Application Process

Step II: APTITUDE TEST

Once your application is complete, the next step is to take the Aptitude Test, designed to assess your skills in reading comprehension and mathematics (Algebra-based). This test is an essential part of the selection process, and a qualifying score of 3 is required to move forward to the next stage: the sit-down interview.

The test format is as follows:

• Algebra and Functions: 33 questions, 46 minutes

• Reading Comprehension: 36 questions, 51 minutes

There will be a short break between the two sections.

Important Notice: Once the Department of Labor approves our new standards, we will be abolishing the score requirement for the aptitude test. Stay tuned for updates as we move toward this exciting change!

Prepare for success and take the next step in your electrical career. Get ready to showcase your skills!

Things to Work on

While waiting for an interview, there are a couple things you can do to help yourself in the process. 

​

• You will need an Electrician Apprentice license from the TDLR website (link is on our Resources page).  The cost for this card is $20.00 and you have any misdemeanors of felonies, you will also need to fill out the criminal history questionnaire. We are unable to send any out to work without this license, it is a class C misdemeanor, resulting in fines between $2,000-$5,000 plus one year probated suspension up to revocation.

• You can also start working on a  TWIC (Texas Workers Identification Card). The Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC®, is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities and vessels. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person’s eligibility and issues the credential.

1. Provide required documentation, be fingerprinted and take a facial photo. Bring your current U.S. passport or a driver’s license and birth certificate. See other acceptable documents.

2. Pay a non-refundable fee valid for five years with a credit card, money order, company check or certified/cashier’s check. Fees are as follows, new applicant $125.25 and replacement card $60
