Exam Details

New Jersey’s Class A journeyman electrician credential is handled through the New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. The Class A journeyman electrician license is tied to documented qualifications, including practical experience working with tools in the installation, alteration, or repair of wiring for electric light, heat, or power, and classroom instruction related to the electrical trade.

New Jersey administrative rules state that an applicant for a Class A journeyman electrician license must establish one of the qualifying pathways. One pathway is holding a current valid active license to practice electrical contracting issued by the Board. Another pathway is 8,000 hours of practical experience working with tools in electrical installation, alteration, or repair work performed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, together with a minimum of 576 classroom hours of related instruction. At least 4,000 hours of the practical experience must have been obtained within five years of the application date. The Board also allows an applicant to demonstrate required experience through alternative means to the Board’s satisfaction.

New Jersey’s PSI candidate bulletin is for the Electrical Contractor licensure examination, not a separate journeyman electrician examination. Candidates moving beyond journeyman-level preparation toward electrical contractor licensing must pass the Electrical Contractor, Alarm Systems Electrical Contractor, and Business and Law examinations to qualify for a New Jersey Electrical Contractor license.

The New Jersey Electrical Contractor examination contains 100 questions, requires a passing score of 70%, and has a listed time allowance of 260 minutes. The content outline includes general electrical knowledge, raceways and enclosures, services, feeders, and branch circuits, overcurrent protection, conductors and cables, grounding and bonding, equipment for general use, special occupancies, special equipment and conditions, motors and controls, low voltage and communications circuits, and safety.

Journeyman-level candidates using this Super Combo should prepare broadly. Useful study areas include NEC definitions, electrical theory, services, feeders, branch circuits, conductor ampacity, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, raceways, boxes, cables, panelboards, motors, transformers, equipment for general use, low-voltage systems, safety, special occupancies, special equipment, and electrical calculations. These areas support journeyman-level competence and provide a strong foundation for future contractor-level testing.

Open Book Test

The New Jersey Electrical Contractor examination is open book. The National Electrical Code reference listed for the electrical contractor examination is provided at the test center. Candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or index on the provided reference, and candidates may not use their own copy of the NEC reference book during that examination.

The Business and Law examination is also open book. For that examination, candidates are responsible for bringing their own allowed reference. Business and Law reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination session, but they may not be written in. Additional papers, whether loose or attached, are not permitted. Permanent tabs are allowed for the Business and Law reference, while temporary tabs such as Post-it notes are not allowed.

Open book does not mean the exam is easy. Candidates still need to understand the question, identify the subject, locate the correct reference, read the rule carefully, and apply the requirement under time pressure. A candidate who is familiar with code organization can spend less time searching and more time solving the question.

The National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs included in this Super Combo is intended for study and navigation practice. The tabs help candidates become familiar with major NEC articles, tables, definitions, and frequently used sections. Even when an exam-room NEC is provided by the testing center, personal study with a physical NEC can help candidates build the speed and confidence needed for code-based questions.

Licensing Steps

New Jersey electrical candidates should begin by identifying the credential they are pursuing. The Class A journeyman electrician license and the electrical contractor license are different credentials. Journeyman-level candidates focus on meeting the Board’s practical experience and classroom instruction requirements, while electrical contractor candidates follow the contractor license application and examination process.

A practical Class A journeyman electrician path begins with documenting qualifying electrical trade experience, completing the required related classroom instruction, preparing the application materials, submitting the application to the New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, and completing the Board’s review process. Applicants should maintain accurate records of work experience, employers, classroom training, and dates because the Board uses documentation to evaluate eligibility.

Candidates who later pursue New Jersey electrical contractor licensing must apply to the Board for examination authorization. After approval, the candidate receives an Examination Eligibility Notice with instructions for paying and scheduling the PSI examinations. The candidate must pass the Electrical Contractor, Alarm Systems Electrical Contractor, and Business and Law examinations to qualify for New Jersey Electrical Contractor licensure.

After testing, PSI provides results at the completion of the examination and transmits the results to the Board. Passing the required examinations is an important step for contractor licensing, but the Board completes the licensing process based on the applicant’s full file, documentation, exam results, and compliance with New Jersey requirements.

State Requirements

The New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors regulates electrical contractors and Class A journeyman electricians. The Board’s purpose is to protect public health, safety, and welfare, regulate electrical contracting, and help ensure that electrical contracting is performed safely.

For the Class A journeyman electrician license, New Jersey requires documented qualifications. A key pathway includes 8,000 hours of practical experience working with tools in electrical installation, alteration, or repair work for electric light, heat, or power, performed in compliance with the National Electrical Code. The applicant must also have at least 576 classroom hours of related instruction. Time spent supervising, engineering, estimating, or performing managerial tasks does not count toward the practical experience requirement under this pathway.

At least 4,000 hours of the practical experience must have been obtained within five years of the application date. Applicants may also qualify by holding a current valid active electrical contractor license issued by the Board or by demonstrating required experience through alternative means accepted by the Board.

For electrical contractor licensing, New Jersey uses a state examination process administered through PSI after Board approval. The contractor license path includes electrical technical testing, alarm systems testing, and business and law testing. Candidates should distinguish between journeyman licensure and contractor licensure when selecting study materials, preparing documentation, and planning career steps.

Study materials help candidates build trade knowledge, code familiarity, and calculation skill, but licensing decisions are made by the Board based on the applicant’s qualifications, documentation, and compliance with New Jersey law and administrative rules.

Reference Books

• National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs
  The 2026 NEC is included in this package for code study, article navigation, table review, electrical installation requirements, definitions, calculations, and NEC-based exam preparation. The tabs help candidates practice moving through the code book more efficiently while studying.

Test Information and Study Materials

The New Jersey Journeyman Electrician Super Combo supports a complete preparation routine by combining structured study, code review, calculation practice, and quick recall. The New Jersey Journeyman Electrician Study Guide helps candidates organize preparation around journeyman-level electrical knowledge. The Electrician Calculations Study Guide strengthens math-based preparation. The NEC paperback with tabs supports code navigation. The Journeyman Electrician Flash Cards reinforce important information through repetition.

Electrical calculations should be practiced consistently. Candidates should review Ohm’s Law, power formulas, amperage, voltage, resistance, watts, conductor sizing, branch circuit calculations, feeder concepts, service load concepts, box fill, conduit fill, motor calculations, transformer concepts, overcurrent protection, and voltage drop. Calculation questions can take more time than direct code questions, so repeated practice helps improve both speed and accuracy.

Code navigation should also be part of every study plan. Candidates should practice using the NEC table of contents, index, article numbers, definitions, tables, notes, and exceptions. The goal is to identify the topic quickly and move to the correct section without wasting time. A candidate who understands how the NEC is organized is better prepared for code-based questions and real-world reference use.

Services, feeders, and branch circuits should receive careful attention. Candidates should review service conductors, service disconnects, grounding at services, feeder sizing, branch circuit ratings, required outlets, conductor ampacity, overcurrent protection, and load calculations. These topics connect code knowledge with practical installation skill.

Grounding and bonding are especially important electrical topics. Candidates should review grounding electrode systems, equipment grounding conductors, bonding jumpers, raceway bonding, panel bonding, grounded conductors, separately derived systems, and related safety requirements. Grounding and bonding questions often require careful reading because similar terms can lead to different code requirements.

Wiring methods and materials should be studied consistently. Candidates should review conductors, cables, raceways, boxes, fittings, supports, conductor ampacity, insulation types, flexible wiring methods, underground wiring, and installation conditions. These topics appear frequently in electrical work and are central to NEC-based study.

Motors and controls should also be part of the study routine. Candidates should review motor branch circuits, overload protection, short-circuit and ground-fault protection, disconnecting means, controllers, motor conductors, motor calculations, and related installation requirements. These topics often combine code knowledge, electrical theory, and calculation skill.

Flash cards are useful for shorter study sessions. Candidates can use them to review formulas, definitions, electrical theory, safety concepts, NEC topics, and trade terms before work, after work, during breaks, or between longer study blocks. Flash cards work best when paired with deeper reading, calculation drills, and code lookup practice.

A strong study plan should include scheduled reading, NEC navigation, calculation drills, timed practice, and repeated review of weaker topics. Candidates should avoid studying only familiar material. Journeyman electrician preparation rewards steady practice, careful reading, and the ability to apply electrical knowledge in the field and under exam conditions.
