Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.

A Master Electrician may perform all types of electrical work including layout and the design of electrical blue prints. A Master may supervise and/or instruct Journeyman and Apprentices on the job or in a vocational course. A Master can perform work in all sub-classifications and pull permits

License Requirements

Applicants must submit an application to the State Fire Marshal’s Office to verify experience and gain approval to take the exam.

Applicants MUST be at least 18 and must have 2 years/4,000 hours of experience in wiring for light, heat and power of residential and commercial buildings, as well as work experience in an industrial setting. Work history must be specific to identify different settings.

A Master must also be able to design electrical systems and calculate load demands.

There are no state mandated financial requirements for this license.

Reciprocity

The West Virginia State Fire Marshal's Office recognizes reciprocity with several jurisdictions. Regardless of the jurisdiction, each applicant MUST possess the minimum WV requirements for licensure. Reciprocity can only be granted if the individual tested under the current licensing entity and with proof of successfully passing an examination. Individuals who previously held a WV Electrician's License and allowed it to expire, and those who failed an electrical exam administered by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal's Office ARE NOT eligible for reciprocity.
