Licensing Steps

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board administers electrical journeyman licensing, including the Unlimited Electrical Journeyman classification.

The licensing path begins by obtaining qualifying experience in the electrical construction trade. Applicants typically gain this experience while registered as electrical apprentices and working under the required supervision.

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

Up to 2,000 hours of the experience requirement may be satisfied through qualifying formal electrical education. Educational credit must consist of qualifying classroom hours supported by the required documentation.

After accumulating the required experience, the applicant submits the appropriate journeyman application to the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board. Once the application is approved and the applicant becomes eligible for testing, the candidate can schedule the required examination through the authorized testing provider.

The candidate then completes the Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman examination. Passing the examination demonstrates the required level of technical knowledge for the journeyman classification.

After completing the licensing requirements, an Unlimited Electrical Journeyman works for an active, licensed Electrical Contractor. Journeyman experience can also become part of the career path for electricians who later pursue Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Contractor licensing.

State Requirements

The Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Journeyman classification is designed for experienced electricians who have completed the applicable experience requirements and demonstrated technical competency through the licensing examination.

The standard qualification requires 8,000 hours of qualifying electrical construction experience obtained as a registered apprentice under the required supervision. Oklahoma residents using apprentice experience toward licensure must maintain the appropriate apprentice registration for that experience to count.

Qualifying formal electrical education can account for up to 2,000 hours of the experience requirement. Candidates using education toward licensing should maintain transcripts and other documentation needed to establish qualifying classroom hours.

Electrical apprentices and license applicants should maintain accurate records of their work experience. Documentation may be required to verify the type of electrical work performed, hours accumulated, employment relationship, and supervision received.

After licensure, an Unlimited Electrical Journeyman performs electrical work while working for an active licensed Electrical Contractor. The journeyman classification allows the electrician to perform work within the applicable scope while remaining part of the licensed contractor structure required by Oklahoma.

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

The continuing education requirement includes six hours of applicable code updates.
