I am licensed in the state of NJ and looking to possibly relocate to SC. Icalled dept of consumer affairs down there and was told that I am required to take two tests for the state. As difficult as Jerseys test is there is no grace for this? Can anyone down there give me any info? Thanks in advance.
 
Usually reciprocity only works for out of state contractors. If you actually move into a state, you usually have to take their exam. I was living in SC in 1995, took their exam and passed it. I moved to NC in 1996 and could not start my business until I passed the NC exam even though I had taken and passed the VA, WV, and SC exams. If I lived in SC or VA and operated my business from one of those states, I would be some paperwork away from a NC electrical contractors license, but since I resided in NC, I had to take their test.
 
Why do you think the NJ test is harder than any other state. Typical north east arrogance? This is probably why NJ is not recip with very many if any other states.

He did not say it was harder than any other. He just implied that its very difficult, which it is. Why would you twist his words and lash out at him? Typical midwest ignorance, I suppose.

No, but he implied that it is, like NJ test is so hard that passing it should get him into another state.

It really comes down to each state has its own rules, and being made by politicians I don't think you apply any kind of logic to it (like relative difficulty of tests).

I find it hard to believe that a first time poster has such a collassal attitude.

....although a Del. lic may be good here.
 
Didn't mean to offend anyone, just stating an opinion on the test. I'm sorry that I don't understand that a "National" electrical code exam is not national, code is code isn't? Please excuse my perceived arrogance.

That's not arrogance - that's being from NJ :) ..you are from NJ, right...cause if not, it is arrogance LOL

It would take more than just a few words on a screen to offend someone from NJ - no offense taken ;)

Water OFF a duck's back.

That's where the water goes -- off.

(Oh -- born just off Exit 2 on the turnpike, myself.)

Yanno, "The Garden State" doesn't mean New Jersey is devoid of all human life, buildings, HOSPITALS or other structures. It just means that parts of New Jersey haven't become just like New York City.

That large obelisk is THE tallest building in NJ (Goldman Sacks building/42 stories @ 800 some odd feet)
