Paperwork Philadelphia Master Electrician

[TESERVICES]

Hello everyone, I just passed my master electrician exam in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
To begin the process of obtaining my license, I must complete at least 8 CEU hours, in addition to liability insurance, workers' compensation, and auto insurance.

Question 1: What course can I take to meet this requirement? Are the online courses offered by Mike Holt Enterprise on their website valid?

I currently live in New Jersey. If living in Philadelphia isn't required to obtain a license, how can I meet the requirement of working with a company in that city?

Please, if anyone has any suggestions or has recently gone through this process, I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Never heard of a Philadelphia master electrician exam . They made a lot of changes since I passed the exam back in the 1970's. You will have to complete a OSHA10 Class. They might let you wait a few years though. I attended the 8 yearly best in class IAEI meetings in Philadelphia (1 red light off of the I95 Academy Road exit ). They usually have approximately 125 attendees at each meeting, at least a dozen inspectors, some extremely knowledgeable engineers and electricians. The great guy that is head of the Philly L & I electrical unit used to attend these meetings and hopefully b still is. Each meeting provides two hours of CEU'S. They still only have one type of license for electricians ( no called a master ).I entered " requirement to city if Philadelphia ekectrucsl.license " For experience states four years minimum working for an electrical company licensed by a local or state jurisdiction. Viewing that if you worked your years with a New Jersey electrical contractor who held a Philly electrical license that would count. Check with Philly L & I electrical unit on that. Good luck going to L & I in basement of 12 story Municipal Services building across from city hall. One of my friends lost a $5 K Job because it took them six months & several visits to issue him the license then two years later over ten months for somebody else. Also at least two of the inspectors who are on the Philly IAEI board have their own training classes for CEU'S & training on numerous articles. The Philly IAEI sent up at maybe a dozen people to Pa capital ( Harrisburg ) maybe ten years ago to talk to politicians about finally getting a state electrical license that they to!d my sparky dad in 1964 they were working in it. Good luck working in Philly. Had my van broken into three times in one year.

Hi, thanks for your comment. The problem is that you've been working all these years with an electrical contractor, but one licensed only in New Jersey.
