Exam Details

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician examination is administered through PSI for the Hawaii Board of Electricians and Plumbers. The Journey Worker Electrician license is for a person licensed by the board as a journey worker electrician to perform electrical work.

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician examination contains 70 questions, requires a minimum passing score of 70%, and allows 180 minutes of testing time. The examination includes questions across several electrical subject areas, including General Electrical Knowledge, Service, Feeders, and Branch Circuits, Grounding and Bonding, Conductors and Cables, Raceways and Boxes, Special Occupancies, Conditions, and Equipment, Electrical Power, Motors, and Equipment for General Use, Low Voltage and Communication Circuits, Lighting, and Safety Information.

The content outline lists 10 items for General Electrical Knowledge, 10 items for Service, Feeders, and Branch Circuits, 10 items for Grounding and Bonding, 10 items for Conductors and Cables, 6 items for Raceways and Boxes, 6 items for Special Occupancies, Conditions, and Equipment, 6 items for Electrical Power, Motors, and Equipment for General Use, 4 items for Low Voltage and Communication Circuits, 4 items for Lighting, and 4 items for Safety Information.

Because the exam covers a wide range of electrical content, candidates should prepare across the full outline. Grounding and bonding, conductors and cables, services, feeders, branch circuits, and general electrical knowledge make up a large part of the exam, but smaller categories can still affect the final score. A balanced study plan helps students avoid relying only on areas they already know from field experience.

This combo supports that study plan by pairing Hawaii journeyman electrician review with electrical calculation practice and NEC navigation. Students can use the study guide to organize their review, the calculations guide to strengthen math skills, and the NEC paperback to practice finding code information efficiently.

Open Book Test

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is an open book test. The examination center provides the National Electrical Code, 2020 edition, for the exam. Candidates should follow PSI’s test-day rules and use only the materials allowed for the examination.

Open book testing gives candidates access to a code reference, but it does not remove the need for preparation. A candidate who has not practiced code navigation can lose valuable time searching through unrelated sections. Strong preparation means knowing how the NEC is organized, how definitions are used, how tables and notes work, and how to recognize the article or rule being tested.

The 2023 NEC paperback in this combo is useful for current-code study and NEC navigation practice. Students should use it to become comfortable moving through chapters, articles, definitions, tables, exceptions, and index entries. That habit helps candidates develop the code-search discipline needed for open book testing, even when the exam center provides a different NEC edition for test day.

Students should also practice pacing. A 70-question exam with a 180-minute time limit requires careful reading, steady progress, and efficient code lookup. Questions that can be answered from knowledge should be handled confidently, while code-search questions should be approached with a clear plan. Electrical calculations should be practiced before the exam so that formulas and methods are familiar.

Licensing Steps

Hawaii electrician licensing is regulated by the Hawaii Board of Electricians and Plumbers through the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Professional and Vocational Licensing Division. Candidates pursuing the Journey Worker Electrician license must meet the Board’s eligibility requirements and pass the Board’s examination.

The application process begins with obtaining the electrician and plumber license application materials from the Board. Candidates submit the completed application and required documentation for review. The Board evaluates the applicant’s experience, academic coursework, and eligibility for the examination.

After the Board approves an applicant to sit for the examination, the candidate follows the exam registration process provided by PSI. Candidates should register for the correct examination, review the candidate information, bring required identification on exam day, and follow all test center procedures.

After passing the required examination, the candidate completes the remaining licensing steps required by the Board. Passing the exam is an important part of the process, but candidates must still follow the Board’s instructions for final licensing, fees, and documentation. This combo supports the study and exam-preparation portion of that path.

State Requirements

Hawaii’s Journey Worker Electrician license requirements include both experience and academic coursework. A Journey Worker Electrician applicant must be at least 18 years old and provide satisfactory evidence of experience in residential or commercial wiring of at least five years full-time or its equivalent, but not less than 10,000 hours, in the trade under the supervision of a journey worker or supervising electrician.

Hawaii also requires satisfactory completion of 240 hours of electrical academic coursework accepted by a University of Hawaii community college offering an appropriate program of study. The candidate must also pass the Board’s examination.

These requirements are specific to the Journey Worker Electrician license category. Hawaii also has other electrical license classifications, including Journey Worker Industrial Electrician, Journey Worker Specialty Electrician, Maintenance Electrician, Supervising Electrician, Supervising Industrial Electrician, and Supervising Specialty Electrician. Candidates should apply under the correct license category for the work they plan to perform.

For the Journey Worker Electrician path, students should prepare for both the eligibility process and the exam itself. Experience and coursework support the application, while exam preparation requires a separate study routine focused on electrical knowledge, NEC navigation, calculation practice, and timed testing skills.

Test Information and Study Materials

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam covers several core areas of electrical practice. General Electrical Knowledge includes the foundational information candidates use across the trade. This can include electrical terminology, theory, code concepts, installation principles, and the ability to interpret the type of rule a question is testing.

Service, Feeders, and Branch Circuits are major study areas. Candidates should review service equipment, feeder requirements, branch-circuit rules, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, required outlets, load relationships, and related NEC organization. These topics often require the ability to connect multiple code rules and apply them to a practical installation.

Grounding and Bonding deserves steady review because it is heavily tied to electrical safety and code compliance. Students should understand grounding electrode systems, bonding requirements, equipment grounding conductors, grounded conductors, service bonding, and the difference between grounding and bonding functions.

Conductors and Cables are another important part of the exam. Candidates should study conductor types, ampacity, insulation, temperature limitations, adjustment and correction concepts, cable rules, and related installation requirements. Raceways and Boxes require knowledge of raceway types, supports, fill, box sizing, fittings, cabinets, panelboards, and installation limitations.

Special Occupancies, Conditions, and Equipment can include installations that differ from general wiring rules. Candidates should be comfortable locating special rules in the NEC and understanding when a question shifts from a general requirement to a more specific condition. Electrical Power, Motors, and Equipment for General Use may include motors, appliances, luminaires, switches, receptacles, equipment connections, disconnecting means, and related installation requirements.

Low Voltage and Communication Circuits, Lighting, and Safety Information should also be included in the study plan. These smaller categories can still contribute important points on exam day. Students should avoid skipping them simply because they have fewer questions.

The Electrician Calculations Study Guide helps candidates practice the math side of preparation. Useful calculation practice may include Ohm’s law, power formulas, service and feeder calculations, conductor sizing, box fill, voltage relationships, motor calculations, and table-based NEC problem solving. Repetition helps students become more accurate and more comfortable working under time limits.
