Electrical Licensing Section


The Electrical Licensing Section is within the Division of Fire Prevention and is responsible for issuing contractor electricians, master electricians and electricians licenses and monitoring the continuing education program for all electricians in the commonwealth.  Currently we are licensing over 24,000 electricians a year.

The issuance of electrical licenses ensures qualified electricians are performing the electrical work for the safety of the citizens of the commonwealth.

All licensed electricians are required to attend six hours of continuing education a year.  A calendar of approved continuing education classes can be found on this Web site.  Should you need additional assistance you may contact Tina Quire, program coordinator at Tina.Quire@ky.gov or 502-573-2002, ext. 453.
