Washington Administrators License - looking for advice on study materials/approach

[letgomywago]

I have never understood why Washington and Alaska use the term 'administrator' to mean master electrician.

WA it means you know it not that your necessary have hands on experience with it. It's a different take for sure though but I could see a large business being more inline with it than someone to work their way up from the trade only.

In WA the administrator is the person who is responsible for the company complying with state electrical laws and rules. The
Administrator does not have to be a certified electrician but if not an electrician can’t touch the tools.
But then in 2005 Washington set up master electrician certification, a master is electrician + administrator.
In small companies the administrator is the only electrician.

So even though I’m not an electrician I still have to take the Master Electrician test? Meaning that’s what I should be studying?
