Licensing for Electricians

To gain your license in most areas of the United States you must be 21 years old, with a high school diploma or GED and have either 5 years on the job experience or have completed a 4-year apprenticeship program. Because electricians work with high voltage electricity, good training is important. Clients want a well trained and responsible electrician working in their home. Someone who is aware of correct procedures, codes and potential dangers (burns, electrocution, fire). An electrician with training in CPR and first aid while not required is a definite bonus.
