What is the minimum age requirement to take the Colorado Journeyman Exam?

The minimum age requirement to take the Colorado Journeyman Exam is 18 years old. This age requirement ensures that candidates have reached a level of maturity and experience necessary for the responsibilities that come with being a journeyman. In many industries, including trades, having a foundational level of legal maturity is important, as it correlates with the ability to make informed decisions and assume responsibilities related to safety, work ethic, and adherence to regulations.

While younger age limits might be permissible in certain educational or entry-level contexts, the journeyman designation often requires a certain level of practical experience, usually obtained after completing an apprenticeship, which typically starts at or after this age.
