**Please note the exam name “Journeyman electrician” refers to the licensing and experience level for a licensed electrician in the state of Texas. The Master electrician exam is the next level of training and skills knowledge. Some states may call the journeyman exam an electrician license or not require a license at all. Please find your state requirements by searching your state website for electrician licensing requirements.
