Hello,
Are there diffrent levels of certification?

I'm a low voltage installer, and once in a blue moon, I need to do something with high voltage on a very basic for level.

Like right now, I need to put a diffent plug on a power cord. It would take me 5 minutes. But I don't want the liability, so I pay an electrician to do it.

Is there a basic level if licensing that I can apply for, or is it an all or nothing deal.

Thanks

Re: levels of certification?

It depends on where you are. In California they are cracking down on certification of electricians. They are really tightening things up. They are rolling out a new apprentice certification as we speak.

In CA it basically goes like this:
Apprentice;
Journeyman;
Contractor.

There are at least three categories of Journeyman. You get a bye while you are in an approved Apprenticeship Program.

Here is a link to the new CA program that is being set up. They had a meeting on Sept. 10, 2003 and are rolling out a new website for that. Here is the current link:
