Reference Materials for the Stationary Engineer Examinations - Stationary Engineers

The Board has received a number of inquiries regarding approved texts for the Grades 1-5 examinations. The reference materials listed under each examination in the Qualification Information Bulletin and Examination Application brochure were used in the formulation of specific questions on Board examinations. In addition, the examinations include topics of basic trade knowledge, general industry practices and codes. The reference materials listed in the brochure are the only materials approved by the Board. Although other materials may be helpful, the materials approved by the Board contain subject matter and examples used in the examinations. The use of other reference material in preparing for the examination may put the applicant at a disadvantage. Only approved references may be brought in to the examination room for use during the open book examinations. Please see the candidate brochure for all examination details and approved reference materials.
