Electrical Licensure

Choose this banner

 

According to the Massachusetts State Board of Electrical Examiners, before you take the licensing exam you must complete:

  • 8000 HOURS OF EMPLOYMENT (approximately 4 years) as an apprentice under the direct supervision of a holder of a MA Class B Journeyman's license and
  • 600 HOURS OF CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION in electrical code and theory from an approved school based on the current National Electrical Code.

There is no set order for the two requirements listed above. For example, you may start working as an electrical apprentice first, or you may start classes first, or do both concurrently. If you do not have any hands-on training, please consider applying to our CTI program listed below.
