Exam Details

The Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman examination contains 100 scored questions. Candidates receive 240 minutes to complete the examination, and a score of 70% correct is required to pass.

The exam evaluates technical knowledge across a wide range of electrical subjects. General Knowledge includes permits and inspections, preservation of structural integrity, needs analysis, and estimating. Candidates should understand the practical considerations involved in performing electrical work while following applicable installation and inspection requirements.

General Electrical Knowledge includes voltage, current, resistance, series and parallel circuits, electrical power, AC theory, three-phase systems, troubleshooting, NEC terminology, temporary wiring, cranes, hoists, elevators, and escalators. Strong fundamentals are important because many code and calculation questions depend on an understanding of electrical theory.

Electrical Installation Requirements focus on approved methods of installing electrical equipment. Candidates should be prepared to work with general installation requirements as well as provisions affecting equipment operating at higher voltages.

Services, Feeders, and Branch Circuits are another major area of preparation. Candidates should review services, voltage drop, feeders, outside branch circuits and feeders, branch circuits, space-heating equipment, snow-melting systems, pipe-heating circuits, air-conditioning equipment, and refrigeration equipment.

Overcurrent Protection requires familiarity with the NEC requirements used to protect conductors and electrical equipment. Candidates should understand how circuit ratings, conductor ampacity, loads, equipment requirements, and overcurrent protective devices work together.

Grounding and Bonding includes general grounding requirements and the sizing and application of grounding electrode conductors and equipment grounding conductors. Because grounding and bonding principles appear throughout electrical installations, candidates should make this an important part of their study plan.

Additional exam areas include Conductors and Cables, Raceways and Boxes, Special Occupancies and Equipment, Low Voltage and Communications, Lighting and Signs, Safety, Motors, and Transformers. Successful preparation requires both electrical trade knowledge and familiarity with the NEC requirements that apply to these systems.

Open Book Test

The Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman examination is an open book test. Approved references may be brought into the testing center and used according to the examination provider's rules.

The technical references include the National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023, Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA), and Ugly's Electrical References. These are the three references included in this rental package.

Reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. Permanent tabs may be used for indexing, while temporary removable tabs are not permitted. Candidates should also follow the testing provider's restrictions concerning written notes and additional papers.

The books in this rental package are already highlighted and tabbed, giving candidates an organized set of references to use throughout preparation. Studying from the same type of organized materials used for exam preparation can help candidates become more familiar with where important information appears.

Open-book testing does not remove the need to understand electrical theory and installation practices. With 100 scored questions and 240 minutes, candidates should avoid searching through every book for every answer. A better approach is to identify the topic first and then determine which reference is most likely to contain the necessary information.

A grounding and bonding question may require the NEC. A construction safety question may require 29 CFR Part 1926. A question involving an electrical formula, conversion, calculation, or commonly used reference table may be approached with Ugly's Electrical References.

Repeated navigation practice can help candidates develop a more efficient routine. Work through questions while using the books, become familiar with major NEC articles and tables, and practice locating OSHA and electrical-reference information before exam day.

Licensing Steps

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board administers electrical journeyman licensing, including the Unlimited Electrical Journeyman category. The licensing path begins with obtaining qualifying electrical construction experience as an apprentice.

An applicant for the Unlimited Electrical Journeyman classification must document 8,000 hours of on-the-job experience in the electrical construction trade while working as a registered apprentice under the direct supervision of a licensed Journeyman or licensed Electrical Contractor.

Oklahoma allows up to 2,000 hours of the experience requirement to be satisfied through qualifying formal electrical education. Educational credit must meet the applicable requirements established for electrical licensing.

Once the required experience has been obtained, the candidate submits the appropriate journeyman application. After the application is approved and the candidate is determined eligible for examination, the candidate receives the information needed to schedule the exam through the authorized testing provider.

The candidate then prepares for and completes the Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman examination. The examination evaluates both electrical knowledge and the ability to apply requirements found in the approved technical references.

After satisfying the examination and licensing requirements, the Unlimited Electrical Journeyman works for an active, licensed Electrical Contractor. Journeyman experience can also become part of the qualification path for electrical professionals who later decide to pursue an Unlimited Electrical Contractor license.

State Requirements

The Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman classification is intended for experienced electrical tradespeople who have completed the applicable apprenticeship and experience requirements and demonstrated the technical knowledge required for journeyman-level electrical work.

The standard experience requirement is 8,000 hours of qualifying on-the-job electrical construction experience. The experience is obtained as a registered apprentice working under the direct supervision of a licensed Journeyman or licensed Contractor.

Up to 2,000 hours may be satisfied through qualifying formal electrical education. Candidates using education toward the experience requirement should maintain the documentation needed to establish qualifying classroom hours.

Apprentices should also maintain their required Oklahoma apprentice registration while obtaining experience that will be used toward licensing. Accurate records of employment and qualifying electrical hours are important when preparing the journeyman application.

After licensure, an Unlimited Electrical Journeyman works for an active, licensed Electrical Contractor. The journeyman credential allows the licensee to perform electrical work within the applicable scope while operating in a supervised contractor environment.

Continuing education is also part of maintaining an Oklahoma electrical license. Electrical Journeymen and Electrical Contractors are required to complete 12 hours of approved continuing education every three years or 36 months preceding license expiration.

The continuing education requirement includes code-update education along with additional approved electrical-industry subjects. Continuing education helps licensees remain familiar with changes to adopted codes, electrical safety, wiring methods, grounding and bonding, calculations, equipment, and other trade-related subjects.
