FAQ

What can I bring to the exam?

What materials are allowed?

The Master Electrician Examination is an open book examination. You are permitted to bring only the following to the examination (Pre-Master Electrician Exam course workbooks are not permitted):

  1. Latest version of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC). If you purchased an electronic version, you may print it, provided it includes your personal watermark, which displays your name and email. 
  2. Relevant Legislation that consists of Acts, Bills and Regulations that relate to electrical contracting and the exam (non-electronic versions), such as:
  3. Calculator (must be non-programmable)
  4. Pencil with eraser.

Can I make notes in my Code book?

You can make notes in the Code book if they expand on concepts or words that might be unclear. You may not add notes that aren’t relevant to the material covered in the Code book.

Reviewers will check the material you bring into an exam before you enter and leave to check for unapproved notes.

Are electronic versions of the Code permitted?

Only hard copy materials are permitted into the exam.

Although not necessary, OESC Bulletins are permitted to be brought and used for the ME exam.
