Hello from Colorado!
Around here we have a state wide license program.
4000hrs of OJT you can take an RW test (residential wireman). that means you can wire a home with no supervision.
8000hrs of OJT with at least 4000 of those in commercial for the JW (journeyman wireman)
after you have your JW you need to accumulate another 2000hrs of "Layout, design, and supervision"
ALL tests are 4.5hrs long and consist of 100 questions. (open book)
BTW for the record, I think the hands on test is the way to go. Just because you know the book does not mean you can do the work!
