In South Carolina, the \u003cstrong\u003eCAGC SC Trades Certification Program\u003c\/strong\u003e provides Journeyman Electrician trade certification.

The state is working through the adoption process for newer building codes and the 2023 NEC, but the 2026 NEC has not replaced the currently effective South Carolina electrical code as of August 2026.
