Training can entail, but is not necessarily limited to, drilling holes, attaching empty conduits and pulling electrical wire, and installing electrical fixture boxes and other elements of an electrical system.

For large construction projects, some states require the certification of journeyman electrician as well as specialty electricians. Many states recognize the importance of protecting homeowners from incompetent workmanship.
Practically every state requires an electrician to pass a rigorous certification exam, which serves to test the knowledge of each examinee.
