NABCEP Call for comments [RE-wrenches]

[Jeffery Wolfe, Global Resource Options]

William,

How do I, a registered professional engineer (mechanical), get an electrical
license? I'm not working for an electrician, and our work does not get
inspected (inspections not required or even available here). When I hire an
electrician to do some work for us, we train them on the PV, then they do
the work, on their schedule. (Usually quite a ways out.)

>From what I've seen, I need to work full time for a licensed electrician for
a number of years to get a license. So I put my company in storage (shut
down) for 5 years and do this? Sure I can. Pretty tough on the business
though.

If you know of another way to get a license, please let me in on it.

As a side, I'd like to know how many wrenches on this list are licensed? Am
I in the extreme minority?

Jeff

Jeff:

If these people you refer to are that great as wrenches, they can get a
license.  It is the first and most basic consumer protection and it is in
place now.
