Expedited Licensure
In 2020, Utah DOPL introduced an Expedited Licensure rule R156-55b-302c. This rule allows for apprentices to “test out” of various semesters of school.
Guidelines and Policies
-
Electrical apprentices in Utah are eligible to take each test one time only (no retakes). To take a test, you must have successfully passed the previous semester’s class or test.
-
All tests are administered by appointment only. Tests are written and hand-scored. Results will be available within 24 hours.
-
There is a one-time $50 fee to begin the testing process. This fee allows you to continue testing (1A, 1B, 2A, etc.) until you fail. The testing fee (minus credit card processing fees) is refundable if cancellation notice is given within two business days of the scheduled test date. Failure to provide timely notice will result in no refund. To cancel or reschedule, please email us at info@iecofutah.com or call our office at (801) 255-3880.
-
To pass each test, and take the next, the apprentice must receive a score of 75% or higher.
-
As a student passes each test, there is an additional $200 fee for the formal document stating the completed training hours and verified skills learned that is signed by the IEC of Utah Training Director. (For example, if you pass the 2A test and 2B test, the total fee for maintaining those transcripts is $400.)
