Classes Required for Electrical TraineesAn Electrical Trainee's certificate must be renewed every two (2) years. Available basic classroom instruction classes:
Classroom instruction hours required for renewalElectrical trainees must have completed at least 16 hours of approved basic classroom instruction to renew — that's eight (8) hours for each year of the prior two-year certification period. Note: Please see the January 2007 Electrical Currents Newsletter and the January 2008 Electrical Currents Newsletter for more information on this requirement. What type of courses?The courses approved for electrical trainee renewal are different from the courses approved for electricians, electrical administrators and master electricians for renewal. Make sure the courses you take for your electrical trainee renewal are identified as “Basic Classroom Instruction.” No internet or correspondence-based courses will be approved. Note: Courses approved for electrician, electrical administrator and master electrician renewal requirements will not be credited to an electrical trainee certificate. Avoid late renewalEven if you have not completed the required basic classroom instruction as your renewal date approaches, you can submit your renewal application and fee to L&I. Your certificate will become inactive. Inactive status allows you to avoid the late penalty that results from being late. You cannot, however, work on any electrical job as your certificate is inactive until you complete your basic classroom instruction and inform L&I.
