OPEN BOOK EXAM PREP

Your Book is Your Best Tool

Every Delaware electrical exam is open book, but you have between 2 and 3 minutes per question, and Prov is strict about what's in your books. Permanent tabs, highlighting and pen underlining are allowed. Sticky notes, removable tabs, handwritten notes and add-ins like formula sheets or index stickers aren't.

There isn't time to look up every answer on test day, so My Contractors License teaches you how to navigate the codebook quickly. Highlighting guides show you exactly what to mark, so you can find answers fast.

STEPS TO LICENSURE

Your Path to a Delaware Electrical License

Build your experience. Each license has its own requirement, from 4,000 hours for a residential electrician to 6 years for a master.

Apply to the board. Submit your application through DELPROS, Delaware's online licensing system. You can't schedule your exam until the board approves you.

Study with My Contractors License. Tab and highlight your books with our guides, then take timed practice exams until you're scoring 95% or higher.

Schedule and pass your exam. Prov emails you within 1 to 2 weeks of approval. Test for $100 online or at a Prov test center. If you don't pass, you can retake the exam after 7 days, with up to 3 attempts per approval.

Get licensed and stay current. Renew your license every two years, by June 30 of even-numbered years, and complete your required continuing education.

DELAWARE ELECTRICAL FAQS

What You Need to Know

Which code book is on the Delaware electrical exams?

The Journeyperson exam is based on the 2023 NEC. The Master, Limited and Residential exams are still based on the 2020 NEC, as of Prov's October 2026 bulletin. Delaware adopted the 2023 NEC on Jan 1, 2026, so the other exams may follow. Confirm your exam's edition before you buy books.

What score do I need to pass?

The passing score for every Delaware electrician exam is 75%. Here's what that means for each exam:

Master: 60 out of 80 questions
Limited: 53 out of 70 questions
Journeyperson: 53 out of 70 questions
Residential: 45 out of 60 questions

Do I need board approval before I schedule?

Yes. Apply to the Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners through DELPROS first. Once you're approved, the board emails you, and Prov follows up with registration details.

You don't need approval to start studying, though. Start our course while your application is under review, and you'll be ready to test as soon as you're approved.

How do I keep my license active?

Delaware electrician licenses renew every two years, by June 30 of even-numbered years. Master and limited electricians need 10 hours of continuing education, including 5 on the NEC. Journeypersons and residential electricians need 5 hours, all on the NEC.

What happens if I don't pass?

Complete the MCL program, take the exam, and if you don't pass, we'll refund more than you paid — 110% of your prep course purchase. No other Delaware Electrician exam prep in the market makes that promise.
