Exam Details

The Minnesota Class A Journeyworker Electrician license examination is administered by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. The examination application must be approved by the department before a candidate may schedule an exam date. Walk-ins are not permitted, and applicants must follow the scheduling instructions provided after approval.

The Class A Journeyworker Electrician examination consists of 80 questions. The passing score for Minnesota electrical license examinations is 70%, and all examination questions have the same point value unless stated otherwise. The time allowed to complete the examination is 5½ hours.

The 2026 National Electrical Code became effective July 1, 2026, and is the code edition used for questions in Minnesota electrical license examinations. Minnesota’s examination guide identifies the Class A journeyworker examination knowledge areas by NEC chapters and practical electrical subject areas. Candidates should be familiar with code requirements that apply to the scope of the Class A Journeyworker Electrician license.

The examination includes multiple-choice questions that require a candidate to demonstrate mastery of electrical knowledge, code application, formulas, and practical reasoning. Questions may involve more than simple keyword lookup. Some questions require applying multiple code rules, interpreting installation conditions, or completing electrical calculations.

Minnesota examination results are generally emailed to applicants within two weeks after the exam. Result information is not provided by telephone. Passing result letters include directions for obtaining the license, while failing result letters include directions for applying again.

Open Book Test

The Minnesota Class A Journeyworker Electrician exam is an open book test. The Department of Labor and Industry provides a soft-cover copy of the National Electrical Code, a Laws and Rules Booklet, and an electronic calculator for use during the entire examination. The provided National Electrical Code does not include tabs or other aids.

Candidates are not allowed to bring other materials or electronic devices into the building. The department-provided reference materials are available during the examination, but candidates should not rely on reference lookup for every question. Minnesota’s examination guide states that the majority of questions are intended to be answered without needing to refer to reference materials.

Open book testing still requires serious preparation. Candidates must understand how the NEC is organized, how to recognize the subject of a question, how to apply electrical theory, and how to work through calculations. Slow searching can use valuable exam time, especially on questions that require multiple steps or more than one code rule.

The included National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs is intended for study and code-navigation preparation before exam day. During study, candidates can use it to become familiar with definitions, general requirements, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, communications systems, tables, and calculation-related provisions.

Because the exam center provides the code book used during testing, the tabbed NEC included in this package should be treated as a preparation tool. The goal is to build familiarity with the 2026 NEC before test day so the candidate can work more efficiently with the department-provided reference during the official exam.

Licensing Steps

Minnesota journeyworker electrician licensing is handled through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Candidates must meet the department’s experience requirements, apply for the examination, receive approval to test, pass the Class A Journeyworker Electrician examination, and complete the licensing steps provided after passing.

A typical Minnesota Class A Journeyworker Electrician path includes registering with DLI as an unlicensed individual when required, working as a W-2 employee of a licensed electrical contractor or registered electrical employer, gaining qualifying supervised electrical experience, maintaining accurate experience records, submitting the personal electrical license examination application, receiving department approval, scheduling the exam, taking the examination, and following the license issuance instructions after receiving a passing result.

Applicants must have their examination application approved before scheduling an exam date. Dates scheduled without written approval are rejected and not scheduled. Applicants who fail an examination must submit a new application and examination fee before being approved for reexamination.

Candidates should keep accurate records of work history, employer information, supervised electrical experience, registration status, technical training, military experience when applicable, and any education used for experience credit. Complete documentation can help make the application process smoother.

State Requirements

Minnesota requires individuals performing electrical work to be properly licensed by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry or registered with DLI as a registered unlicensed electrician. Electrical work is generally performed as a W-2 employee of a licensed electrical contractor or registered electrical employer, or by the owner of a licensed electrical contractor when applicable.

For a Class A Journeyworker Electrician license, Minnesota requires a minimum total of 48 months of qualifying experience. The listed experience categories include wiring for and installing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment; maintaining and repairing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment; and limited credit allowances for certain related experience categories. 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 department.

Minnesota’s examination guide also notes that technical training credit is granted only for successful completion of programs approved by the department before completion by the applicant. Technical training credit is not approved on an individual applicant basis. Applicants with military electrical experience may be eligible for experience credit and should include appropriate military documentation with their application.

Passing the Class A Journeyworker Electrician exam is an important licensing step, but the candidate must still follow the Department of Labor and Industry’s instructions for license issuance. The department reviews qualifications, administers the examination process, and issues the personal electrical license when requirements are satisfied.

Minnesota also has reciprocal licensing agreements at the journeyworker electrician level with certain states. Reciprocity rules depend on the license type, examination history, participating state, and current Minnesota requirements. Candidates using a reciprocity path should follow the DLI reciprocity application instructions.
