Open Book Test

The Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Contractor technical examination is an open-book test. The Electrical Business and Law examination is also open book. Candidates may use approved reference materials while following the applicable PSI examination rules.

The approved technical references include the National Electrical Code, NEC, 2023 Edition, as revised and adopted in Oklahoma; Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA); and Ugly's Electrical References.

The National Electrical Code should receive a substantial portion of study time because many technical questions require candidates to locate and apply NEC rules. Important areas include services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductor ampacity, overcurrent protection, raceways, boxes, special occupancies, motors, transformers, lighting, and equipment installation.

Ugly's Electrical References supports study of formulas, conversions, conductor information, electrical terminology, calculations, and other quick-reference concepts. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 supports construction-safety preparation involving personal protective equipment, excavation, ladders, scaffolds, fall protection, tools, workplace illumination, and material handling.

Approved reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before testing. Permanent tabs are permitted. Temporary removable tabs such as Post-it notes are not permitted. Candidates should use their highlighted and tabbed references repeatedly throughout preparation so the location of important topics becomes familiar.

NEC Handbooks and spiral-bound copies of the National Electrical Code are not permitted in the testing center. Candidates should prepare with an acceptable exam-room edition of the 2023 NEC.

A strong open-book strategy is to identify the topic first, choose the correct reference, locate the applicable article, table, formula, or regulation, and then evaluate the answer choices. Efficient reference navigation can be especially important on a 100-question technical examination.

State Requirements

Oklahoma Unlimited Electrical Contractors are unlimited in the type of electrical contracting work they may perform within the authority of the state's electrical licensing laws and regulations.

Applicants must document 12,000 verifiable hours of on-the-job experience in electrical construction work. The experience requirement includes proof of 4,000 hours as a licensed Unlimited Electrical Journeyman.

At least 6,000 hours must consist of commercial or industrial electrical work obtained while employed by a licensed Electrical Contractor. A maximum of 2,000 hours may be satisfied through formal electrical education when the education consists of qualifying classroom hours supported by appropriate documentation.

All Oklahoma Electrical Contractors must be an owner, partner, or officer in the electrical firm. This requirement connects the contractor license to an individual with an appropriate legal role in the business.

After successful completion of the required examinations, the electrical contractor license remains inactive until applicable bond and insurance documentation has been provided. An active Oklahoma electrical contractor must carry a $5,000 corporate surety bond payable to the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board.

An active electrical contractor must also provide evidence of at least $50,000 in commercial general liability insurance. Contractors are responsible for maintaining required insurance to keep the contractor license active.

Electrical contractors are subject to continuing-education requirements. Oklahoma electrical journeymen and contractors must complete 12 hours of continuing education during the 36 months preceding license expiration, including required code-related education.

The 1 Package includes Contractor Compliance Guidance to help customers understand ongoing responsibilities associated with operating an Oklahoma electrical contracting business, including maintaining active licensing, bond, insurance, and applicable business records.
