Exam Details

Colorado electrical licensing is administered through the Colorado State Electrical Board within the Division of Professions and Occupations. The Board has contracted with PSI Services LLC to conduct the electrical examination program. PSI administers the Colorado Residential Wireman, Journeyman Wireman, Master Electrician, and related electrical examinations through computer-based testing.

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman examination is listed as 90 scored items with 240 minutes to complete the scored portion. The passing standard is 70%, which equals 63 correct scored items. The exam may also include up to 10 non-scored items with additional time. Non-scored items are used for examination development and do not count toward the candidate’s final score.

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman exam outline includes general electrical knowledge, services, feeders and branch circuits, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, conductors and cables, raceways and boxes, special occupancies, special equipment, electrical devices, motors, transformers, photovoltaics, and electrical calculations.

The largest listed subject areas include grounding and bonding, general electrical knowledge, services, feeders and branch circuits, conductors and cables, electrical calculations, overcurrent protection, motors, and special equipment. Candidates should study all content areas, but these larger categories deserve steady attention because they represent important parts of the exam outline.

Colorado’s PSI bulletin advises candidates to review electrical theory and common formulas. It also states that candidates are responsible for knowing and using basic electrical theory formulas because that knowledge may be required for the examination’s calculations content area. This makes a dedicated calculations guide especially useful for Colorado journeyman electrician preparation.

Open Book Test

The Colorado Journeyman Wireman exam is an open book test using the NEC and formula page provided at the test center. Effective August 1, 2026, the Colorado PSI bulletin states that all examination questions are consistent with the 2026 National Electrical Code and that the 2026 NEC and formula page are provided to candidates at the test center.

Candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or index the references provided during the examination. The bulletin also states that candidates may not use any other materials. This means preparation with your own NEC before test day is important, even though the test center provides the examination reference.

Open book testing still requires serious preparation. A candidate who is unfamiliar with the NEC may lose valuable time searching through definitions, article sections, tables, wiring method rules, grounding and bonding provisions, conductor requirements, service rules, feeder rules, branch-circuit requirements, motor provisions, transformer rules, and special equipment sections. A prepared candidate can move more efficiently because the structure of the code is already familiar.

The National Electrical Code 2026 paperback with tabs included in this Super Combo is intended for study and code navigation practice before the exam. The Colorado Journeyman Electrician Study Guide, Electrician Calculations Study Guide, and Journeyman Electrician Flash Cards are also intended for preparation before test day. Exam-room reference access, provided materials, calculator rules, allowed items, and test-day procedures are controlled by the current Colorado State Electrical Board and PSI examination instructions.

Licensing Steps

The Colorado journeyman electrician licensing path begins with meeting the state’s experience and education requirements. Colorado lists the Journeyman Electrician experience requirement as 8,000 hours of experience earned in no less than 4 years. Of those hours, 2,000 hours must be in commercial or industrial work.

Colorado also lists an education requirement for journeyman electrician applicants. Applicants must document 288 hours of classroom education with a transcript or similar statement. Candidates should gather their work experience documentation, education records, and application information before beginning the licensing process.

After meeting the qualification basis, the candidate applies through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations process. The candidate then schedules and takes the required PSI examination. PSI provides examination scheduling through its Colorado electrical testing program and gives candidates score results immediately after the examination.

Passing the examination does not automatically guarantee licensure. Colorado’s PSI bulletin states that candidates must still demonstrate that they meet the minimum qualifications for licensure according to Colorado law. After passing the exam, the candidate files the license application with the Division of Professions and Occupations and completes the Board’s licensing process.

A practical study path includes reviewing the Colorado exam outline, studying the NEC 2026 structure, practicing calculations, reviewing electrical theory, using flash cards for repeated recall, and building a steady study schedule before the test date. This Super Combo supports that preparation by combining structured reading, calculation practice, code navigation, and quick-review tools.

State Requirements

Colorado licenses electricians through the Colorado State Electrical Board. The state’s electrical licensing classifications include Residential Wireman, Journeyman Wireman, and Master Electrician. Colorado also requires electrical contractor registration for businesses performing electrical contracting work in the state.

For the Journeyman Electrician license, Colorado lists 8,000 hours of experience earned in no less than 4 years, including 2,000 hours in commercial or industrial work. The state also requires 288 hours of classroom education for all applicants. These requirements are separate from exam preparation, but they determine whether an applicant may qualify for licensure.

Colorado also participates in journeyman electrician reciprocity through the National Electrical Reciprocal Alliance. Reciprocal licensing requires an active qualifying license from a participating state, a state-administered examination, and compliance with Colorado’s reciprocity requirements. Applicants pursuing reciprocity should follow Colorado’s current endorsement and reciprocity application process.

This Super Combo supports the study portion of the Colorado journeyman electrician path. It does not replace the state application, experience verification, education documentation, exam scheduling, license approval, or renewal process. It is designed to help students strengthen electrical knowledge, calculation ability, code familiarity, and exam-style readiness.
