I found this question on a page for electricians on Facebook, and was surprised to see many varying answers.  Most of them were correct and some were guessing trying to help. “Does anyone know if the 8000 hours are required to be completed with a master electrician to apply for the journeyman license since i know most plants have only journeyman and im thinking about doing industrial and want to get my hours to become a journeyman.” Here is how you can apply for the journeyman electrician license: You have to complete 8,000 hours in order to be able to apply for your journeyman license.  The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations(TDLR) has a form attached to the application for your proof of hours.  Reach out to your past employers and ask them to fill out the form.  Answer the application honestly and attach as much supporting documentation as needed or required. Once your application is complete, include your application fee and send it off...

Electrical Code question for the electrical license exam.  This tip is absolutely one of the major tips I've got to share with you. And that is NEC code question exceptions. If you look on the Candidate Information Bulletin from PSI, you will see a major note under examination reference material. It says “when responding to the test questions DO NOT consider code exceptions, unless the test question specifically directs you to consider them”. That is a very critical note, many fellows fall for this trick in these types of NEC code questions. Perfect Example of This Tricky Electrical Code Question Just about every electrician has done overhead service at least once in their lifetime career.  What is your normal average height above a rooftop? If you had a NEC code question that asked you what the minimum distance is, what would you answer? 3  6  8  10  3 feet because that's how we do it all the time. I have done two in my lifetime ...
