Exam Details

The NASCLA Accredited Examination for Journeyman Electricians is part of the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program. NASCLA developed its electrical examinations around occupational analyses and input from electrical subject matter experts to represent the knowledge and skills used by electricians across participating jurisdictions.

The Journeyman Electrician examination focuses on the technical knowledge associated with electrical installation, maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, and code compliance. Candidates should prepare for both reference-based questions and problems that require understanding of electrical theory, calculations, safety principles, and practical electrical applications.

Major areas associated with NASCLA Journeyman Electrician preparation include:

• Interpreting Plans and Specifications
• Basic Electrical Safety
• Electrical Theory and Principles
• Testing and Troubleshooting
• General Code Requirements
• Wiring and Protection
• Wiring Methods and Materials
• Equipment for General Use
• Special Occupancies and Special Equipment
• Special Conditions and Communication Systems

National Electrical Code preparation should include services, feeders, branch circuits, conductor requirements, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, raceways, boxes, wiring methods, motors, equipment, special occupancies, and communication systems. Candidates should also spend dedicated study time on electrical theory, safety, testing, troubleshooting, and plan interpretation.

NASCLA examination applications are completed through the National Examination Database. Approved NASCLA examination applications are valid for one year from the date of approval, and candidates receive up to three attempts during that eligibility period. Once an application is approved, candidates receive scheduling information for the NASCLA examination through PSI.

After passing, NASCLA examination results are stored in the National Examination Database. Candidates can use that system to transmit a transcript electronically to participating regulatory agencies, including agencies that accept the NASCLA examination as a trade-exam waiver.

Open Book Test

The NASCLA Accredited Journeyman Electrician examination is an open book test. Candidates may use authorized reference materials under the rules established for the examination.

Open-book testing makes reference navigation an important part of preparation. Candidates still need to understand the subject well enough to identify what a question is asking, determine which reference contains the needed information, find the correct section or table, and apply that information efficiently.

All rental books in this package are highlighted and permanently tabbed. Highlighted material draws attention to useful provisions and technical information, while permanent tabs create recognizable navigation points throughout the books. Candidates should use these features during regular study so that the organization becomes familiar before examination day.

The 2023 National Electrical Code should become one of the most frequently used references during preparation. Practice using the NEC index, Article 100 definitions, chapters, articles, tables, and cross-references. Learn how broad code rules interact with requirements that apply to particular equipment, occupancies, wiring methods, and installation conditions.

OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 should be used for construction-industry safety preparation. OSHA 29 CFR 1910 covers general-industry workplace requirements, while NFPA 70E focuses specifically on electrical workplace safety.

Ugly's Electrical References and Understanding Electrical Theory for NEC Applications support formulas, calculations, theory, and practical problem solving. NFPA 72 supports review of fire alarm and signaling-system requirements.

A useful study method is to work practice questions with the highlighted and tabbed references beside you. Identify the topic first, choose the most appropriate book, navigate to the relevant section, locate the supporting information, and then solve or confirm the answer.

Licensing Steps

Passing the NASCLA Journeyman Electrician examination does not automatically issue an Idaho Journeyman Electrician license. Idaho licensing is administered through the Idaho Electrical Board and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.

1. Review Idaho Journeyman Electrician qualification requirements. Determine whether you qualify through an approved electrical apprenticeship and work-experience pathway or another recognized experience route.
2. Complete the required training and electrical work experience. Idaho requires documented supervised electrical installation experience before Journeyman Electrician licensure.
3. Prepare for the examination. Study the 2023 NEC, electrical theory, OSHA requirements, NFPA standards, calculations, troubleshooting, equipment, and specialty systems.
4. Apply for the NASCLA examination. Complete the NASCLA application process through the National Examination Database.
5. Schedule the examination through PSI. Approved NASCLA candidates receive scheduling instructions after application approval.
6. Take and pass the Journeyman Electrician examination. Follow the current testing rules regarding identification, authorized references, and exam-center procedures.
7. Apply for Idaho licensure. Submit the applicable Journeyman Electrician license application through the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses.
8. Provide supporting documentation. Submit the work verification, apprenticeship completion records, examination information, or other materials required for your licensing pathway.
9. Maintain the license. Follow Idaho's current renewal and continuing-education requirements after licensure.

State Requirements

Idaho Journeyman Electrician licensing is regulated by the Idaho Electrical Board through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. The Board regulates electrical contractors, master electricians, journeyman electricians, apprentices, and limited electrical classifications.

One Idaho Journeyman Electrician pathway requires completion of a Board-approved electrical apprenticeship program together with 8,000 hours of supervised electrical installation work. Applicants using this pathway must document completion of the approved program and the required work experience.

Idaho also provides an experience-based pathway for applicants who have not completed the approved apprenticeship-school route. That pathway requires 16,000 hours of qualifying electrical experience.

Idaho does not count every type of electrical-related employment toward the Journeyman Electrician experience requirement. Work in appliance repair, motor winding, and communications does not count toward the experience used to qualify for the journeyman examination or Journeyman Electrician license.

For the apprenticeship-based pathway, Idaho's current Journeyman Electrician application requires a work-verification form demonstrating 8,000 hours of supervised electrical installation work. Those qualifying hours may be obtained inside or outside Idaho.

Applicants should maintain accurate records of employers, supervisors, dates worked, and the type of electrical installation experience performed. Documentation is important because the licensing authority must determine whether the submitted work satisfies Idaho's requirements.

NASCLA identifies the Idaho Electrical Board and Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses as a participating agency that accepts the Journeyman Electrician examination. NASCLA examination acceptance does not remove Idaho's separate experience, application, and licensing requirements.

Idaho's licensing process also includes reciprocal pathways for qualifying electricians licensed in certain other jurisdictions. Reciprocity is separate from the NASCLA pathway and has its own license-verification and eligibility requirements.
