Exam Details

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman examination is administered by PSI for the Colorado State Electrical Board. The licensing examinations for Residential Wireman, Journeyman, and Master Electrician are designed to test entry-level competence in the areas in which licensees are legally allowed to practice.

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman examination contains 90 scored items and allows 240 minutes of testing time. The passing score is 70%, which is 63 correct scored items. The exam may also include up to 10 non-scored items, with additional time added for those non-scored items. Non-scored questions are used for future examination development and do not count toward the candidate’s final score.

The Journeyman Wireman content outline includes General Electrical Knowledge, 11 items; Services, Feeders, and Branch Circuits, 9 items; Grounding and Bonding, 14 items; Overcurrent Protection, 6 items; Conductors and Cables, 8 items; Raceways and Boxes, 5 items; Special Occupancies, 5 items; Special Equipment, 6 items; Electrical Devices, 5 items; Motors, 6 items; Transformers, 4 items; Photovoltaics, 2 items; and Electrical Calculations, 9 items.

Grounding and Bonding is the largest tested category on the Colorado Journeyman Wireman examination. Candidates should spend steady time reviewing grounding electrode systems, bonding requirements, grounded conductors, equipment grounding conductors, service bonding, separately derived systems, and the difference between grounding and bonding functions. Electrical calculations, general electrical knowledge, services, feeders, branch circuits, conductors, and cables also deserve regular review.

This Super Combo supports that study plan by pairing Colorado Journeyman Wireman subject review with calculation practice, flash card reinforcement, and NEC navigation. Students can use the study guide to organize their review, the calculations guide to strengthen math skills, the tabbed NEC paperback to practice finding code information efficiently, and the flash cards to reinforce key concepts between longer study sessions.

Open Book Test

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman examination is an open book test in the sense that the National Electrical Code reference is used during the exam. The PSI candidate information states that the 2023 National Electrical Code book and a formula page are provided at the test center for the current 2023 NEC testing cycle. Candidates may not use any other materials during the examination.

Because the examination center provides the NEC reference, candidates should follow test center rules carefully. The provided references may not be written in, highlighted, underlined, or indexed during the examination. Personal study guides, flash cards, loose notes, outside formulas, and other materials are not used during the exam.

Open book testing does not remove the need for serious preparation. It rewards candidates who already know how to use the code book. A student who has practiced NEC navigation can locate definitions, article sections, table notes, exceptions, and installation rules more efficiently than a student who waits until exam day to learn the book. The National Electrical Code 2023 paperback with tabs included in this Super Combo gives candidates a practical way to build those habits throughout preparation.

Tabs can be especially helpful during study because they create a faster path to major NEC sections. Students can practice moving from a question topic to the correct article, reading the rule carefully, and applying the correct requirement. While the exam reference is provided at the test center, using a tabbed NEC during preparation helps students become more familiar with the structure of the code book, the index, tables, article numbers, definitions, and common installation rules.

The 2023 Colorado Journeyman Electrician Study Guide, 2023 Electrician Calculations Study Guide, and 2023 Journeyman Electrician Flash Cards are preparation materials. They are intended for study before the exam. Candidates should use them to strengthen topic review, calculation skill, recall, code familiarity, and exam readiness.

Licensing Steps

Colorado electrical licensing is regulated by the Colorado State Electrical Board through the Division of Professions and Occupations. Candidates pursuing the Journeyman Wireman license must meet Colorado’s qualification requirements and pass the required examination.

The licensing process begins with gaining qualifying electrical experience. Colorado’s journeyman pathway requires documented electrical experience that meets state requirements. Apprentices should be properly registered so their practical training can count toward licensure. Experience must be documented according to the Board’s application requirements.

Colorado also requires classroom education for the journeyman pathway. For the Journeyman Wireman license, applicants must complete the required electrical training hours connected to the license type. The commonly referenced journeyman requirement includes 8,000 hours of practical training and 288 hours of electrical education.

After meeting the experience and education requirements, candidates apply through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations. The application process may include experience affidavits, education documentation, applicant information, required fees, and review by the licensing authority.

After passing the examination, the candidate files the license application with the Division of Professions and Occupations. Passing the examination is an important part of the process, but it does not by itself guarantee licensure. Final license issuance depends on meeting Colorado’s minimum qualifications and completing the required application steps.

State Requirements

Colorado issues statewide electrical licenses through the Colorado State Electrical Board. License categories include Apprentice, Residential Wireman, Journeyman Wireman, Master Electrician, and Electrical Contractor. Each classification has its own scope, qualification requirements, and application process.

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman license allows the license holder to perform electrical work within the scope allowed by Colorado electrical law. Journeyman electricians may work in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical settings, subject to state law, supervision rules, permitting requirements, and contractor licensing requirements.

For the journeyman pathway, Colorado requires documented practical electrical training and required electrical education. The commonly referenced requirement is 8,000 hours of practical training and 288 hours of classroom instruction. Candidates should keep clear employment records, apprenticeship records, education transcripts, and experience documentation because these materials are part of the licensing review process.

Colorado also has requirements for apprentices with six or more years of apprentice registration. A six-year apprentice with required training and other qualifications may be required to take the journeyman electrician license examination at least every three years in alignment with the license renewal cycle until a passing score is received.

This product is based on the 2023 NEC. The Colorado electrical examination bulletin identifies the 2023 NEC for the current 2023 NEC testing cycle and states that the NEC and formula page are provided at the test center. Candidates scheduled on or after the effective change to a newer code edition should follow the examination rules and code edition assigned to their scheduled exam date.
