focused electrical toolkit being designed to keep technical tools, practical references, and project information close at hand—with less typing and fewer unnecessary steps.
Planned tools for conductor selection, voltage drop, raceway fill, grounding, and other everyday field calculations.
Planned breaker, panel, accessory, and connector lookups with model-specific verification requirements.
Practical layout tools, including planned EMT bending workflows keyed to the selected bender or shoe.
Preliminary technical planning tools for solar, batteries, generators, and hybrid systems.
Saved project context, calculation notes, preliminary material lists, and shareable results are in scope.
Designed to show relevant code editions, manufacturer sources, and clear verification or unavailable states.
Features shown describe the development plan, not a released product or a claim of code compliance. Final functionality depends on validated sources, applicable code editions, jurisdiction, manufacturer information, and qualified review.
03 / Looking ahead
We're also planning a dedicated Small Business Field Management app. It will focus on the people, schedules, jobs, parts, and paperwork behind daily operations—separate from Electrical Field Pro's technical field tools.
Product name, features, availability, and release timeline have not been finalized.
How we think about software
Trade software should fit the task at hand, not force the task to fit the software. These priorities guide how TRADECAIRN products are being designed.
Prefer familiar jobsite inputs, clear dropdowns, and sensible workflows over excessive forms.
Make source information, assumptions, and verification requirements visible rather than hiding them behind a result.
Build readable screens, large touch targets, and tools that connect naturally to the same project.
Free electrical exam-prep resources
TRADECAIRN publishes original study guides for apprentice exam planning, NEC navigation, electrical math, practice-test strategy, and test-day preparation.
Organize study around knowledge, Code navigation, calculations, pacing, and mistake review.
Read the guide →Practice a repeatable lookup path from question wording to Article, section, and verification.
Practice navigation →Use practice tests deliberately and arrive with references, logistics, and pacing already planned.
Practice-test strategy →State requirements by region
State licensing paths, adopted code editions, experience requirements, and exam rules can differ. TRADECAIRN is building source-backed state guides one jurisdiction at a time.
Review licensing timing, OJT and classroom hours, supervision, the current NEC edition, and the path toward journeyman eligibility.
