What Is the Virginia Journeyman Electrician License?

The Virginia Journeyman Electrician license is issued by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) through the Board for Contractors. It authorizes you to perform electrical work under the supervision of a licensed Master Electrician and is a required credential for electricians who want to work legally on electrical systems in Virginia.

The Journeyman license is a critical step in the Virginia electrical licensing pathway. It demonstrates the hands-on competency and code knowledge required for independent electrical work on the job site, and is the foundation for eventually qualifying for the Virginia Master Electrician license — which allows you to supervise journeymen and run your own electrical contracting business.
