CT License Holders - Head's Up !!

[bdarnell]

Apparently CT audited all of the electrical contractors for CE this year. I received a notice that I had not completed mine (which I had) so I had my school send in the certificate. Then I received a certified notice of formal hearing to show cause why my license should not be revoked, myself fined, and presumably thrown under the jail.

It seems there is a "black hole" somewhere in the government offices that is eating paper, so I'd advise anyone who is a CT license holder to use certified mail when sending anything to the state.

With all those states' abbreviations in your signature block, I don't think you have to worry all that much about losing one EC license.

Aw Brad; forget about CT. Come take the MI test. We need more good people. Seems like a lot of the best are leaving.

And if you get thrown in Jail here I'll come visit you.:smile:

I was going to take MI, Larry, but I heard that you have to be a resident there to work as an EC. True ? False ? I'd move but it's cold enough down here.

This may not have been a problem on the states side. The school that you took your class at has to tell the state who completed the class. I know someone else that that happened to and he found out that the school missed sending in by email a whole batch of names. It was quickly corected.

Thanks for your input, Marissa. I checked with my instructor and he did send a class roster, the location, certificates, all of the necessary paperwork. Maybe mine was just an isolated case. Mail does get lost from time to time.

Anyway, hopefully it's fixed now.

Thanks again.

How do I get this Current Transformer (CT) license??

I'd also like to know about this Current Transformer (CT) license. I just have my Master Nincompoop (MN) license.

Looks like you would have to move or hire a master who lives in Michigan.....
