What To Expect

Preparing for the IBEW Apprenticeship Aptitude Test

The aptitude test is a combination of Reading Comprehension and Mathematics skills. The IBEW’s preparatory course for the aptitude test can be found at electricprep.com . There is a fee for this course that is not refunded by this committee.

The Interview Process

Upon successfully passing the aptitude test, you are eligible to be interviewed by our Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. You may also find interview tips and resources at electricprep.com.
