Certificate of Completion

Become a licensed Electrician in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Wentworth's Journeyman Electrician program is an accelerated, four-course sequence designed to meet the 600-hour academic classroom educational requirements of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the Journeyman Electrician License. A variety of theoretical and applied concepts will be covered in each course, with the overarching intent of preparing to pass the Journeyman Electrician License Exam. Each class will devote a significant portion of time covering the Massachusetts Electrical Code.

Please Note: Wentworth’s program provides the 600 hours of required classroom instruction focused on code, theory, and safety — the curriculum you need to be eligible for the state electrician exam. This is primarily delivered in a traditional classroom setting, with occasional lab sessions.

We do not provide the 8,000 hours of on-the-job training required by the state. You’ll need to secure that experience separately by working full-time under a licensed electrician. See FAQs for more information.
