Many guys call the office with the same exact complaint. " I just applied for the electrical license and I have to take the exam but I don't know where to start". Sound familiar?

That's how this company got started... we didn't know where to start either. We asked co workers, we asked bosses, we asked electrical supply stores and everywhere else we could think off.
