In 2020, Utah DOPL introduced an Expedited Licensure rule R156-55b-302c.  This rule allows for apprentices to “test out” of various semesters of school.  

Here are the guidelines and policies for IEC Education of Utah

• All licensed electrical apprentices are eligible to participate in the Expedited Licensure testing process. License verification must be complete prior to scheduling an exam.
• Each test may only be taken once and NO RETAKES WILL BE PERMITTED.
• A one-time $50 fee will be charged upon registration. Students are eligible to continue testing, in sequence, until they fail.
• Placement in the apprenticeship program is determined when the student scores below 75% on the corresponding exam.
• Tests will be administered by appointment only.  The test is written, proctored, and hand-scored in person.  Results will be available within 24 hours.
• The one time $50 fee (less credit card fees) is refundable if notice is given within 2 business days of your scheduled test date. Failure to do so will result in no refund. To cancel or reschedule please email info@iecofutah.com or call the IEC of Utah office at (801) 255-3880.
• For each exam that is passed, an additional $200 fee will be charged to generate a letter of completion.  This letter will be equivalent to an official transcript and is a necessary document when applying for a Journeyman License.
