Requirements To Obtain a 2026 National Electrical Code Contractor License
The NEC exam is not a standalone national test—you take it as part of becoming a licensed electrician (Journeyman, Master, or Electrical Contractor). Requirements differ by state, but the common elements include:
- Documented electrical work experience (usually 4–8 years depending on license level). Many states require 8,000 hours for Journeyman and additional hours for Master.
- High school diploma or GED (required in most states).
- Application to your state licensing board with proof of experience, fees, and identification.
