Dakota Prep’s AI Tutor is now live in Red Seal Electrical Exam Prep—built to help Canadian journeypeople, apprentices, and contractors prepare for the Red Seal CoQ Electrical licensing exams.

Earlier this year, we launched our AI Tutor in the U.S. for NEC exam prep. The response was incredible—students finally had a way to tackle calculation problems step by step with guided help, not just static practice questions.

Now, we’re bringing the same breakthrough to Canada.

Why we built it

If you’re preparing for your electrical licensing exam, you already know where most people struggle: calculation questions. They’re time-consuming, complex, and one small mistake can blow up your entire answer.

That’s exactly why we built the AI Tutor—to walk you through these questions step by step, help you understand the logic, and actually retain what you’re doing. It’s designed to work like an instructor sitting next to you—except it’s available 24/7.

We’ve already helped thousands of electricians across Canada and the U.S. get licensed, but one piece of feedback kept coming up: students want more support on calculations. And now, they’ve got it.

Focus on the topics that matter most

When you launch the AI Tutor, you choose the exact topic you want to work on. No random quizzes. No generic material. Just the Red Seal and CEC topics that show up again and again on exam day.

Here’s what it can help you with:

  • Service & feeder sizing – Walk through main service and feeder calculations.
  • Neutral conductors – Learn when and how to size neutrals.
  • Heating & A/C – Apply the right demand factors to HVAC loads.
  • Range demand – Tackle multiple cooking appliances with confidence.
  • Grounding & bonding – Size equipment grounding conductors and grounding electrode conductors correctly.
  • Transformer sizing & protection – Get clear on primary and secondary protection rules.
  • Conductor sizing – Apply ampacity tables and temperature corrections.
  • Conduit & box fill – Step through fill calculations with the right allowances.
  • Voltage drop – Understand how to calculate and apply limits.
  • Motor protection – Work through overloads, overcurrent, and disconnect requirements.
  • Refrigerant compressors – Size conductors and overcurrent protection for these circuits.

And more.

Learn the way that works for you

Not everyone learns the same way—and that’s the point. With the AI Tutor, you control how much help you get and how fast things move. You can:

  • Change difficulty on the fly – If a question’s too easy or too hard, just say so.
  • Adjust how much help you get – Try on your own, get a hint, or walk through step by step.
  • Ask why an answer is right – Understanding the why is what helps you retain it.
  • Learn from mistakes – Get something wrong? The AI will catch it and walk you through the correction.

This is what makes the AI Tutor different from anything else—it adapts to you.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

We hear this question all the time. But here’s the truth—mainstream AI tools get CEC questions wrong. A lot.

In our tests, ChatGPT missed more than 60% of Canadian Electrical Code questions. That’s not just frustrating—it’s a fast track to failing your exam.

Dakota Prep is different. Our AI Tutor is built specifically for trades exams. We’ve logged over a million answered questions in our app, worked with thousands of students, and had licensed Canadian electricians review and refine everything.

This isn’t a generic AI—it’s purpose-built for the Red Seal, CoQ and CEC, exactly how they’re tested on the exam.

The bottom line

If you’re aiming to pass your Red Seal Electrical exam, this is the tool built to get you there.

Welcome to the new way to prep in Canada.
