I just took the test both of them, actually took them both for the 2nd time passed both times. I can tell you that the written test is not that bad.
The practical on the other hand you will not pass without going to the course in the city that everyone goes to. There's probably a less then 0% chance of passing without that class.
With that being said the NYC dob is probably the worst agency to deal with in regards to the whole process. I'm doing it now . If you want more info or have any questions feel free to pm me

Practical practical consist of 5 projects
Pipe bending
A series of questions on a set of prints
Wire motor control
Megger

But it sounds easy and not hard but there's certain ways they want it done and like i said before if you do not go to the class your guaranteed to fail

I belive Utah has a practical exam. Electricians are hands on learners...I like the concept.
The process is very tough all I can advise is if you to for it make sure you have all the required time because they don't verify your requirements until after the testing process I know plenty of men that were denied for being a day or two short of the 7.5 years required

I have been told by several licensed electricians that his prep class is pretty much "required" if you want to pass the licensing exam.
I have read that also and I just recently started digging into this
I’m licensed in a couple of other states already but there is no reciprocity, so the hours shouldn’t be an issue.
But I may very well take you up on the offer to PM with questions if you don’t mind.

Really none of my business, but would you mind telling us why an Engineer for a POCO in NC would need a NY electrical license? Are you moving there?
I do specialty side work. Have a job that pike electric has asked me to do. Remove overhead transformers from UNDER a building along with the MV cables, and install a new CT cabinet outside. POCO there is wanting to get these out.
I’ve done several of these already around here and SC. I’m just a familiar name with them.
Didn’t know they worked that far north..
Just started look in f into this yesterday.
Still not sure what’s going on there. Honestly I thought NYC was all UG. I was told this building is served with a overhead line.
trying to get it subbed out actually and not go at all.
May PM Nickelec and see if he wants the job as a pike sub.
Have a SC and NC EC license now, and other state GC licenses.

This was brought up Thursday and may not even happen. I’m just looking into what it would take to get it done.You would think I was from Missouri, show me!
