Why This App Exists
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.

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. That’s exactly what 1-on-1 coaching is for: we find where you’re losing points (test, application, or interview) and fix it before your retake.
Most prep is a PDF and a prayer. Here you work directly with someone who's been inside the JATC — 1-on-1 tutoring, application and resume help, and live interview prep from an IBEW Local 134 journeyman. Knowing how ranking works changes how you prepare for everything.
No. Coaching is independent — the app is a separate free download used by 1,000+ IBEW test-takers for daily practice. Most students use both: drill in the app daily, then bring your weak spots to a session.
15 worked NJATC math problems emailed to you free — every math format the test uses, with full solutions. Start there, then book 1-on-1 time if you want eyes on your specific weak spots.
Checkout takes two minutes. Within 24 hours Michael emails you personally to schedule a time that works — video call, screen share, whatever the work needs. Rescheduling is free.
