NFPA Certified Electrical Safety Technician (CEST) Practice Exams

About this course

About the CEST Exam The Certified Electrical Safety Technician (CEST) exam is a computer-based, open-book certification administered by NFPA that validates knowledge of electrical safety principles based on NFPA 70E. The 3-hour exam consists of 110 multiple-choice questions (100 scored) and is designed for skilled workers such as HVAC technicians, solar installers, and facilities maintenance personnel who regularly work on or around electrical equipment.

Practice Exam Options Our practice exam module offers both chapter-specific tests focusing on individual NFPA 70E articles and a comprehensive 100-question final exam that mirrors the scope of the actual CEST certification. Each practice question includes specific article references to help you efficiently locate information in your NFPA 70E handbook, building the open-book test-taking skills essential for exam success while reinforcing critical electrical safety concepts across all major areas of the standard.
