2009 Pin Party Pictures now on the website!
Please check out our new tab Journeyman Classes for the latest Journeyman upgrade classes available!
Now that we have statewide licensing, it is imperative that you get your 18 hours of continuing education as soon as possible, which must have 6 hours of code update. The remainder is electrical industry related (first aid, CPR, OSHA, etc. does not count). There will be a cutoff date sometime towards the end of the licensing period, so we strongly urge you to take classes now because after the cutoff date you will be on your own.
There will be no last minute classes put on as in the past.

The licensing division of the Examining Board has been getting licenses out the door the past couple months. Over 4000 have been mailed and the rest are either waiting on information, or in the act of being processed. If you have not gotten your license yet and you are not sure if you are missing information, call 866-923-1082.
