The rules governing the testing and licensing of electrical contractors are not handled at the state level in Indiana. Instead, each county and municipality has their own rules, and each is responsible individually for contractor testing and licensing. The rules are governed by the Indiana Licensing agency, and those interested in getting a journeyman’s electrician license, becoming an electrician trainee, or becoming a contractor themselves, should seek the information pertinent to them at their local City Controller’s Office.
Each county or municipality in Indiana handles electrical licensing slightly differently, although there are a few common requirements. An exam, exam fees, and a minimum amount of work experience as well as references are usually required.
