Electrician

M
ost electricians attend an extensive apprenticeship program, either through a union or an independent contractor. Most states and many communities require electricians to be licensed, so the training is rarely optional. While becoming an apprentice usually requires some form of basic registration, becoming a journeyman or a master electrician typically requires passing a written exam and completion of a certain number of work hours. In Texas, for example, a journeyman electrician receives a license after 8, 000 hours of on-the-job training under a master electrician and by passing a written exam.
