- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In order to become a State Licensed Journeyman Electrician in California, one needs at least 4 years (8,000 hours) of on the job training in what is called an apprenticeship. Typically, this is accompanied by 4 or 5 years of part time school as well, 2 nights per week of 3 hour classroom training. After completion of this 4 or 5 year period, one may take a state licensure test to become a certified electrician, or Journeyman. After one has received the certification and has worked for another 4 years as a Journeyman electrician, he or she may pursue an Electrical Contractor's license, or C-10. Both licenses require ongoing training to be kept current and both require re-certification at 2-3 year intervals. This trade deals with very critical and often complex situations requiring a high level of aptitude and an in-depth knowledge of the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and other local codes (CEC, CBC, UBC, San Diego Electrical Code, SDG&E standards etc.). There is a lot to know to be safe and productive in our profession- this is why there are so many requirements and regulations before one is allowed to work in it. Not only this, we must also be CPR/First Aid/AED certified, understand OSHA regulations for workplace safety, and keep up with changes to the Electrical Code which happen every 3 years. Rest assured that not only are we are knowledgeable of our trade, but that we are also constantly learning and improving to better serve you, our customers.
