What to Expect on the Alabama Electrician Exam
Alabama has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Electrical Contractors Board of Alabama (ECBA). The exam is administered by Prometric: 80 questions, 240 minutes (4 hours), 75% passing score, open book with NEC 2023 permitted, and a $115 exam fee. Alabama's 75% passing threshold is higher than most states, which means you need to get 60 out of 80 questions correct. The journeyman license requires 8,000 hours of documented on-the-job training under a licensed electrical contractor before you can sit for the exam. Alabama also licenses Electrical Contractors through the ECBA, which requires passing separate trade and business and law exams. The NEC articles most frequently tested on the Alabama exam include Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding and bonding), Article 310 (conductors), and Article 430 (motors and controllers). Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery are the largest markets in the state. Alabama's growing manufacturing and defense sectors create steady demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Alabama ECBA Prometric exam format.
