Contractor License Options

Which Virginia Contractor License is right for you?

NASCLA Accredited License The NASCLA Accredited license is recognized for commercial construction in multiple states, including Virginia. The NASCLA Electrical Examination Program helps you avoid taking multiple state exams if you wish to get licensed in multiple jurisdictions. In addition, once you take an NASCLA Electrical Exam, you can apply to other accepting states for the corresponding license without taking their state licensing exam.

Journeyman Electrician You’re licensed to install, modify, and maintain electrical controls, systems, and apparatus, typically under the supervision of a master electrician. A journeyman electrician cannot independently contract with clients or run their own electrical business without a master electrician's license.

Master Electrician Possesses more experience, has passed a more comprehensive exam, and may perform all the duties of a journeyman electrician but is licensed to plan and lay out electrical projects, supervise journeyman electricians and apprentices, and work independently. They can also own and operate their own electrical contracting business.

A journeyman electrician must work for at least one year under a master electrician before they are eligible to apply for a master electrician license in Virginia (unless they have 10 years of overall experience).
