So what does it take to become a journeyman electrician in Texas.  It mostly boils down to hands on experience under the supervision of a master electrician.  Here are the exact numbers:

• 8,000 hours of on-the-job training under the supervision of a master electrician
• Passing score on the journeyman electrician examination

8,000 hours. That equals about 4 years.  The electricians in the field may feel like that is forever, but the time provides much needed experience.  It gives them plenty of opportunity to see most all of the problems that present themselves.  In this four years an apprentice electrician will grow and become an expert.

The journeyman's test is not difficult if you head into it well prepared. There are several preparation courses in the Houston area. I would highly recommend that you take one of these.  If at the very least they will put you in the testing mode!

Yours for electrician info,
