Massachusetts license

What does the E or B mean at the end of the license number?

Hexadecimal numbering system?

"E" formally educated.
"B" born with it.

E is a master/contractor license, B is journeyman. E allows you to be a fully unlimited electrical contractor.

The B license allows you to get permits to do "side work" and also operate a small business with only one apprentice. With a B license, you can't be called "contractor", you must use your first and last name and "Electrician."

The last renewal, the letters disappeared off my licenses.

Kwired doesn't it seem strange they would use the letter "B" and "E" for journeyman? Didn't anything think maybe a "J".

I suspect that they started from A down through or past E and then eventually dropped the types in between.


But I feel a kinship with people who are CDO.

(That's OCD with the letters in alphabetic order like they should be.)

You have been demoted to apprentice

That is what they do here, but everyone thinks we are stupid hillbillies and don't know anything here.

My license is an electrical contractor license, number starts with EC..., when I was a journeyman, they had class A and class B journeyman licenses, mine was class A and the number started with JA...

The "E" is the old designation for journeyman that us old timers have.

When they added other licenses they changed the "E" to "B" on new licenses, but didn't change the existing licenses with an "E".

I noticed that too. But online it showed an E. I'm doing renewal and noticed some journeyman had a B with their license number. We are all journeyman. Curious what the two designated.
