What to Expect on the Florida Electrician Exam

Florida's Certified Electrical Contractor (EC) license is one of the more demanding state exams in the country. Administered by Pearson VUE, it has two separate parts: a 100-question Technical exam (5 hours, 75% passing) and a 50-question Business and Finance exam (2.5 hours, 75% passing). Both are open book. You need 4 years of documented electrical experience and must apply through the Florida DBPR before scheduling with Pearson VUE. The exam fee is $85. The Technical exam draws heavily from Articles 220 (load calculations), 230 (services), 250 (grounding), 310 (conductors), and 430 (motors). The Business exam covers Chapter 489 Florida Statutes, contractor licensing rules, lien law, workers' comp, and OSHA. Florida has no statewide journeyman license. The EC license is a contractor credential, so passing candidates go directly from experience to contractor. Florida electricians earn an average of $53,060 per year. The practice questions below cover all NEC topics on the Pearson VUE Technical exam.
