Exam Details

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry administers personal electrical licensing examinations for electricians. The Class A journeyworker electrician examination is a state examination used to determine whether an applicant has the knowledge needed to work within the scope of the license. Minnesota’s electrical license examination guide explains the basic qualifications, knowledge areas, examination criteria, and format used for personal electrician licenses administered by the department.

The Minnesota Class A journeyworker electrician examination consists of 80 questions. The passing score for electrical license examinations is 70%, and the time allowed to complete the examination is 5 1/2 hours. The examination is multiple choice and is designed to test a candidate’s ability to apply electrical code, electrical theory, calculations, and trade knowledge to practical questions.

Minnesota’s examination guide states that the Class A journeyworker exam uses knowledge areas based on the 2026 National Electrical Code. The guide also states that questions are structured to use words and phrases appropriate to the license and that some questions may include extraneous information. Candidates should be prepared to read carefully, identify the actual issue being tested, and apply the correct code rule or electrical principle.

Important Minnesota journeyworker exam study areas include general electrical theory, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductors, raceways, boxes, equipment for general use, motors, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, calculations, Minnesota laws and rules, and safe installation practices.

Minnesota provides the National Electrical Code, the department’s Laws and Rules Booklet, and an electronic calculator during the examination. Even though reference materials are available during the entire exam, the examination guide explains that applicants should be prepared and should not rely on reference materials to answer every question. Many questions are intended to be answered from knowledge, judgment, code familiarity, and practical understanding.

This Super Combo supports the technical preparation side of the process. The Minnesota Journeyman Electrician Study Guide helps organize broad electrical topics. The Electrician Calculations Study Guide helps students practice math-based electrical problems. The NEC 2026 paperback with tabs helps students practice article navigation. The Journeyman Electrician Flash Cards help reinforce key information through repeated short study sessions.

Open Book Test

The Minnesota Class A journeyworker electrician examination is an open book test. Minnesota’s electrical license examination guide states that applicants are allowed to use the National Electrical Code, a Laws and Rules Booklet, and an electronic calculator during the entire examination. The department provides the reference materials and calculator used for the examination.

Because Minnesota provides the examination reference materials, candidates should not plan to bring personal books, tabs, notes, devices, or other materials into the building unless current DLI instructions specifically allow an item. The exam guide states that no other materials or electronic devices, including cell phones, are allowed in the building. The National Electrical Code copy provided for the exam is in soft-cover format and does not include tabs or other aids.

Open-book electrical testing still requires serious preparation. A candidate who is unfamiliar with the National Electrical Code can lose valuable time searching through definitions, article sections, tables, exceptions, and related rules. A prepared candidate can move more efficiently through wiring methods, raceway requirements, box rules, grounding and bonding provisions, conductor requirements, service rules, feeder rules, branch-circuit requirements, motor provisions, special occupancy provisions, safety topics, and equipment-specific requirements.

The National Electrical Code 2026 paperback with tabs included in this Super Combo is intended for study and code navigation practice before the exam. Tabs can make study sessions more efficient by helping students learn the structure of the NEC and move between major articles. On test day, Minnesota provides the reference materials used during the examination, so the student’s own tabbed NEC is a preparation tool rather than an exam-room reference.

Licensing Steps

The Minnesota journeyworker electrician licensing path begins with registration and supervised electrical work experience. A person performing electrical work without a personal electrical license must be registered with DLI as a registered unlicensed electrician, work within the scope authorized by the employer, and be directly supervised by a licensed journeyworker or master electrician. The registered unlicensed electrician and the supervising licensed electrician must be employed by the same licensed electrical contractor or registered electrical employer.

To become licensed as a journeyworker electrician in Minnesota, an applicant must pass the written examination before applying for the journeyworker electrician license. To take the journeyworker examination, the applicant must provide evidence of sufficient electrical work experience. Minnesota grants credit for qualifying work experience when it meets the department’s requirements, including proper registration, qualifying employment, and acceptable supervision.

For the Class A journeyworker electrician license, Minnesota’s minimum experience schedule identifies a minimum total of 48 months of acceptable experience. The schedule includes a minimum of 24 months in wiring for and installing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment, with additional allowable experience categories such as maintaining and repairing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment. A maximum of one year of experience credit may be allowed for successful completion of a two-year post-high-school electrical course approved by the Board.

After meeting the experience requirements, the candidate applies to take the examination through DLI. The exam application is reviewed before the candidate may schedule an examination date. After approval, the candidate schedules the exam, studies the knowledge areas, prepares with code and calculation practice, and sits for the examination administered by DLI.

After passing the examination, the candidate follows the instructions provided with the passing result letter to obtain the journeyworker electrician license. A practical preparation path includes registering properly, gaining acceptable supervised experience, maintaining work experience records, applying for the exam, reviewing the examination guide, studying the NEC, practicing calculations, building reference navigation skills, using flash cards for recall, passing the examination, and completing the licensing process.

State Requirements

Minnesota regulates personal electrician licenses through the Department of Labor and Industry. A person may perform electrical work in Minnesota when the person is at least 17 years old, is licensed by DLI or registered with DLI as a registered unlicensed electrician, and is a W-2 employee of a licensed electrical contractor or registered electrical employer, or is the owner of a licensed electrical contractor.

A registered unlicensed electrician may perform electrical work without a personal license only when the work falls within the scope authorized by the employer and the work is directly supervised at all times by a licensed journeyworker or master electrician. Minnesota also limits supervision by stating that a licensed electrician may not supervise more than two unlicensed individuals.

For the journeyworker electrician license, Minnesota requires applicants to pass a written examination before applying for licensure. Applicants must provide evidence of sufficient electrical work experience before taking the examination. Journeyworker electrician licenses expire every two years at the end of the month in which the license was originally issued.

To renew a Minnesota journeyworker electrician license, the license holder must complete 16 hours of DLI-approved continuing education, with at least 12 hours related to the National Electrical Code, and pay the renewal fee. Licensees should maintain continuing education records and follow DLI renewal procedures so the license remains active.

Minnesota has reciprocal licensing agreements at the journeyworker electrician level with Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Reciprocity requirements include qualifying conditions and are handled through DLI’s licensing process.
