Electrician Training


Becoming a professional electrician in the United States typically follows a structured progression through apprentice, journeyman, and master electrician roles. This pathway involves a blend of classroom instruction, hands-on training, and examination/ certification requirements, with the specifics varying by state and local jurisdiction.

Apprentice Electrician: Entry-level training under the direct supervision of a licensed journeyman or master electrician, usually through a multi-year apprenticeship program.

Journeyman Electrician: After completing an apprenticeship and required work hours (commonly ~8,000 hours) and passing a state-specific exam, individuals may be certified to work independently in many jurisdictions.

Master Electrician: The highest-level credential, earned after additional experience as a journeyman, required advanced training and hours, and passing the master electrician exam. This credential qualifies an electrician to supervise others and obtain permits.

Because licensing requirements vary by state — including work experience, classroom hours, and exam requirements — training content must be tailored to meet the needs of diverse certification frameworks.
