How long does it take to get a journeyman electrician's license, study time and all.?

Question

After an apprenticeship is already completed.

Answer 1

I know that including the apprenticeship, it should take four years, if you go through the union. I didn't go that route. I didn't go that way. I started in a shipyard almost 30 years ago. I am now working on a drilling rig off the coast of Africa. I don't konw what to tell you. As for making money and not having to kill yourself working really hard, offshore is the way to go, unless you have a degree and can sit back behind a desk and s***w up prints for people like me to straighten out. (got a problem with some engineers, in case you couldn't guess.)

Lots of opportunites out there for a good electrician. Good luck to you, whichever way you go.

Answer 2

Follow the link below and you'll come to a site with all the info you will need about becoming an electrician in any State. Keep in mind that requirements differ depending on location, and some States don't even require licensing for electricians.

Good Luck!
