The Wyoming Journeyman Electrician examination is an open-book, multiple-choice examination administered through the International Code Council testing program. The current examination listing identifies 80 multiple-choice questions with a four-hour time limit. The exam evaluates broad journey-level electrical knowledge, with major emphasis on NEC navigation, wiring methods, branch circuits, services, equipment, motors, generators, and special installations.

Exam Details

The Wyoming Journeyman Electrician examination is part of the statewide licensing process overseen by the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety. Before scheduling the exam, candidates must first submit a licensing examination application and receive approval based on their qualifying electrical work experience and classroom education.

The current ICC examination listing identifies the 385 Wyoming Journeyman Electrician examination as an 80-question multiple-choice examination with a four-hour time limit.

The examination content is divided among nine major areas. General Knowledge represents 6% of the exam, Services and Service Equipment 11%, Feeders 4%, Branch Circuits and Conductors 19%, Wiring Methods and Materials 26%, Equipment and Devices 13%, Control Devices 4%, Motors and Generators 6%, and Special Occupancies, Equipment, and Conditions 11%.

Wiring Methods and Materials is the largest single examination category at 26%. Branch Circuits and Conductors follows at 19%. Together, these areas represent a substantial portion of the test and make conductor knowledge, raceway requirements, cable systems, boxes, installation methods, branch-circuit rules, and NEC navigation especially important study priorities.

Wyoming states that its licensing examinations are based on the current edition of the National Electrical Code. Because the 2026 NEC became effective in Wyoming on July 1, 2026, current candidates should develop familiarity with the 2026 code cycle.

The ICC contractor and trades examination program uses four-option multiple-choice questions. There is no guessing penalty, so candidates should answer every question before the examination time expires.

Open Book Test

The Wyoming Journeyman Electrician examination is an open-book test. The current ICC examination listing identifies the Wyoming Journeyman exam as open book and allows four hours for completion.

Open-book testing makes NEC navigation one of the most important preparation skills. Having the code available does not mean there is enough time to research every question from the beginning. With 80 questions in four hours, candidates have an average of three minutes per question before accounting for review time.

The NEC tabs included with this package can help organize your personal 2026 NEC and reinforce the location of major electrical subjects during preparation. Use them to build familiarity with areas such as services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, raceways, cables, boxes, motors, equipment, and special occupancies.

The NEC overview included in the course helps develop a broader understanding of how the code is structured. Instead of relying entirely on the index, learn how chapters, articles, definitions, tables, and equipment requirements relate to one another.

When working through practice questions, first determine the electrical subject being tested. Then identify the likely article, section, table, or chapter before opening the code. This approach helps reduce unnecessary searching and makes open-book preparation more efficient.

Because Wyoming adopted the 2026 NEC without modification, studying the included 2026 edition provides direct preparation for the state's current electrical code cycle as well as current-code professional development.

State Requirements

Wyoming requires Journeyman Electrician examination applicants to provide evidence of four years, or 8,000 hours, of qualifying electrical wiring experience.

The work history must include experience in electrical installation involving residential, commercial, and industrial categories. Wyoming limits the amount of experience that may be accumulated in any single category to no more than 75% of the total 8,000-hour requirement.

The state also requires 576 hours of electrically related classroom instruction, normally completed as 144 hours per year during a four-year apprenticeship. The education must come through a qualifying electrical apprenticeship training program.

Wyoming allows up to 4,000 hours, or two years, of work-experience credit for qualifying electrically related courses taken through an accredited school when those studies exceed the required 576 hours of apprenticeship education.

Wyoming also provides an alternative for applicants who cannot document the standard 576 hours of classroom instruction. An applicant may be considered for examination eligibility by providing evidence of 10 years and 20,000 hours of on-the-job electrical training experience, subject to approval by the Chief Electrical Inspector.

Military electrical experience may also be considered. Wyoming permits applicants to submit military documentation such as a DD-214 and Joint Service Transcript when applicable to electrically related experience and coursework.

A Wyoming Journeyman Electrician performing electrical work must be employed by an electrical contractor holding a current Wyoming Electrical Contractor license. The individual Journeyman Electrician license does not replace the contractor licensing requirement for the business performing regulated electrical contracting work.

Wyoming Journeyman Electrician licenses are valid for three years. License holders must complete at least 16 hours of approved continuing education before renewal, with at least eight of those hours specifically covering the National Electrical Code.

Wyoming also maintains Journeyman Electrician reciprocity agreements with Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Iowa, and Utah. Reciprocal applicants must satisfy Wyoming's current reciprocity requirements, including licensing history, examination history, experience, education, and continuing education standards.

Wyoming adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2026 and states that it adopts the NEC without modification. This makes the 2026 NEC especially important for current Wyoming electrical installations and licensing preparation.
