Get a copy of the Electrician Candidate Information Bulletin (CIB) for detailed information about taking examinations at PSI. This document is vital to your understanding of the examination process. It is available as an Adobe PDF file, suitable for printing. Acrobat Reader is necessary to view .pdf files. If you need to obtain a copy of this program, it is available as a free download for Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

Applicants must file an application before becoming eligible to sit for the examination. Find the application and instructions here (link to forms page). Follow the instructions to file the application. Applicants will be notified by mail if their application is incomplete.

Once an applicant is eligible to sit for an examination, TDLR will notify PSI electronically. PSI will then send a post card to the address given on the application to notify the applicant of their eligibility. The post card will also provide instructions on how to schedule an examination. To schedule an examination the examination fee will be paid directly to PSI. Check the CIB for amounts and additional information.
