NM· Initial licensing + reciprocity

How to get an electrical license in New Mexico.

The complete New Mexico licensing roadmap — experience hours, exam vendor + fees, application paperwork, and reciprocity options. Sourced directly from NM RLD CID (Construction Industries Division).

NM· Full exam-prep bundle

Everything New Mexico tests, one purchase, one passing date.

Most prep vendors sell one course. New Mexico requires the full stack. The TCS bundle covers it — built in-house from public sources, with the buddy-at-the-kitchen-table walkthrough you’d expect from a master electrician licensed in 20+ states.
