Electrical work can be complex and dangerous without the proper training, which is why it’s essential to know what type of electrician you need for the job.
Understanding Electrician Certifications
Not all electricians are the same. They hold different levels of certification that determine what kind of work they’re qualified to perform. One of the most common and trusted certifications is that of a Journeyman Electrician.
What Is a Journeyman Electrician?
A Journeyman Electrician is a licensed professional who has:
- Completed a formal training program
- Worked as an apprentice under a licensed electrician for several years
- Passed a rigorous licensing exam
This certification allows them to work independently on most electrical installations and repairs, including residential, commercial, industrial, and utility projects.
According to Chapter 103 of the Iowa Code, a Journeyman Electrician is defined as:
“A person having the necessary qualifications, training, experience, and technical knowledge to wire for or install electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment, and to supervise apprentice electricians and who is licensed by the board.”
