Electrician licensing requirements vary by state. Most journeyman exams require 4 years (8,000 hours) of documented on-the-job training and a passing score on a written NEC-based exam. Some states also require a practical skills test.

NEC Edition by State

States adopt NEC editions on different schedules. Texas electrician examinations reference the 2026 NEC effective September 1, 2026; candidates in every state should verify the current board rule and examination bulletin before scheduling.
