Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
There are two categories of apprentice electrician
				  training:
1. Apprentice electricians
				who have successfully completed at least two years of electrical school
				approved by the board.
2.
				Apprentice electricians who have successfully completed five hundred
				seventy-six hours of training classes or a professional electrician program
				recognized by the board. An applicant who has prior experience outside of the
				state of North Dakota may take a placement examination to verify the practical
				experience obtained in order to apply credit toward the verification of hours.
				If the applicant fails the placement examination, the applicant is ineligible
				to retake the examination. An appeal may be submitted in writing to the board
				within thirty days.
An apprentice electrician who has not successfully completed
				  training as stated in subsection 1 or 2 is required to be registered with the
				  board, but is not eligible to take the journeyman or class B license
				  examination. If the individual receives a license from another state based on
				  the verification that the majority of practical experience was obtained in the
				  state of North Dakota the individual is not eligible for examination for
				  licensure or a reciprocal license.
