How does the Journeyman Electrician exam work?

The Journeyman Electrician exam is a tradesman exam: one person is licensed, and a contracting firm in that trade also needs its own Board for Contractors license.

  • Tradesman licenses are issued by the Board for Contractors through its Tradesmen program, for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and gas fitting.
  • The board has to approve you before PSI lets you schedule. The exam fee is $100 for journeyman and $125 for master.
  • Pre-license education is required, and renewals need 3 hours of continuing education for electrical, plumbing and HVAC and 1 hour for gas fitting.
  • Residential plumbing and residential HVAC mechanic licenses, added on April 1, 2025, need less experience than a journeyman license.

Which Journeyman Electrician option should I choose?

The Pre-Printed Tabs at $39.99 is the lightest way into the Journeyman Electrician exam: pre-printed permanent tabs for the reference books, allowed in the exam room. Highlighted and Tabbed Books at $1,145 are the biggest time saver on an open-book test, because the references arrive ready for the exam room. The Online Exam Prep Course at $395 adds timed practice you can run on a phone between jobs. The Ultimate Rental Package at $1,795 is the most complete option: highlighted and tabbed rental books, the online course and live training.
