Exam Details

The Michigan Electrical Journeyman examination is administered by PSI for candidates approved through the State of Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes. The Department determines license eligibility, and approved candidates receive instructions to pay for and schedule the examination with PSI.

The Michigan Electrical Journeyman exam includes 80 questions, requires a 75% minimum passing score, and allows 150 minutes of testing time. The exam is computer-based and is offered through PSI testing centers. Candidates receive score information after completing the examination.

The examination is designed to test a candidate’s knowledge of Michigan’s skilled trades regulation act, rules under that act, current electrical code rules, the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act, applicable adopted codes, and the electrical theory related to those codes. Questions on electrical installations 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 Michigan journeyman electrician exam requires both code knowledge and practical understanding. Candidates should prepare for questions that involve interpreting installation conditions, selecting the correct rule, applying electrical theory, using the National Electrical Code, and understanding state-specific rules that apply to electrical work in Michigan.

This Ultimate Combo is based on the 2026 National Electrical Code. Candidates should use the included materials to build NEC familiarity, calculation accuracy, and exam-question confidence. Official exam references and code editions are controlled by the state and testing provider, so candidates should follow the instructions issued for the exam they are scheduled to take.

Open Book Test

The Michigan Electrical Journeyman exam is an open book test. Candidates are responsible for bringing their own approved references to the examination center. Approved references include the National Electrical Code, 2016 PA 407, 1972 PA 230, and Michigan Electrical Code Rules Part 8.

The National Electrical Code book used in the examination may have factory markings or highlights with factory tabs only. Other editions of the NEC may be used during the examination, but the exam questions are based on the code edition identified by the testing provider for the exam. The NEC Handbook is not allowed in the examination room.

All reference material must be bound. Materials printed from the Bureau of Construction Codes website must be bound by three staples on the left edge in separate documents. Highlighting, marking, and tabs in printed documents are not permitted. Candidates may not bring additional loose or attached papers with approved references.

Candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or index references during the exam. Anyone caught marking reference materials during the examination may be reported to the Bureau of Construction Codes. A straight edge rule without calculations is allowed, but electronic devices and unauthorized materials are not allowed in the testing room.

The included National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs is intended for study and code-navigation preparation. During study, candidates can use it to become familiar with definitions, general requirements, wiring and protection, wiring methods, conductors, boxes, cabinets, services, feeders, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, motors, load calculations, special occupancies, lighting, appliances, power-limited circuits, and Chapter 9 tables.

Licensing Steps

Michigan journeyman electrician licensing begins with meeting the state’s apprentice, experience, and application requirements. Candidates must apply through the Bureau of Construction Codes, be approved by the Department, schedule the examination through PSI, pass the Electrical Journeyman exam, and complete any remaining licensing steps required by the state.

A typical Michigan journeyman electrician path includes registering as an electrical apprentice, gaining qualifying supervised experience, maintaining documentation of work hours and supervision, completing any applicable classroom or training requirements, submitting the examination application and fees to the Department, receiving approval to test, scheduling with PSI, passing the exam, and completing license issuance requirements.

Michigan requires the Department to determine a candidate’s eligibility before the candidate schedules the licensing examination. Once the Department approves the candidate for the exam, PSI receives the approval information and provides instructions for payment and scheduling. Journeyman candidates are limited to two exam attempts within one year of eligibility and must reapply with the state if the attempt limit or eligibility period is exceeded.

Candidates should keep accurate records of apprentice registration, work history, supervising license information, employment dates, job duties, training records, and any education used for credit. Complete documentation can make the state application process easier and help avoid delays.

State Requirements

Michigan issues electrical journeyman licenses through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs under the state electrical licensing framework. An individual must be at least 20 years old and must meet the statutory requirements for an electrical journeyman license.

The standard experience pathway requires at least 8,000 hours of experience obtained over at least four years. The experience must be related to electrical construction or maintenance of buildings, electrical wiring, or electrical equipment, and it must be performed under the direct supervision of an individual licensed under Michigan’s electrical licensing law.

Michigan also recognizes a pathway involving completion of a recognized training or education program that is equivalent to 8,000 hours of experience, along with a minimum required amount of experience under the direct supervision of a licensed individual. Applicants using education or training credit should organize documentation carefully because the Department reviews eligibility before authorizing examination.

After a candidate passes the examination, the Department completes the licensing process according to state requirements. Passing the exam is an important step, but the license is issued only through the state’s licensing process after the candidate satisfies all applicable requirements.

Michigan’s electrical licensing structure also includes apprentice electricians, master electricians, electrical contractors, fire alarm specialty technicians, fire alarm contractors, sign specialists, and sign specialty contractors. Candidates preparing for the Electrical Journeyman exam should understand that journeyman licensure is an individual trade license and is separate from electrical contractor licensing authority.
