When does YOUR local open applications?

We track application windows for 261 IBEW locals — some cap out in days. Find yours and get alerted the moment it opens.

By tapping "Alert Me When It Opens," I agree Sparky AI and its training-program partners may call and text me at this number, including by autodialer or recorded/AI voice, about apprenticeship training and application-window alerts. Consent isn't required to get email alerts. Msg/data rates apply — reply STOP to opt out.

You’ll get an email when your local opens applications, plus occasional test-prep emails — unsubscribe anytime with one click. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

03Why this app exists

Michael on the job in arc flash PPE

I’m an IBEW Local 134 journeyman and licensed electrical contractor. I teach federal pre-apprenticeship on the south side of Chicago — I’ve helped hundreds of students get into the IBEW.

I built Sparky AI to put everything I teach my students — accurate NEC answers, real IBEW exam prep, and the tools of the trade — into one app any electrician or apprentice can carry on the job. Every answer cites the actual code article, so you can trust it.

07FAQ

Common Questions

Yes — built specifically for the IBEW inside wireman aptitude test and interview. Covers algebra, functions, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, and spatial reasoning. If your local includes mechanical and spatial sections, they're in here.

A lot of the best applicants fail the first time — your history doesn’t disqualify you. Use the time before your retake to find where you’re losing points: full-length timed tests in the app show your weakest section, and drill mode works it until it clicks.

Most prep is a PDF and a prayer. Sparky AI was built by an IBEW Local 134 journeyman who teaches a pre-apprenticeship program, so the questions follow the real NJATC/ETA and GAN formats. It also covers the part most prep skips: an AI mock interview that scores you the way the panel does.

Not for the free practice test or the guides on this site. For daily practice, the app has 2,100+ questions, 30 full-length timed tests and the AI mock interview, with a free 7-day trial.

15 worked NJATC math problems emailed to you free — every math format the test uses, with full solutions. Start there, then keep drilling your weak spots in the app.
