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 NDSEB after, and pursue contractor licensing later.

North Dakota licenses electrical contractors uniformly at the state level through the North Dakota State Electrical Board. Aspiring apprentices do not need a license before applying to an IBEW local or JATC, as they must register as apprentices and work under the personal supervision of a licensed electrician.

Once hired, register as an apprentice electrician with the NDSEB. Log supervised on-the-job training hours under a licensed electrician and complete required classroom instruction as part of apprenticeship.

Contractor licensing comes later. Progress from registered apprentice to journeyman electrician via experience and examination, then advance to master electrician, and register as a contractor with the Secretary of State for jobs over $4,000.
