Exam Details

Michigan electrical licensing is handled through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Construction Codes. The Michigan Master Electrician exam is administered by PSI after the Department approves the candidate for examination. Candidates must apply through the state, receive approval, and then follow PSI’s instructions to schedule and take the exam.

The Michigan Master Electrician exam contains 76 questions. The minimum passing score is 75%, and the time allowed is 180 minutes. The examination is computer-based and is designed to test the knowledge required for master electrician licensure under Michigan law.

The master electrician examination includes questions designed to test knowledge of the Skilled Trades Regulation Act, rules under that act, current Electrical Code Rules Part 8, the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act, codes adopted under that act, and the theory related to those codes. Candidates should expect the exam to connect code rules, electrical theory, Michigan-specific law and rules, and practical installation judgment.

Electrical installation topics include grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, wiring methods and installations, boxes and cabinets, services, feeders, motors and motor controls, special occupancies, load calculations, lighting, appliances, box and raceway fill, power limited circuits, general electrical trade knowledge, and electrical theory. The master exam also covers additional knowledge required to plan and supervise electrical installations.

This Ultimate Combo supports that level of preparation by combining the Michigan Master Electrician Study Guide, the Electrician Calculations Study Guide, the National Electrical Code 2023 paperback with tabs, Master Electrician Flash Cards, the Online Test Success Kit, 1 year of course access, and Application Service. Students can use the package to build a study routine that includes reading, code lookup, calculation practice, flash card review, and exam-style questions.

Open Book Test

The Michigan Master Electrician exam is an open book test. Candidates are responsible for bringing their own approved references to the examination center. The exam is based on the 2023 National Electrical Code, although PSI notes that other NEC editions may be used during the examination. For study purposes, this Ultimate Combo is based on the 2023 NEC and includes the National Electrical Code 2023 paperback with tabs.

Approved reference materials for the Michigan Master Electrician exam include the National Electrical Code, 2016 PA 407, 1972 PA 230, and Michigan Electrical Code Rules Part 8. The NEC Handbook is not allowed in the examination room. Applicants may bring a straight edge rule without calculations.

The code book may have factory markings or highlights with factory tabs only. Printed documents from the Bureau of Construction Codes website must be bound with three staples on the left edge in separate documents. Highlighting, marking, and tabs in printed documents are not permitted. Candidates are not allowed to bring additional loose or attached papers with approved references, and candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or index references during the exam.

Open book testing does not make the exam easy. It rewards candidates who already know how the NEC is organized and how to locate the correct rule quickly. Students should practice using the index, article structure, definitions, tables, notes, exceptions, and cross-references. A candidate who understands how to move through the NEC can save valuable time on questions that require code lookup.

The National Electrical Code 2023 paperback with tabs included in this Ultimate Combo is intended for study and navigation practice before the exam. The 2023 Michigan Master Electrician Study Guide, 2023 Electrician Calculations Study Guide, Master Electrician Flash Cards, and Online Test Success Kit are preparation materials. On exam day, candidates should follow PSI and Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes rules for approved references, tabs, printed documents, identification, personal items, and testing conduct.

Licensing Steps

The Michigan Master Electrician licensing process begins with meeting the state’s eligibility requirements. Applicants must be at least 22 years old and must satisfy the experience and licensing conditions required for master electrician licensure.

Michigan requires at least 12,000 hours of experience obtained over a period of six years or more. The experience must be related to electrical construction, maintenance of buildings, or electrical wiring or equipment and must be performed under the supervision of a master electrician. Applicants must also hold and maintain an electrical journeyperson license for at least two years before qualifying for the master electrician license.

After meeting the experience and journeyperson licensing requirements, the candidate applies to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Construction Codes. The Department reviews the examination application and determines eligibility. Only the State of Michigan may determine whether a candidate is eligible for licensure and examination.

Once the Department approves the candidate for the examination, the candidate receives a notification letter with instructions for paying and scheduling through PSI. The candidate then schedules the exam, brings proper government-issued photo identification, arrives on time, and follows all test center rules.

After passing the exam, the candidate continues the licensing process through the Department. Passing the exam is an important step, but final licensure depends on meeting all Michigan application, documentation, experience, fee, and administrative requirements. The Application Service included with this Ultimate Combo supports the paperwork side of the process while the study materials support the exam-preparation portion.

State Requirements

Michigan regulates master electricians through the Bureau of Construction Codes under the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. A master electrician license is a higher-level personal electrical license connected to code compliance, planning, supervision, and responsible electrical work.

The master electrician’s role includes being in charge of and responsible for Michigan code compliance of installations of electrical wiring and equipment. A master electrician can associate with only one electrical contractor at a time. Electrical contractor licenses require an associated master electrician license, and the master electrician’s responsibility is tied to the contractor’s code compliance role.

The Michigan master electrician pathway requires at least 12,000 hours of qualifying experience over six years or more, under the supervision of a master electrician. The applicant must also hold and maintain an electrical journeyperson license for at least two years. These requirements make the master license a higher-responsibility credential for experienced electrical professionals.

Michigan’s exam is based on the 2023 National Electrical Code and also covers Michigan law, rules, code adoption, and theory related to those codes. Candidates should prepare for both technical electrical questions and Michigan-specific law and rule content. The exam’s master-level focus includes the additional knowledge needed to plan and supervise electrical installations.

This product is based on the 2023 NEC. Students can use the included NEC paperback with tabs for code navigation practice, the Michigan Master Electrician Study Guide for organized topic review, the Electrician Calculations Study Guide for math practice, the Flash Cards for repetition, and the Online Test Success Kit for exam-style question preparation.
