Do you need a license before you apply?

Usually not. You start by applying to a program or employer first, register as an apprentice with the Electricians’ Board after, and pursue master electrician licensing later.

Electrician apprenticeships in New Hampshire are structured to provide comprehensive training through a combination of on-the-job experience and classroom instruction. Prospective apprentices can apply to programs such as those offered by IBEW Local 2320 in Manchester or IBEW Local 490 in Concord. The apprenticeship typically spans four years, during which apprentices are required to complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training under the supervision of a licensed journeyman or master electrician.

To begin an apprenticeship, applicants must meet certain prerequisites, including possessing a valid government-issued ID and having reliable transportation to job sites and training classes. Once accepted, apprentices must register with the New Hampshire Electricians’ Board. Throughout the apprenticeship, they will log practical field experience and complete necessary classroom training hours, which are crucial for advancing to the journeyman level.

After completing the apprenticeship, individuals can qualify as journeymen, typically requiring an additional year of experience before they can pursue a master electrician license. The New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification oversees the licensing process, ensuring that electricians meet the state's standards for safety and competence.
