Exam Details

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is administered by PSI Services LLC for the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Candidates are not allowed to register for the exam until the Board approves the application and the candidate receives approval to test. After approval, the candidate may schedule the examination through PSI.

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is a computer-based test. The exam includes 70 questions, has a minimum passing score of 70%, and allows 180 minutes. Candidates receive their score at the end of the exam, and a score report is provided at the test site.

The exam content areas include 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.

General electrical knowledge may include electrical theory, definitions, electrical formulas, symbols, drawings, meters, circuit behavior, and basic installation principles. Service, feeder, and branch circuit questions may require candidates to understand service equipment, conductor sizing, circuit ratings, overcurrent protection, load distribution, and safe wiring practices.

Grounding and bonding are important parts of journeyman-level electrical work. Candidates should understand grounded conductors, equipment grounding conductors, grounding electrode systems, bonding jumpers, fault-current paths, service grounding, separately derived systems, and practical grounding requirements. Conductors and cables may include ampacity, insulation, conductor material, temperature limitations, cable types, conductor protection, and installation rules.

Raceways and boxes may include conduit systems, raceway fill, box fill, fittings, supports, bends, pull boxes, junction boxes, and installation methods. Special occupancies, conditions, and equipment may include areas or systems with additional code requirements. Electrical power, motors, and equipment for general use may include motor circuits, controllers, disconnects, transformers, panelboards, appliances, luminaires, switches, and receptacles.

The Hawaii exam also includes low voltage and communication circuits, lighting, and safety information. Candidates should prepare for practical jobsite safety, electrical hazard awareness, safe work practices, and the correct application of electrical rules to field conditions.

Open Book Test

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is an open book exam. The exam bulletin states that the examination center provides the approved reference material for the exam. The bulletin identifies the National Electrical Code, 2020 edition, as the reference material provided by the examination center for the Journey Worker Electrician exam.

This Ultimate Combo is based on the 2023 National Electrical Code because the 2023 NEC is an important current code-cycle study tool and supports modern electrical code preparation. Candidates should also follow the exact reference edition listed in the current Hawaii PSI candidate bulletin for the examination they schedule. Exam-room reference rules are controlled by the testing bulletin and the Board’s current exam procedures.

Open book testing does not make the exam easy. Candidates still need to know where information is located, how NEC chapters are organized, how definitions affect the answer, how tables are applied, and how to move through a question efficiently. A candidate who relies only on flipping through the code book during the exam can lose valuable time.

The National Electrical Code 2023 Paperback with Tabs included in this package is a strong tool for study and code navigation practice. Tabs help candidates locate major NEC sections, but the real benefit comes from repeated use. Candidates should practice finding definitions, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductor ampacity tables, raceway rules, box fill rules, wiring methods, overcurrent protection, motors, equipment, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, communication systems, and Chapter 9 tables.

For open-book preparation, study the NEC in layers. Start by learning the chapter layout. Then practice locating common articles and tables. Add timed lookup drills to build speed. Finally, combine code lookup with exam-style questions so you learn when to use memory, when to use the code book, and when to move forward to protect your exam time.

Licensing Steps

The Hawaii journeyman electrician licensing path begins with meeting the requirements for the Journey Worker Electrician classification. Hawaii uses the title Journey Worker Electrician for the journeyman-level electrical license category.

To be eligible for the Journey Worker Electrician examination, an 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. Applicants must also provide satisfactory completion, accepted by a University of Hawaii community college offering an appropriate program of study, of 240 hours of electrical academic coursework.

After meeting the experience and coursework requirements, the applicant submits the electrician license application to the Board. The Board reviews the application and determines whether the applicant is approved to take the exam. Candidates should provide complete documentation, experience verification, and any required supporting materials with the application.

Once the Board approves the application, the candidate receives authorization to schedule the exam with PSI. The candidate then follows PSI’s scheduling procedures, pays the examination fee, selects an available examination appointment, and prepares for test day according to the candidate bulletin.

On exam day, candidates should arrive early, bring required identification, follow testing center rules, and comply with the exam-room procedures. PSI administers the exam by computer and provides score reporting at the end of the examination.

After passing the exam, candidates complete the remaining license issuance steps required by Hawaii. Passing the exam is an important milestone, but the Board controls final licensing approval, license issuance, and license status.

State Requirements

Hawaii electrical licensing is regulated through the Board of Electricians and Plumbers. The Board issues electrical license classifications, reviews applications, establishes licensing standards, and works with the state’s examination provider for approved candidates.

The Journey Worker Electrician classification applies to electricians performing residential or commercial wiring work within the scope allowed by Hawaii law and licensing rules. Hawaii also has other electrician classifications, including journey worker specialty electrician, supervising electrician, supervising specialty electrician, maintenance electrician, journey worker industrial electrician, and supervising industrial electrician.

The Journey Worker Electrician eligibility path requires substantial trade experience and academic coursework. The experience requirement is five years full-time or equivalent electrical work, with not less than 10,000 hours in residential or commercial wiring under qualifying supervision. The academic coursework requirement is 240 hours accepted by a University of Hawaii community college offering an appropriate program of study.

Candidates should understand the difference between individual electrician licensing and electrical contracting. A Journey Worker Electrician license relates to individual electrical trade qualification. Electrical contracting, business operation, permitting, insurance, supervision, and contractor licensing may involve additional requirements depending on the work being offered and the business structure.

Licensed electricians should continue monitoring Hawaii renewal, continuing education, code adoption, and compliance requirements. Electrical codes and licensing rules can change over time, and responsible electricians remain current with code updates, safety practices, and regulatory requirements.
