In 2020, Utah DOPL introduced an Expedited Licensure rule: R156-55b-302c.  This rule allows for apprentices to take approved exams to either satisfy the education requirement or determine placement in an apprenticeship program.  

Here are the guidelines and policies for IEC Education of Utah:

• Tests will be administered by appointment only.  The test is written, proctored, and hand-scored in person.  Results will be available within 24 hours.
• A one-time $50 fee will be charged upon registration. Students are eligible to continue testing, in sequence, until they fail.  
• After registering, you must contact our office within two weeks to schedule your testing appointment. Please do not register for the exam unless you are prepared to take it within two weeks of signing up. If we do not hear from you within one month of registration, your testing request may be canceled and a new registration may be required.
• Placement in the apprenticeship program is determined when the student scores below 75% on the corresponding exam.
• 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.
• Notice to cancel or reschedule must given within 2 business days of your scheduled test date. 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.
