The Washington State Journeyman Electrician exam is one of the most challenging in the country, requiring 8,000 verified hours of supervised electrical work and 96 hours of classroom instruction before you’re even eligible. Candidates with military training or out-of-state licenses may also qualify, provided they meet Washington’s work-hour and documentation requirements. Passing the exam earns your state-issued Journeyman Electrician Certificate, an essential step for advancing your electrical career.

‍

The exam is divided into two parts: 60 questions on the National Electrical Code® (NEC) and electrical theory (3 hours) and 17 questions on Washington State laws and rules (1 hour). To succeed, you must score at least 70% overall. Expect questions on grounding, wiring methods, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, motors, special occupancies, and local RCW 19.28 and WAC 296-46B requirements. Because the test combines national code with Washington-specific regulations, being able to navigate both references quickly is key.
