This Ultimate Combo gives candidates multiple study tools so they can prepare through reading, repetition, calculation practice, reference navigation, and online exam-style review.

Exam Details

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is administered through PSI Services LLC for the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Candidates are not allowed to register for the exam until the Board approves the application and sends approval information. Once eligible, the candidate may schedule the examination through PSI during the eligibility period.

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician examination includes 70 questions, requires a minimum passing score of 70%, and allows 180 minutes of testing time. Candidates should prepare for a timed exam that measures both trade knowledge and the ability to apply electrical rules accurately.

The exam content outline includes general electrical knowledge, service, feeders, and branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductors and cables, raceways and boxes, special occupancies, conditions, and equipment, electrical power, motors, and equipment for general use, low voltage circuits, and safety information. These areas represent the practical knowledge expected of a licensed journey worker electrician.

Because the exam covers a broad range of electrical topics, candidates should avoid focusing on only one part of the trade. A complete study plan should include general theory, code structure, common NEC tables, conductor rules, overcurrent protection concepts, raceway and box requirements, grounding and bonding, motor rules, low-voltage basics, safety, and calculation practice.

This Ultimate Combo supports exam preparation with materials based on the 2026 National Electrical Code. Candidates should also pay close attention to the code edition and reference rules listed for their scheduled examination, because exam providers and licensing boards control the official materials used on test day.

Open Book Test

The Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician exam is an open book test. The examination center provides the National Electrical Code reference material listed for the exam. Candidates do not bring their own NEC into the testing room for the Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician examination.

Open book testing still requires serious preparation. The National Electrical Code is a technical reference, and candidates who are not familiar with its organization can lose valuable time searching through unrelated sections. The goal is to understand how the NEC is arranged, recognize which article applies to the question, use tables correctly, and apply the rule to the situation described in the exam question.

The included National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs is intended for study and code-navigation practice before exam day. Candidates can use it to learn the structure of the NEC, including definitions, general requirements, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment rules, special occupancies, special equipment, tables, and installation requirements.

Good open-book preparation includes timed lookup practice. Candidates should work through practice questions, identify the topic, locate the likely code article or table, answer the question, and then review the reasoning. Over time, this helps improve speed, accuracy, and confidence with NEC-based questions.

For Hawaii candidates, it is important to study both code navigation and trade knowledge. Some questions may require quick reference use, while others may rely on electrical concepts, calculations, safety knowledge, or practical understanding of how electrical systems are installed and maintained.

Licensing Steps

Hawaii electrician licensing begins with the state application process through the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division and the Board of Electricians and Plumbers. Candidates seeking the Journey Worker Electrician license must meet the state’s qualification requirements, submit the required application materials, receive approval to test, pass the licensing examination, and complete the remaining licensing steps.

A typical Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician path includes gaining qualifying supervised electrical experience, completing the required electrical academic coursework, collecting experience verification forms from each licensed electrician under whom the candidate received experience or training, submitting the application and required fee to the Board, waiting for application review and approval, scheduling the exam through PSI after approval, taking the Journey Worker Electrician exam, and completing license issuance requirements after passing.

Candidates should keep accurate records of work history, dates of employment, supervising license information, job duties, residential or commercial wiring experience, academic coursework, and any supporting documentation required by the Board. Hawaii requires notarized experience verification forms from each licensed electrician or plumber under whom the applicant received experience or training. Incomplete or deficient applications can delay processing.

The electrician license itself does not authorize a person to contract to perform electrical work. Electrical contracting authority requires the proper contractor license under Hawaii contractor licensing law. Candidates preparing for the Journey Worker Electrician license should understand that the EJ license is an individual trade license, not a contracting business license.

State Requirements

Hawaii law requires a person to hold the proper license before acting as or advertising as a journey worker electrician, journey worker specialty electrician, supervising electrician, supervising specialty electrician, maintenance electrician, journey worker industrial electrician, or supervising industrial electrician. The Board of Electricians and Plumbers regulates individual electrician licenses through Hawaii’s licensing framework.

For the Journey Worker Electrician classification, Hawaii requires at least five years, but not less than 10,000 hours, of residential or commercial wiring experience. The experience must be in the trade under proper supervision. The applicant must also provide satisfactory completion of 240 hours of electrical academic coursework accepted by a University of Hawaii Community College offering an appropriate program of study.

The Journey Worker Electrician license type code is EJ. Hawaii also recognizes additional electrician classifications, including Journey Worker Industrial Electrician, Supervising Electrician, Supervising Industrial Electrician, Journey Worker Specialty Electrician, Supervising Specialty Electrician, and Maintenance Electrician. Each classification has its own requirements, scope, and exam pathway.

All applicants must meet the requirements in effect at the time of application. The Board reviews experience, education, and supporting documentation before exam approval. Hawaii does not reciprocate with any jurisdiction, so candidates with out-of-state experience should be prepared to document that experience according to the Board’s requirements.

Candidates pursuing the Hawaii Journey Worker Electrician license should prepare carefully for both the administrative and testing portions of the process. Experience hours, academic coursework, notarized verification forms, application timing, exam approval, and PSI scheduling all matter. A strong study plan should run alongside a well-organized application plan.
