Re: hours in mn. to take journey man test
You need a total of 48 months of experience in one or more of several categories, making sure you observe the minimums and maximums. Schooling is not required, but if you complete an approved two-year post-high school program, that counts as one year of experience. Here are the categories (I left out categories 1-3 because they only apply to the master electrician exam):
(4) wiring for and installing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment: minimum experience of 24 months, maximum credit allowance of 48 months;
(5) maintaining and repairing electrical wiring, apparatus, and equipment: minimum experience of one month, maximum credit allowance of 24 months;
(6) line work: minimum experience of zero months, maximum credit allowance of three months;
(7) installing elevators: minimum experience of zero months, maximum credit allowance of six months;
(8) laying out and installing wiring, apparatus, and equipment for home appliances: minimum experience of zero months, maximum credit allowance of three months;
(9) wiring and maintaining electronic controls: minimum experience of zero months, maximum credit allowance of three months; and
(10) a maximum of one year of experience credit will be allowed for the successful completion of a two-year, post high school electrical course approved by the board.
