Code Enforcement440 Third Street • Room 302 • Columbus, IN 47201 Electrician ExamDear Applicants: As a cooperative effort between jurisdictions offering licenses for electrical contractors, several area departments have standardized the testing requirements for the licenses. Individual licenses may still be required, but the necessity for retaking tests will be eliminated and qualifying for a license may now be simplified. Each jurisdiction may have individual requirements for a license and some jurisdictions only offer a Master Electrician license. Check with each jurisdiction in which you wish to be licensed for their available types of license. The minimum passing score for these examinations is seventy five percent (75%). Bartholomew County will offer only a Master Electrician license, which allows holders and direct employees to perform work on all types of commercial, apartment and residential (class 1&2 structures). In order to better serve electrical license applicants, we have joined with these other jurisdictions in South Central Indiana to offer more testing dates at a regional site. The examination will be given monthly at Ivy Tech. Thomson Prometric, which issues an accepted standard examination for electricians in many areas of Indiana and across the nation will be offering a full service proctored program at Ivy Tech in Columbus, Indiana. This will provide a standard examination and allow other jurisdictions to extend licensing on a reciprocal basis. The Thomson Prometric electrical examinations are currently based on the 2005 National Electrical Code. The following file should provide you with the necessary information for taking the examinations. If any questions arise about Bartholomew County Licensing, please feel free to call or Email.
