In 2027 Washington will require anyone taking a journey level exam to be a graduate of a apprenticeship program.

WA used to have a card called a 'Trainee' that anyone could pay $10 a year for and could log hours under any licensed EC. I thought that was a great alternative for folks.
Two of the best electricians I ever worked with were from up there, both did the 'Trainee' route they lamented they never could get into an apprenticeship program too much red tape, ranking rules and corruption but this was decades ago.

Absolutely. One great thing I took away from my convo with L&I is that I can be the Admin & Elect. contractor, pull the permit, hire a Journey, AND work for and oversee that Journey to accumulate my hours as an Apprentice.

However next year rules will change requiring a training program, and there is no way I can accumulate no 8,000 hours before then. But, they said I can set up MY OWN training program and become a part of that.

This means that I can do some of the electrical work myself, which is important because many of my technologies are so different.

In reality I build houses though and will never qualify for Journey, although it doesn't matter because I can still wire.

Do you need to be a journey level electrician. What about residential which is4,000 hours?
A still work as trainee.
