Go to THIS link. See item #3. Call the phone number listed. I'm sure you can get help through them.

Good luck.

I just took the Masters ICC in Reading, PA If you go through the practice exam on Mike Holt's site, you should be fine. Use all of the allotted time, eat a good breakfast, and don't drink a energy drink right before. (I must of p*ssed 5 times)

Funny that you posted that link, because if you call that number, the person you'd be talking to would be speaking on a phone that I installed and sitting at a desk that is under a light I installed. If the power should happen to do out, hopefully the generator that I installed will start okay.

Was the link helpful?

There is no such test for "PA" anyhow. They test on a local basis. You'd need to collect lots and lots of licenses to have "PA" covered. That link was only for one town. I see that the OP edited his original post. I happen to know the man that authors the Chambersburg test personally. The OP can PM me for the inside scoop.

Are you saying that the State of PA does not dictate licenses? That is what I have found out. My sympathies. I was aware that the OP cited Chambersburg. That is why I had the link.

Kentucky took over licensing in 2002. Before that it was a complete bother to gather the licenses for each county/city.

What are the license types required in PA by cities/counties? Do they have journeyman, master and contractor?

It varies from nothing at all, just one type, or many types. Depends on the city. One member of the electrician's examining board for the town in question just passed last week, matter of fact.

Do you mean passed away? (i.e ceased to exist, kicked the bucket) If so - my condolences.

Or do you mean he passed their test?

you need a license to cut someones hair but not to wire their house.Whats more important a good barber or a good electrician? They use the same testing agency as west virgina for inspectors certification, I dont know why they dont use their master electrician license.
