Exam Details

Kansas electrical exams are commonly administered through the International Code Council contractor/trades testing program with Pearson VUE. The ICC Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician exam is listed as exam KGH in the Kansas contractor/trades bulletin. The exam contains 80 multiple-choice questions, is open book, and allows a 4-hour testing time limit.

The Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician content outline is organized into the following subject areas: General Knowledge, Services and Service Equipment, Feeders, Branch Circuits and Conductors, Wiring Methods and Materials, Equipment and Devices, Control Devices, Motors and Generators, and Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions.

Wiring Methods and Materials is the largest listed category, making up 26% of the exam outline. Branch Circuits and Conductors account for 19%. Equipment and Devices account for 13%. Services and Service Equipment account for 11%, and Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions account for 11%. General Knowledge, Motors and Generators, Feeders, and Control Devices make up the remaining subject areas.

The outline shows that candidates should prepare across a broad range of electrical topics instead of focusing on only one part of the code. A strong study plan should include code definitions, plan reading, electrical theory, service equipment, service load calculations, grounding and bonding, feeder calculations, branch-circuit requirements, overcurrent protection, conductor rules, GFCI and AFCI protection, raceways, cabinets, panelboards, boxes, luminaires, receptacles, switches, appliances, disconnects, controllers, motors, generators, swimming pools, mobile home and RV parks, emergency systems, signaling systems, and fire alarm systems.

This combo supports that type of preparation by giving students a Kansas journeyman electrician study guide for organized review, a calculations study guide for math practice, and the 2023 NEC paperback for code navigation. Students should confirm the exact exam code and reference edition required by the jurisdiction where they plan to license, because Kansas licensing and exam acceptance can vary by local authority.

Open Book Test

The Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician exam is an open book test. Open book testing allows candidates to use approved references during the examination, but it still requires strong preparation. Because the exam is timed, candidates should not expect to look up every answer from scratch. A successful open book strategy depends on knowing where information is located, understanding code organization, and recognizing what the question is asking.

Students should practice using the NEC before test day. Important skills include locating definitions, moving through chapters and articles, using the index, reading table headings and notes carefully, following exceptions, and understanding how general rules connect to installation-specific requirements. The 2023 NEC paperback in this combo helps students build those habits while studying current NEC language and structure.

The Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician exam outline lists the National Electrical Code and Ugly’s Electrical References as reference materials for the exam. Candidates should bring only the reference editions allowed for the specific exam they register for. The study guides in this combo are preparation materials and should be used before exam day to strengthen topic review, code knowledge, and calculation skill.

Licensing Steps

Kansas electrical licensing requirements can vary by jurisdiction. The ICC contractor/trades program provides testing that local Kansas licensing agencies may use to evaluate electrician candidates, but ICC is not the licensing agency. Candidates should begin by identifying the city, county, or local authority where they plan to work and confirming the license category and examination required by that authority.

After identifying the correct license path, candidates should confirm which Kansas electrical exam applies. Some jurisdictions may require the Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician exam, while others may have their own application steps, local documentation, experience requirements, fees, or approval process. Candidates should complete the required local application steps before scheduling the exam when preapproval is required.

Once the correct exam has been identified, candidates can schedule through Pearson VUE for the ICC contractor/trades examination program. The registration process includes creating or accessing an account, selecting the correct ICC exam, choosing an available test center or delivery option when available, and paying the required exam fee. Candidates should register with their legal name and bring acceptable identification on exam day.

After passing the examination, candidates must contact the licensing jurisdiction for the remaining licensing steps. Passing the exam may satisfy the testing requirement, but the local licensing authority may also require proof of experience, application forms, license fees, bonding, insurance, renewal compliance, or other local requirements. This study combo supports the exam-preparation portion of that path by helping students study electrical topics, calculations, and NEC navigation in an organized way.

State Requirements

Kansas does not operate every journeyman electrician license through one single statewide electrical licensing board in the same way some other states do. Local jurisdictions may set their own electrician licensing requirements and may use ICC contractor/trades examinations as part of the licensing process. This makes it important for candidates to follow the rules of the city or county where they plan to work.

The ICC Kansas Standard Journeyman Electrician exam provides a recognized contractor/trades testing option for jurisdictions that use ICC exams. The exam is open book, contains 80 multiple-choice questions, and has a 4-hour time limit. The content outline focuses on general electrical knowledge, services, feeders, branch circuits, conductors, wiring methods, equipment, devices, controls, motors, generators, and special occupancies or conditions.

Candidates preparing with this 2023 NEC-based combo should use the study materials to strengthen electrical knowledge and code-navigation skills while also confirming the exact reference edition required by their chosen jurisdiction and exam. The 2023 NEC paperback is valuable for current-code study and preparation, while the Kansas journeyman study guide and calculations guide help organize review and reinforce calculation practice.

Equipment and Devices includes luminaires, receptacles, switches, appliances, heating and cooling equipment, and other utilization equipment. Control Devices includes switches, disconnects, and controllers. Motors and Generators includes motor and generator rules that may involve conductor sizing, overload protection, disconnecting means, controllers, and branch-circuit protection.

Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions include special occupancies, swimming pools and similar installations, mobile home and RV parks, data processing equipment, miscellaneous special equipment, emergency systems, signaling systems, and fire alarm systems. These areas may not make up the largest portion of the exam, but they can be important for earning points across the full test.

Students using this combo should build a weekly study plan that includes topic review, code lookup practice, and calculation repetition. A useful approach is to study one major subject area at a time, then complete related calculation practice and NEC navigation drills. Over time, candidates should work toward faster code lookup, fewer calculation mistakes, and better recognition of the type of question being asked.
