What to Expect on the Delaware Electrician Exam

Delaware has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation. The exam is administered by Prometric: 70 questions, 180 minutes (3 hours), 75% passing score, open book, and a $100 exam fee. Delaware currently tests on NEC 2020 rather than NEC 2023, which is notable for candidates who have been studying the most recent code edition. Confirm the current NEC edition with the Division of Professional Regulation before your exam date, as Delaware's adoption timeline may change. The 75% passing score requires answering at least 53 of 70 questions correctly. Delaware requires 8,000 hours of documented electrical work experience before applying for the journeyman license. The exam covers all major NEC topics including Article 210 (branch circuits), Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding), Article 310 (conductors), and Article 430 (motors). Wilmington, Dover, and Newark are the largest markets in the state. Delaware's proximity to Philadelphia and the broader Mid-Atlantic corridor creates steady demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below cover all NEC topics tested on the Delaware Prometric exam.
