I'm trying to obtain my Journeyman's electrical licesnse and in need of some help. I worked industrial all my career and it never required a license.
I started doing electrical work in the Navy as an ET, electronic tech back in 1975, four year tour of duty. Then worked as an Instrument and electrical tech IBEW 2286 for a public utility from 1979 to 1995, 16 years. Then five years of I/E design work and then back on my tools from 2000 to 2008. The last six years I've been in a planner coordinator and designer role.
I'm making a move down under, Oz, and to be able to work there, I need an electrical license from the states. I live in Texas and the rules here say I need to have worked for a Master Electrician for Four years. They did a grandfather thing in 2004, I was not aware of it then and now they won't accept my past work record.
All I want is a seat for a test and let the test determine if I know my stuff....
Are there any states out there that will allow me to sit for a test based on my past work record?
