Register as an electrician trainee

To qualify as an electrician trainee

  1. Enroll in a state recognized school
  2. Work directly supervised by a certified electrician. The supervisor may only have one electrician trainee under his/her supervision.

When can I take the test to be certified?

When you have accumulated 4,000 hrs of on-the-job-experience and have completed 480 hours of related and supplemental instruction.

When you pass the exam you may work as an electrician

If you have completed 4,000 of on-the-job-experience before you complete the 480 hours of related and supplemental training, and are still enrolled in a qualified school, you may sit for the exam. When you pass the exam you may work as an electrician for a contractor licensed as a Class C-10 contractor and you do not need to complete the 480 hours of instruction.
