General Requirements:
- Pass the Florida electrical licensing examination

Experience Requirements vary by classification:
Electricians and Electrical Contractors must document relevant work experience. The specific hours and on-the-job requirements depend on your classification level.[^3]

Military Credit: If you have relevant military training and education in electrical work, you may receive credit toward experience requirements.[^4]
