How to Become an Electrician in Missouri, MO


Check Electrician Schools in Missouri, MO

Missouri is one of the few states that hasn’t a statewide electrician license. Each county, city or municipality might adopt their own version of NEC and have different licenses and requirements for each one of them.

Also, there is not a statewide electrical inspection.

In order to find out what rules pertain the jurisdiction in which you want to practice, you should call your local building, construction or something similar building and ask them. Unfortunately, we cannot offer instructions for each and every of Missouri’s jurisdictions, but we can offer some general guidelines.

Usually you will need to have some previous experience of the electrical work as an apprentice, under the supervision of a journeyman or master electrician. You then have to apply and be approved to take some exams regarding electrical work. After you pass them, the license is handed to you and you have to renew it periodically and/or acquire some continuing education until the next renewal. Educational hours spent in a classroom might also be required.
