Notes
Kentucky licenses electricians and master electricians through the Division of Electrical. Current state materials provide separate initial-license applications for electricians and master electricians, and the division's 2023 exam notice says candidates now register for Kentucky electrical exams through PROV under the NASCLA exam system. Verified against Kentucky DHBC electrical materials on 2026-03-09.
