Utah Electrician Practice Test

What to Expect on the Utah Electrician Exam

Utah has a statewide journeyman electrician license through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL). The exam is administered by Prov: since August 1, 2025, candidates take a single combined Theory and Code exam of 100 questions, 240 minutes, 75% to pass, $85 per attempt, open book with the NEC 2023, plus a separate hands-on practical exam ($85). Utah's 75% passing threshold is higher than the 70% required in most states, meaning you need 75 correct answers out of 100. Utah requires a 4-year apprenticeship (576 classroom hours plus 6,000 on-the-job hours) or 16,000 hours of experience before applying through DOPL. Effective January 19, 2026, first-time candidates submit the Verification of Electrician Experience form directly to Prov with their exam registration. Utah also licenses Master Electricians and Electrical Contractors through DOPL. The exam covers all major NEC 2023 topics with particular emphasis on Article 210 (branch circuits), Article 220 (load calculations), Article 250 (grounding and bonding), Article 310 (conductors), and Article 430 (motors and controllers). Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, Ogden, and St. George are the largest markets. Utah's technology sector, data center construction, and rapid residential growth along the Wasatch Front have created strong ongoing demand for licensed electricians. The practice questions below are aligned to NEC 2023 and the Utah DOPL Prov exam format.
