Deciding to become a Colorado electrician is a great career move. The electrical industry is growing faster than the national average, and in certain booming locations, the demand far outweights the supply of available qualified electricians. Colorado is a growing state, and there will continue to be a need for electricians for years to come.
So how do you go about getting a Colorado electrical license?
According to the state of Colorado government website:
Applicants for a Colorado journeyman electrician's license are required to verify eight thousand hours earned in no less than four years of electrical construction wiring experience, for lights, heat, and power; with a minimum of four thousand hours earned in no less than two years of that time being commercial and/or industrial work. Verification of experience must state the hours and months of the time spent performing residential and commercial/industrial wiring.
