<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">The Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) is pleased to announce our new partnership with the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies
(NASCLA) and Professional Service Industries (PSI) for examination services! This collaboration introduces a more efficient process for obtaining your Electrical Journeyman or Electrical Master license.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">Examination and Application Procedures<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">Effective immediately, applicants for these licenses will be required to take and pass the applicable NASCLA examination
<b><i>before</i></b> applying for licensure with DOPL. Once applicants pass the examination, the score will be sent directly to DOPL, significantly reducing processing wait times. Additionally, partnering with PSI has increased the number of available seats
and testing sites throughout the state, allowing candidates to quickly schedule and complete exams with shorter wait times. The exam content remains based on the 2017 NEC, and the exam fee is still $75. You may schedule an exam online here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">NOTE: For those currently scheduled for an examination through DOPL, you may contact our office by emailing
<a href="mailto:tradelicensing@dopl.idaho.gov">tradelicensing@dopl.idaho.gov</a> and request a refund of your examination fee if you prefer to schedule through PSI as their availability may allow for you to test sooner.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">To support this change, DOPL has updated the applications for both the Electrical Journeyman and Electrical Master licenses. These new applications are available online
