Apprentice electrician

There are two categories of apprentice electrician training: 1. Apprentice electricians who have successfully completed at least two years of electrical school approved by the board. 2. Apprentice electricians who have successfully completed five hundred seventy-six hours of training classes or a Professional Electrician Program (PEP) recognized by the board. An applicant who has prior experience outside of the state of North Dakota may take a placement examination to verify the practical experience obtained in order to apply credit toward the verification of hours. If the applicant fails the placement examination, the applicant is ineligible to retake the examination. An appeal may be submitted in writing to the board within thirty days. An apprentice electrician who has not successfully completed training as stated in subsection 1 or 2 is required to be registered with the board, but is not eligible to take the journeyman or class B license examination. If the individual receives a license from another state based on the verification that the majority of practical experience was obtained in the state of North Dakota the individual is not eligible for examination for licensure or a reciprocal license.
