It's worth a lot more money

The journeyman license is the required step toward master electrician and running your own contracting business. Here's what it changes on your paycheck.

What electricians earn in the US

  • Apprentice
    Lowest-paid 10% of electricians
    $42,640 – $49,430/yr
  • Licensed journeyman
    median electrician
    $49,430 – $83,940/yr
  • Master electrician / contractor
    top 10% of electricians
    $83,940 – $108,510+/yr
  • +$18,000 a year

    more as a licensed journeyman than as an apprentice, at full-time hours

  • Paid back in one work week

    two months of Pro, covered by the journeyman raise

  • 3 months free

    if you fail after completing at least 80% of the course

Tradespeople Who Made It

Electricians who used WorkUgo to pass their journeyman exam.

Failed the Texas journeyman exam once on calcs alone. Did the calculations block every night for three weeks and passed both parts.

Marcus T.
Journeyman electrician · Houston, TX

I've been wiring commercial for nine years and still took the code portion seriously. The tabbing practice saved me on time.

Dan R.
Journeyman electrician · Phoenix, AZ

My weak spot was grounding and bonding. The app kept pushing me back there until the score moved.

Luis G.
Journeyman electrician · San Antonio, TX

Studied on lunch breaks from my truck. The 20-minute sessions actually fit a job site day.

Daniel G.
General electrician · San Antonio, TX

The mock exam felt like the real PSI test. Nothing on exam day surprised me.

Jake M.
Journeyman electrician · Columbus, OH

Took the exam at 41 after years as an apprentice. Passed on my first try.

Ray B.
General electrician · Fresno, CA
