How to apply

1

Read the program's own listing

The registry's listing for this program lists its current contact and any requirements the program adds on top of the state's. Open it on L&I ARTS3.

2

Ask when the window opens

Programs recruit on their own calendars. Use the contact in the registry's listing to ask when applications open. Until a source publishes an application window, we show it as Unknown.

See how it counts toward the state license

Washington licenses this work separately from the apprenticeship, and finishing this program is what makes you eligible for its exam. The Washington electrician licensing page lists the fee, the application form and the exam.
