Exam Details

Vanderburgh County has contracted with Prov to administer its NASCLA electrical licensing examinations. The available electrical examinations include the NASCLA Electrical Contractor examination for Master Electrician or Unlimited Electrician candidates and the NASCLA Journey-level Electrician examination for journeyman candidates.

The current Vanderburgh County NASCLA Journey-level Electrician examination contains 110 questions and allows 5 hours for completion. The 110 questions include 100 scored questions and 10 experimental items. Journey-level examinations are currently graded against a 70% passing score.

The current examination content is distributed among the following subject areas:

• Interpreting Plans & Specifications: 6 questions
• Basic Electrical Safety: 8 questions

Wiring and Protection is the largest scored category, followed by cabinets, boxes, fittings and conduit, and General Code Requirements. Candidates should also dedicate meaningful preparation time to electrical theory, equipment, safety, troubleshooting, plans, specifications, and special electrical systems.

The current Prov examination fee is $125 per examination attempt. This testing fee is separate from the price of the Ultimate Exam Prep Rental Package.

Vanderburgh County does not currently accept NASCLA transcripts from examinations completed in another participating jurisdiction. Candidates must take the examination in Evansville for this local licensing pathway.

Open Book Test

The Vanderburgh County NASCLA Journey-level Electrician examination is an open book test. Candidates may use authorized reference materials listed for the examination, provided the books comply with current Prov reference-material rules.

Prov permits approved reference books to contain highlighting, underlining in pen, and permanent tabs. Handwritten notes are not permitted. Moveable tabs and Post-it notes are prohibited, and candidates cannot add photocopied documents to reference books. Reference materials are checked before candidates enter the testing room.

All seven rental books included in this Ultimate package are highlighted and permanently tabbed. This preparation helps candidates organize their study and become familiar with navigation points throughout the references before exam day.

The 2023 National Electrical Code is a central reference for the examination. Candidates should practice using Article 100 definitions, the NEC index, chapter organization, individual articles, tables, exceptions, and cross-references. Efficient navigation can be particularly valuable in categories such as Wiring and Protection, General Code Requirements, wiring methods, equipment, and special occupancies.

OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 supports construction-safety preparation, while OSHA 29 CFR 1910 covers general-industry workplace requirements. NFPA 70E supports preparation involving electrical workplace safety and safe work practices.

Ugly's Electrical References and Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications support calculations, formulas, electrical theory, and practical problem solving. NFPA 72 provides reference material for fire alarm and signaling-system topics.

A useful preparation routine is to work a practice-oriented question, identify its subject, select the correct reference, use the permanent tabs to reach the relevant area, locate the supporting rule or formula, and then solve the problem. Repeating this process helps combine technical learning with open-book navigation practice.

Licensing Steps

Passing the NASCLA Journey-level Electrician examination does not automatically issue a Vanderburgh County journeyman electrician license. Candidates must complete the local licensing process and satisfy the requirements established for the trade.

1. Review the journeyman qualification requirements. Vanderburgh County requires a journeyman applicant to establish at least four years of practical experience in the applicable trade.
2. Prepare the local application. Complete the application materials required by the Evansville-Vanderburgh County licensing authority.
3. Provide the required recommendations. Local application requirements include three letters of recommendation from qualifying business or professional references who are not related to the applicant by blood or marriage.
4. Document practical electrical experience. Provide information supporting the required four years of trade experience.
5. Receive examination eligibility. Complete the local approval process before scheduling the licensing examination.
6. Schedule the NASCLA Journey-level Electrician examination through Prov. Candidates must take the examination in Evansville because Vanderburgh County does not currently accept NASCLA transcripts from outside examinations.
7. Prepare with the course and rental references. Study the NEC, safety requirements, theory, calculations, troubleshooting, wiring methods, equipment, plans, and specialty systems.
8. Take and pass the examination. The current journey-level passing standard is 70%.
9. Complete the remaining licensing requirements. Follow the local process for issuance of the journeyman license after satisfying the examination and application requirements.

State Requirements

Electrical journeyman licensing in Vanderburgh County is a local licensing process. Indiana does not use one single statewide journeyman electrician license that replaces all municipal or county electrical licensing requirements. The local rules governing work in Vanderburgh County and Evansville therefore play a central role for electricians working in this jurisdiction.

Under the Vanderburgh County licensing ordinance, a person cannot be issued a journeyman license unless the applicant establishes at least four years of practical experience in the applicable trade.

The local ordinance also establishes supervision requirements. An apprentice may not install regulated work except under the supervision of a licensed journeyman or master employed on the same job. These provisions help distinguish apprentice-level work from the responsibilities associated with journeyman licensing.

The Vanderburgh County application requirements include information identifying the license being sought, the applicant's identifying and business information where applicable, proof of applicable fees, and three letters of recommendation. The recommendation letters must come from reputable business or professional individuals who are not related to the applicant by blood or marriage and must address the applicant's honesty, integrity, and good character.

Electrical applicants are examined through the local licensing process, and the applicable board determines eligibility. For the current NASCLA Journey-level Electrician pathway, Prov administers the examination.

After a candidate completes the examination, Prov scores the test and reports the result. The current journey-level cut score is 70%. If a candidate does not pass, the candidate must return to the Board for a new eligibility before retesting.

Each examination eligibility is valid for one examination attempt. The current process permits the examination to be administered up to three times per year, with a new eligibility required for each attempt.

NASCLA specifically identifies Vanderburgh County as a participating electrical examination agency but states that the jurisdiction does not currently accept transcripts. Candidates seeking the Vanderburgh County credential must therefore take the examination in Evansville instead of relying on a passing NASCLA result obtained elsewhere.

The current Vanderburgh County ordinance lists a new Journeyman license fee of $35 and a renewal fee of $25. These local licensing fees are separate from the Prov examination fee and separate from the price of this 1 Exam Prep package.

Test Information and Study Materials

A productive Vanderburgh County NASCLA Journeyman Electrician study plan should combine technical review with frequent reference-book practice. With 1 year of course access, candidates have an extended period to review electrical subjects, practice calculations, develop code-navigation skills, and return to challenging topics.

Begin with Wiring and Protection, the largest scored subject area on the current exam. Review services, feeders, branch circuits, conductors, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, and related NEC requirements.

The category involving cabinets, boxes, fittings, and conduit also represents a substantial portion of the examination. Practice locating rules for raceways, enclosures, boxes, conduit, fittings, conductor fill, and installation requirements.

General Code Requirements should receive consistent review. Candidates should become comfortable moving through NEC definitions, general installation provisions, equipment requirements, working-space rules, and requirements that apply across multiple electrical systems.

Electrical theory preparation should include voltage, current, resistance, power, series and parallel circuits, alternating-current principles, transformers, motors, and calculations. Testing and troubleshooting preparation should include electrical measurements, continuity, circuit behavior, equipment operation, and logical fault diagnosis.

Safety preparation should use OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and NFPA 70E. NFPA 72 supports fire alarm and signaling-system study, while Ugly's Electrical References can assist with formulas, calculations, conversions, and practical field information.

Use the online course and highlighted references together. Work through a topic, answer practice-oriented questions, identify the appropriate reference, navigate to the relevant section, and confirm the underlying rule or technical principle. This approach helps strengthen both electrical knowledge and open-book reference familiarity.
