Exam Details

The Washington 01 General Journey Level Electrician examination is administered through PSI for the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. Electrician candidates must first apply to Labor & Industries and receive approval before scheduling the PSI examination. After approval, the candidate receives an eligibility notice with an Exam Unique ID used to register for the PSI exam.

The Washington 01 electrician exam is divided into separate sections. Current exam content outlines identify the electrician 01-General exam sections as NEC & Theory and WA Codes. The NEC & Theory section is listed with 60 questions and 3 hours allowed. The WA Codes section is listed with 17 questions and 1 hour allowed. Washington exam materials also identify major load calculations and general trade knowledge as important areas of preparation, and all candidates should be ready for general math and electrical theory computation.

Washington requires a passing score of 70%. Candidates receive their score immediately after completing the examination. If a candidate does not pass, the score report provides diagnostic information by examination type. Candidates must pass all required sections within the allowed testing period established by Labor & Industries and PSI.

The Washington exam requires working knowledge of the National Electrical Code, Washington electrical laws and rules, and a basic level of electrical theory knowledge. Washington law and rule questions are based on Chapter 19.28 RCW and Chapter 296-46B WAC. Candidates should prepare for both national code content and Washington-specific requirements because the state section is a distinct part of the examination.

The 01-General content outline includes NEC introduction, general requirements, wiring and protection, services, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, electrical equipment, motors, HVAC, generators, transformers, equipment over 600 volts, hazardous locations, special occupancies, special equipment, emergency and standby systems, special conditions, communication systems, Washington laws and rules, major load calculations, and general trade knowledge and theory.

This Super Combo is based on the 2026 National Electrical Code for candidates who want current-code study materials and strong NEC navigation practice. Washington’s exam provider instructions control the code edition used for scheduled testing. Candidates should follow the current PSI and Labor & Industries exam information for the exact code edition, reference rules, testing sections, and exam-day requirements.

Open Book Test

All Washington electrical examinations are open book under Labor & Industries and PSI examination rules. Candidates are allowed to bring approved references into the testing center, including the National Electrical Code book, printed copies of Washington State electrical laws and rules, and original copyrighted electrical materials that comply with the examination material rules.

Washington’s reference rules are strict. NEC index tabs are acceptable, but they cannot be removable. Handwritten notes and sticky notes are not allowed. Printed copies of Chapter 19.28 RCW and Chapter 296-46B WAC must be hole-punched and placed in a three-ring binder. Original copyrighted materials may have highlighting, underlining, and permanent index tabs before entering the examination area, but references may not be written in. Post-it, sticky, repositionable, and other removable notes are not permitted.

Candidates may use a silent, nonprinting, nonprogrammable calculator. If the calculator is questioned, the candidate may be required to use a calculator provided at the test site. Scratch paper and pencil are handled under the exam provider’s testing rules and collected at the end of the examination.

Open book does not mean the Washington exam is easy. Candidates still need to recognize what the question is asking, determine whether it belongs in NEC & Theory or WA Codes, locate the correct article, table, RCW section, or WAC provision, interpret the language, and answer within the time allowed. A candidate who is slow with references can lose valuable time even with the books available.

The National Electrical Code 2026 Paperback with Tabs included in this Super Combo is intended for study and code navigation practice. Tabs help candidates become familiar with major NEC articles, definitions, tables, and commonly used sections. Candidates should also practice using Washington laws and rules because the WA Codes section is a separate part of the Washington examination.

Licensing Steps

Washington candidates should begin by confirming that the 01 General Journey Level Electrician certificate is the correct credential for their work goals. Washington also has specialty electrician categories with different scopes of work, experience requirements, and examination requirements. The 01 general journey level certificate is the broad journey level electrician credential.

A practical licensing path begins with becoming an electrical trainee or qualifying through equivalent out-of-state or military experience. Washington requires electricians to meet experience and training requirements before qualifying for examination. A general journey level electrician candidate must complete the required work experience and basic classroom instruction before applying for examination.

For the 01 general journey level exam, Washington identifies 8,000 hours of work experience and 96 hours of basic classroom instruction. No more than 4,000 of the required experience hours may be worked in 4,000-hour specialties. Candidates should use Labor & Industries records and the Verify tool to confirm that their education and work experience are recorded before applying for examination.

After completing the required training and experience, candidates apply to Labor & Industries for examination approval. In-state candidates may apply for examination and submit final affidavits of experience according to the state process. Out-of-state applicants follow the out-of-state application process and submit documentation proving that they meet the required experience and education standards.

Once Labor & Industries approves the application, the candidate receives an eligibility notice with instructions and an Exam Unique ID. The candidate then schedules the correct PSI exam, prepares approved references, brings required identification, follows testing center rules, and completes the required sections. Candidates who fail a section must follow retest waiting periods and retest rules established by Labor & Industries and PSI.

After passing the required sections and completing the state process, the candidate receives the Washington electrician certificate through Labor & Industries. Passing the exam is an important milestone, but certification is issued only after the applicant satisfies the state requirements and completes the required process.

State Requirements

Washington requires a valid electrician certificate issued by Labor & Industries to work in the electrical construction trade. The electrical construction trade includes installing and maintaining electrical wires and equipment used for light, heat, or power, as well as remote control, signaling, power-limited, and communication circuits or systems.

The Washington 01 General Journey Level Electrician certificate allows the holder to perform all types of electrical and telecommunications installations within the authority of the certificate. This credential is different from a specialty electrician certificate, which is limited to a specific scope of work. Specialty categories may require 4,000 or 2,000 hours depending on the category, while the 01 general journey level pathway uses the broader 8,000-hour experience structure.

Washington’s in-state 01 exam requirements include 96 hours of basic classroom instruction and 8,000 hours of work experience. Candidates should ensure that their trainee status, affidavits of experience, classroom instruction records, and supervision records are accurate. Documentation is important because Labor & Industries verifies the applicant’s eligibility before PSI testing.

Washington has reciprocity with Oregon for certain general journey level electrician credentials. Washington reciprocal certificates are generally available to qualifying applicants who obtained an Oregon general journeyman electrician license through examination and an 8,000-hour apprenticeship, or who hold an Oregon General Supervising Electrician license obtained by Oregon examination. Applicants must follow the current reciprocity application process and eligibility rules.

License and certificate holders must maintain their credentials according to Washington renewal and continuing education requirements. Electrical codes, Washington rules, and safe installation requirements change over time, so licensed electricians should stay current with code updates, continuing education, renewal deadlines, and Labor & Industries requirements.

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 Washington Journeyman Electrician Super Combo supports a complete preparation routine by combining structured study, NEC review, Washington code awareness, calculation practice, and quick recall. The Washington Journeyman Electrician Study Guide helps candidates organize preparation around 01 journey level knowledge areas. 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.

Washington candidates should study both NEC-based content and Washington-specific legal material. The WA Codes section makes Washington different from many electrical exams that focus mostly on the NEC. Candidates should review Chapter 19.28 RCW and Chapter 296-46B WAC along with NEC articles and general trade knowledge.

Electrical calculations should be practiced consistently before the exam. Candidates should review Ohm’s Law, power formulas, amperage, voltage, resistance, watts, conductor sizing, branch circuit calculations, feeder concepts, service load calculations, box fill, conduit fill, motor calculations, transformer concepts, overcurrent protection, and voltage drop. Major load calculation review is especially important for Washington electrical preparation.

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 open-book electrical testing.

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

Grounding and bonding are important areas for Washington journey level preparation. 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, cabinets, panelboards, switchboards, and installation conditions. Wiring methods are a large and practical part of journey level electrical work.

Motors, HVAC, generators, transformers, controls, and equipment 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, generator requirements, transformer sizing, transformer protection, luminaires, receptacles, switches, appliances, and related equipment requirements.

Flash cards are useful for shorter study sessions. Candidates can use them to review formulas, definitions, electrical theory, NEC articles, Washington code reminders, safety concepts, 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, code lookup practice, and timed review.

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