Open Book Test

The Delaware Residential Electrician examination is an open-book, timed test. Candidates may use authorized references during testing while following the testing provider’s current requirements for approved titles, editions, permanent tabs, highlighting, notes, inserts, calculators, and other materials.

An open-book test still requires careful preparation. Candidates have three hours to answer 60 questions. Although this provides more time per question than some trade examinations, difficult calculations, unfamiliar Code requirements, and longer reference searches can still consume valuable testing time.

The included NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, 2020 is the primary source for questions involving residential services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding, bonding, wiring methods, overcurrent protection, equipment, appliances, motors, special installations, and communication systems.

The American Electrician’s Handbook, 17th Edition supports preparation involving electrical theory, formulas, calculations, materials, equipment, motors, controls, installation principles, testing, and practical electrical knowledge. It can help candidates understand the technical concepts behind Code requirements.

Both rental books are highlighted and tabbed. Tabs provide practical starting points for major topics, while highlighting identifies important definitions, rules, tables, diagrams, formulas, and technical explanations. Candidates should still read the complete surrounding material because exceptions, notes, conditions, and related sections may affect the correct answer.

Develop a consistent reference-search process during the course. Begin by identifying the main subject and key terms in the question. Determine whether the problem is primarily a Code question, a calculation, or a general electrical-knowledge question. Select the appropriate reference, use the index or table of contents, and read the complete applicable section.

When using the National Electrical Code, review definitions and article scope statements. Read table headings, footnotes, exceptions, informational notes, and referenced sections before choosing an answer. A requirement may change based on dwelling type, conductor material, wiring method, location, load, equipment rating, or installation condition.

Candidates should review the current examination instructions before test day and bring only references and materials permitted for the scheduled examination.

Licensing Steps

State Requirements

Delaware requires a professional electrical license to perform regulated electrical services. The Residential Electrician classification permits qualifying residential electrical work without direct onsite supervision by another licensed electrician, within the scope authorized for the license.

Applicants must demonstrate more than 4,000 hours of full-time experience under the supervision of a licensed Limited Electrician or Master Electrician, or complete a residential apprenticeship program approved by the Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners.

All Residential Electrician applicants must pass the Delaware Residential Electrical Examination. Holding a residential license from another jurisdiction or possessing an apprenticeship completion certificate does not eliminate the Delaware examination requirement.

Experience documentation should describe the nature of the electrical work and establish qualifying supervision. Applicable residential experience may involve services, feeders, branch circuits, raceways, cables, receptacles, switches, lighting, appliances, grounding, bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, controls, testing, maintenance, alteration, and repair.

The Board determines whether an applicant’s experience, apprenticeship records, examination result, and supporting documentation satisfy the requirements for licensure. Completing the course or purchasing the package does not replace any state qualification.

A Delaware Residential Electrician license is issued to an individual. Electrical contractors and professionals planning to operate a business may also need business registration, tax accounts, permits, inspections, and other state or local credentials separate from the professional license.
