| Preparing
for an NIULPE examination can be a grueling task. As the saying
goes; If it's worth having, it doesn't come easy. There are many
schools and trainers that will help you prepare for an NIULPE exam.
Several NAPE chapters offer preparation classes. Each instructor
will have recommended books that supplement their class. If you are
planning to attend a preparation class (recommended) be sure to use the
books as directed by the instructor
Power
engineering cannot be learned through books alone. With this in mind
the following is a list of books that may help in your preparation for an
NIULPE examination. These books are available thought the NAPE at:
