Hi --
I'm thinking of moving to New Orleans from Arizona. The licensing rules seem to be different and I'm hoping that someone here can help me out.
I would like to take the journeyman's test for New Orleans. I've been told that they accept either the ICC exam or the state exam. (I've heard that they are both the same--just one is given by ICC at their test center and the other is given by the state at their test center.)
Is this correct? In other words, is it true that all I would have to do to become a licensed journeyman is sign-up online for the ICC test and then go to Louisiana to take the test on my test date?
I have read on the LSLBC web site that there is no experience requirement to take this test, unlike the 4000-hour requirement in other states. Is this correct?
Assuming I register for the ICC test online, take the test in Louisiana and pass, how do I get from there to having the license or card? I've been told that all journeyman in NOLA are required to pass this test to work in the city. Is this correct? Is it like nursing where before they hire you they ask to see your license and photocopy it for their records? If so, what government agency issues the license? I assume that I can find the requirements from there.
Thanks. I know I asked a lot of questions. BTW, I'm planning to use Mike Holt's NEC Exam Prep Textbook--I've heard good things about it.
