What are the Different Levels of Electrician Licensing? When a home owner feels the need to inspect his electrical system, unless already trained in electrical repair, it’s a good idea to find an electrician who is an expert. Since a faulty electrical system could be a threat to the safety of everybody in the home, it’s important for an electrician to have the proper education and training for the job. When an electrician is licensed, it means he has passed the following levels of education and training. There are 4 different stages to get an electrician license. Apprentice Electrician The one who is new to the job is considered to be an Apprentice. He needs to complete 2 years of training under supervision. After passing an electrical examination, he will become a Wireman Electrician. Wireman Electrician A Wireman Electrician is allowed to work in any inhabited home unsupervised. But the electrician is not licensed to work in a commercial location without Journeyman Electrician supervision.
