Licensing Steps

Oklahoma electrical licensing is administered by the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.

A person pursuing the Residential Electrical Journeyman classification generally begins by gaining qualifying electrical work experience as a registered electrical apprentice under appropriate supervision.

After completing the required experience, the applicant submits the appropriate journeyman application to the Construction Industries Board.

Once the application is reviewed and eligibility is approved, the candidate can schedule the required examination through the authorized testing provider.

After passing the applicable examination and satisfying the remaining licensing requirements, the applicant can complete the licensing process with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.

Licensed journeymen performing electrical work must operate within the scope of the license and under the applicable contractor and supervision requirements established by Oklahoma.

State Requirements

Applicants for the Oklahoma Residential Electrical Journeyman classification must document qualifying electrical construction experience.

The Residential Electrical Journeyman classification requires 4,000 verifiable hours of on-the-job experience in the electrical construction trade as a registered apprentice under the direct supervision of a licensed journeyman or licensed contractor.

Up to 1,000 hours may be satisfied through qualifying formal electrical education. Educational experience used toward the requirement must consist of actual classroom hours and be supported by appropriate documentation.

The residential classification is intended for qualifying residential electrical work. Candidates should understand that the journeyman credential requires both practical trade experience and demonstrated knowledge of electrical codes, calculations, installations, safety, and residential electrical systems.
