How Long Does it take to Become a Certified Electrician?

Some of the steps required to obtain the certification are getting the proper education or training, getting a passing score on the licensing exam and passing a background check.
There are certified electrician applications specific for commercial work, residential work and industrial electrical systems. Certified electricians are usually called upon to do the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, inspection and repair on industrial and commercial electrical systems.
Certified electricians must know about:
- Underground and overhead wiring
- Wire sizing and voltage drop
- Grounding and bonding
- Household wiring (NEC)
- Testing for ground fault, open neutrals, hot wires, continuity of circuits, polarity, the ampacity of conductors and voltage drop
Certified electricians may also have specialties in the following:
- Building wire (service and feeder wiring)
- Residential (lighting installation)
- Commercial/industrial power distribution systems
- Low voltage (CAT I) wiring
- Conduit and wire locators
- Photovoltaic systems (solar electric)
- Renewable energy systems (wind, hydro, etc.)
- Telecommunications (CATV Wiring)
Licensed Electrician vs. Certified Electrician
A certified electrician has passed an exam that is certified by the National Electrical Contractors Association. A licensed electrician, however, is someone who has met the requirements for licensing in their state.
Certified electricians are professionals who have received their certification through a reputable institution. This way, you can ensure that certified electricians are qualified to do electrical work in your home or business.
Certified electricians spend years learning all aspects of electrical wiring. They can ensure that everything in an installation is up to code and safe for usage. Licensed electricians may have more experience within one type of electrical work, but certified electricians are professionals who can complete all wiring aspects.
Licensed electricians are not necessarily certified, but they do have a license from the state which allows them to work with electrical wiring and install circuits. Licensed electricians may be certified in one or more types of electrical wiring, such as residential or commercial wiring. Certified electricians can complete a higher level of tasks than general licensed electricians.
A certified electrician is a licensed electrician that has been certified by the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA). A certified electrician will have completed an apprenticeship or journeyman degree. A simple online search will help you find a certified electrician near you.
