Does anyone know if instructors need to be licensed journeyman to be electrical instructors theaching on live circuits? I know the minimum field experience is five years but cannot get a verification from the DIR. If you could , give me the source or a contact to which i can reach out and ask more questions.

As I understand it, you have to convince the community college that you are qualified. Then take a course on teaching fundamentals, then you are in.

I'd hope that any instructor is a jman
With the local college, you have to prove that you have your AS/AA or higher plus your minimum 6 years of experience. Teaching credential not asked for but I am sure will help. The school will not hire you only on trade experience.
