Electric Contractors
Electircians and contractors!!! Please help!!!!?
So i am posting this question for my boyfriend who doesnt have a comp at home:
He is interested in becoming a general journeyman electrician. He took a test with ibew in which he has not recieved anything back from yet. According to the california general journeyman electrician application, applicants must have 8000 hours of prior experience. Now to the point, here is my question: Do these hours need to be completed in an apprenticeship in an organization such as ibew, or can it be with any electric contractor? because he does have these hours, but with a general electric contractor. Please give me any information, recources and advice you can. Your feedback is verrrryyy appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!
Actually, CA is different than other states, in that they have mandated a new journeyman electrician certification. This is NOT the same as a contractor’s license.
The 8000 hours required to sit for the journeyman exam can be work performed while working for any licensed electrical contractor, or you can prove it by showing an IBEW or similar apprenticeship completion certificate.
Anyone working in the field must either have this journeyman certification, be enrolled in an indentured apprenticeship program (e.g. IBEW, ABC), or be registered as an “electrician trainee” (pay a small fee to register, attend an approved school [many community colleges have available programs] and work for a licensed C-10 contractor, under the direct supervision of a certified journeyman until he has the hours and knowledge to pass the certification exam).
The DIR’s website has all the details. http://www.dir.ca.gov/DAS/ElectricalTrade.htm
