Utah journeyman electrician exam: format, NEC edition and fee
Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) licenses journeyman electricians, and Prov runs the exam. These facts come from Prov's Utah electrical bulletin (effective 31 Oct 2026, revised 4 Nov 2026) and DOPL's exam page, read on 7 November 2026. Utah sets its own rules and can change them, so confirm with DOPL and the bulletin before you book.

What it covers
Utah weights theory more than most states: voltage, current, resistance, power and voltage drop make up 30 of the 100 questions. Grounding and bonding (10), overcurrent protection (9) and services, feeders and branch circuits (8) are next, and 4 questions cover Utah's laws and rules. Our journeyman exam outline maps these into the twelve areas states share.

How our practice exam fits
Our practice exam is 100 questions in 240 minutes on the 2023 NEC, close to Utah's written exam, but it is not Utah's exam. It does not cover Utah's laws and rules or the practical exam. Because Utah leans on theory, spend extra time on the calculation sets.
