The full Florida Journeyman Electrician course is 500 questions across 5 blocks sized to the 11 subjects of the GITS EBE1A outline — General Theory, NEC Chapters 1 through 9 and Safety — written from official sources: NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023, and OSHA's 29 CFR 1926, with the formula and every constant stated in the theory and calculation questions. The two handbooks on the GITS list (American Electricians' Handbook and Ugly's Electrical References) are named by title only and are not used as sources.
Exam structure, topics, who needs it and official resources.
Florida does not issue journeyman electrician licenses at the state level: counties do, under Florida Statutes 489.5335, and 16 of them give the Global Independent Testing Services (GITS) exam for the trade. Its Journeyman Electrician exam, EBE1A, is 75 questions in 3 hours, open book, with 75% needed to pass. The questions cover General Theory, Safety and every chapter of the National Electrical Code, and the main reference is NEC 2023. Practice it in the free sample above: no sign-up, with a written explanation on every question.
In Florida a journeyman electrician license comes from a county, not from the state board. Florida Statutes 489.5335 lets a county license a journeyman electrician who scored at least 75% on a proctored exam and also has a registered apprenticeship or 12,000 hours of on-the-job training plus the Florida Building Commission coursework, and it makes every county recognize a journeyman license issued by another Florida county — so the license you earn in one county is accepted across the state. The exam widely used for it is GITS's EBE1, given by 16 counties: Broward, Palm Beach, Orange, Duval, Pinellas, Pasco, Brevard, Lee, Lake, Martin, Monroe, Nassau, Charlotte, Putnam, St. Lucie and Volusia. The All-Counties sheet is EBE1A; Broward (EBE1B), Palm Beach (EBE1C), Orange (EBE1O), Pinellas (EBE1Pi) and Duval (EBE1Du) issue their own versions with the same outline and references and a different eligibility paragraph. You apply to your county licensing agency first; GITS schedules the exam once it has the agency's approval.
The sheet gives the number of questions for each subject: General Theory 10; NEC Chapter 1 — 7, Chapter 2 — 6, Chapter 3 — 9, Chapter 4 — 12, Chapter 5 — 5, Chapter 6 — 6, Chapter 7 — 3, Chapter 8 — 3, Chapter 9 — 5; and Safety 9. Read it as a plan. 56 of the 75 questions sit in the code itself, and Chapter 4 alone — cords, switches, receptacles, panelboards, luminaires, appliances, motors, air-conditioning equipment, generators and transformers — carries 12, more than any other subject. Chapter 3 adds 9 on wiring methods, ampacity and box fill, and Chapter 9 adds 5 on its tables: conduit fill and conductor properties. General Theory is the arithmetic of the trade — Ohm's law, power and power factor, series and parallel circuits, three-phase and transformer relations, voltage drop — and Safety comes from OSHA's construction standards in 29 CFR 1926, mostly the electrical rules of Subpart K plus ladders, scaffolds, fall protection and excavations.
The approved references on EBE1A are NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, 2023 edition, and the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1926 (OSHA), 2010, together with two commercial handbooks — the American Electricians' Handbook and Ugly's Electrical References. GITS's FAQ allows those references and a non-programmable calculator; the only writing allowed is on the exam itself, notes are seized and books are checked for writing. GITS also says the local building departments it tests for review and approve its questions, except the estimating and sizing questions, which carry all the information you need. Bring the 2023 NEC, not the 2026 edition: many section numbers moved in 2026, and the exam's references follow 2023. Open book helps with look-ups, not with speed: 180 minutes for 75 questions is 2.4 minutes each, and the load, motor and conduit-fill questions take longer than that.
Once GITS receives your approval from the licensing agency, it calls you to set a date, or you can call it; Palm Beach County candidates start by emailing GITS. Registration needs your driver's license and a credit card, and an admission letter arrives by mail or email; arrive 15 minutes before the start time it gives. GITS offers online testing from home or an office with a camera and microphone through contracted proctors, 7 days a week with 72 hours' notice, and onsite testing in Fort Myers, Miami, Tampa, Ocala, Boca Raton and Davie. Its fee page lists $100 for a 3-hour exam in Florida ($80 in Broward County), plus a site or proctor fee. On language: GITS's fee page says you may request the exam in Spanish when you schedule it, for an extra $25; its scheduling FAQ adds that some licensing agencies must approve a non-English exam first — ask your agency before you apply. GITS does not issue the license: the sponsoring county does, and other localities that reciprocate require 75% or higher.
The full LICENA Florida Journeyman Electrician course is 500 questions across five blocks sized to the GITS outline: Electrical Theory & NEC Chapter 9 Tables · NEC Chapters 1 & 2 · NEC Chapters 3, 7 & 8 · NEC Chapters 4 & 5 · NEC Chapter 6 & OSHA Safety. At 30 questions a day that is under three weeks: one pass to find the gaps, a second pass on the areas you missed, then the timed final in the real format — 75 questions in 3 hours, 75% to pass — with Spanish shown side by side with the English if you want it. Keep the NEC open while you practice, because on an open-book exam the skill to build is finding the right article and table fast. The free OSHA construction practice test drills more of the 29 CFR 1926 rules behind the Safety questions. If you also work in plumbing, the Florida Journeyman Plumber practice test covers the county plumbing exam from the same testing company; and if you also work in Texas, the Texas Journeyman Electrician practice test covers that state's exam.
