Nobody has to know
you didn't know.
Look it up here first. Get the answer with the NEC article on it, log the day's hours before you pull out of the lot, and walk on tomorrow already knowing what you're about to be handed.
Every Apprentice Knows This Pause
“He used a word you've never heard, handed you the tool, and walked off. You've got about two seconds to decide whether asking is worth looking stupid over.”
You're not stupid. You're new. There's a difference, and it goes away faster when there's somewhere private to find out.
No Signup. No Pitch. Just Answers.
Real questions.
The kind you'd rather not ask twice.
Every answer carries the NEC article number, so you can open your own codebook and check it. Looking it up is the skill your exam actually scores.
Sample answers are illustrative and paraphrased. Always check the article in the NEC edition your job and your program actually run on before you rely on it.
Got one you've been sitting on? Ask it. Nobody at your shop sees it.
Ask Your First QuestionYour hours are
the whole licence.
Thousands of on-the-job hours stand between you and a journeyman card, and the only proof you did them is a record somebody licensed signed. Keep it in your pocket instead of on a scrap of paper in the truck.
You can never approve your own hours — the database refuses it. That is what makes the export worth handing to a board.
- Log your OJT hours by category, on the truck, in about ten seconds
- Send your journeyman a sign-off link — they approve it without making an account
- Export every approved hour as a PDF your state board will accept
- All the field calculators — conduit fill, voltage drop, load, ampacity, wire size
- Look up an NEC article number to check in your own codebook
✓ Approved
Tue · Conduit & raceway · 8.0 hrs
Approved by your journeyman from a link. No account on their end, about twenty seconds.
⏳ Sent for sign-off
Wed · Service & grounding · 7.5 hrs
Waiting on approval. You can't approve it yourself, and the record says who did.

Ask it here first.
Ask it forty times.
In the attic, at the panel, in the van at lunch — type the question you didn't want to say out loud and get an answer with the article on it.
It has no opinion about you and no memory of you looking dumb. Nothing you ask is shown to a supervisor, an employer, or another user.
- Ask the thing everybody assumes you already know
- Ask the same question a fourth time
- Ask at nine at night, when the book is at the shop
Check your own work
before he walks over.
Photo the box, the panel, the rough you just finished. You get the things worth fixing with the article cited, while there's still time to fix them quietly.
And the night before, tell it what you're on tomorrow: the words you'll hear, the tools he'll ask for by nickname, the code in play, and what he might ask you.
- Flags the clamp or connector you walked past
- Counts what's in the box against the volume, with the article
- Points at the labelling and bonding somebody is going to check
- Says when it can't verify something instead of inventing it
⚠ Worth fixing
NEC 314.17(B) — Secure the cable
A cable is entering the box without a clamp. Cables get secured where they come into the box — add the connector before you make it up.
⚠ Worth fixing
NEC 314.16(B) — Box fill looks over
Count conductors, all the internal clamps together, and the device against the box volume. Look up your box in the table before you cram it.
⚡ Can't verify from a photo
Support within 12 in of the box
The staple may be out of frame. Check the support distance for your wiring method in your own codebook rather than taking this as a pass.
Example output — always check the article in your own codebook
What This Year Already Costs You
You already pay for this year.
This is the cheap part.
Books, code books and exam prep come out of your pocket before you have a licence to show for it. This doesn't replace any of it.
It's what you use the night before, when the book is at the shop and you don't want to text anybody at nine o'clock.
What It Does
Four things.
In the order you need them.
Find out what tomorrow needs, ask what you don't know, run the numbers, and keep the hours that prove you did it. Built around a four-year apprenticeship, not around a software company's idea of one.
The Difference
Same first year. Two different years.
Without it
Nodding at a word you've never heard and hoping it comes up again
Deciding not to ask, because you asked something yesterday
Hours on a scrap of paper, reconstructed from memory in March
Finding out what today is when you get there
With it
You looked the word up last night, so it lands the first time
You ask it here, as many times as it takes, and nobody knows
Hours logged by category in ten seconds and signed off from a link
You walk on knowing the tools, the words and the code in play
Pricing
Your hours are free.
Forever.
Logging hours, getting them signed off, and exporting them for your board costs nothing and always will. The paid plan is the other half of the job.
