Do you need a license before you apply?

Usually not. You start by applying to a program or employer first, then get your apprentice electrician license with proof of enrollment, and pursue journeyperson or master licensing later.

Electrician apprenticeships in Delaware are structured to provide a comprehensive pathway to becoming a licensed electrician. Aspiring electricians typically begin as apprentices, a stage that lasts about four years and requires 8,000 hours of on-the-job training (OJT) under the supervision of a licensed electrician. During this time, apprentices must also complete classroom instruction in an approved program, ensuring they gain both practical and theoretical knowledge. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 313 in New Castle is one of the organizations offering apprenticeship opportunities, with openings currently accepting applications.

The licensing process in Delaware is overseen by the Board of Electrical Examiners. While aspiring apprentices do not need a license to apply, they must provide proof of enrollment in a Board-approved apprenticeship program, a valid government-issued ID, and readiness for potential drug screening and background checks. Once the apprenticeship is completed, individuals can progress to the journeyman level, typically requiring an additional year of experience, and eventually to the master level, which usually takes two more years. Master electricians can act as electrical contractors, although there is no separate state-level contractor license.
