Study Time

[Ohm1]

I'm going for my GC license! Heck, all this time I have on my hands, I should have done this two months ago. I'll start studying tonight. It seems I'll be going out of business, unless I start accepting and doing some commercial work--of coarse this will mean i will have to hire a commercial electrician, but that's fine!!

[Ohm1]

If I can't get things going in a year, then I'll have to try becoming an inspector. :lollypop:

[Ohm1]

If feel sorry for these hack companies if i become an inspector!!! :evil2::stupido:

Or

maybe I'll run for a political position:secruity:

Nice how you are having a conversation with yourself.:bandit:

What sort of stuff you have to study? More Code?

I'm curious when you say, GC, because when I hear GC I think of one that takes on nonelectrical projects such as roofing, siding, carpentry, handywork, etc. Not electrical or even mechanical in nature. For example, in my area, no one is going to do electrical work as a business without having an electrical contractor's license and plan on being in business for a while.... Heck, its very tough even having all the correct licenses!!! Maybe even more so!:banghead::banghead: In order to be an EC, a master's license is required. Just trying to understand the differences state to state...

Commercial work, awww its not so bad, bending small conduit and making a neat job is one thing, but working with stuff over 2", that ^&^%* is for the birds!

General Electrical Contractor's (AKA: 01 Masters license, or 01 Adminstrators license) are permitted to work above and beyond residential electrical in our State. <---I'm going for this

Our State requires a number of licenses.

I have three licenses:
1. EC- Individuals working in the electrical contractor trade must have a valid electrical contractor's license--while presenting required bond or assignment of savings. You must also designate a master electrician or electrical administrator to ensure that your work complies with the appropriate laws and rules.

2. Journeyman's-supervisor of electrical apprentices or helpers. Installers and etc etc.. License is good in these listed States:Alaska Arkansas Colorado Massachusetts
Minnesota Montana Nebraska New Hampshire
New Mexico North Dakota Oklahoma South Dakota
Texas Utah Wyoming

3. Administrators-Shareholder, and supervisor over shop electrical journeyman. We also ensure that the Electrical Contractor's work complies with all the appropriate electrical laws and rules. (A person with these credentials are mandatory to run an EC business in our state. ).

It's something to be proud of, but not enough!! :eating:

As you can see, i'm already licensed to work in your State :D:beer:

Yah.. I see that...too bad it's extremely slow here too....puke_1:)


Thanks for sharing the license info in your state.:five: Interesting stuff.

So what do you have to study for this?

[Ohm1]

This test will cover NEC90 thru NEC830--with calculations being the killer. It's pretty much the exam I already took, but covers more NEC articles, and major load calulations---which will include motor loads, commercial buildings.... etc etc..............

Outline:

-NEC and Theory
-Washington State RCW and WAC laws and rules
-Major load Calculations

[Ohm1]

Heck, I was running my mouth about studying, and haven't had a chance to get deeply involved in the books as I thought I would<----Business picked-up!

[Ohm1]

Still haven't started! I'm starting to think I lost interest!!!

How's business?

[Ohm1]

It's up and down! This type of business is always up and down. Yet, it gets ify ify when you don't see any business for two weeks--I've been in this boat. Most of my work is referrals, and repeat customers. Business could be better, so I'm intending to try for a more profitable margin--by expanding into a different market.

Sorry for being 5 months late!
