Hi, I am pursuing the Oregon Low Voltage license (http://licenseinfo.oregon.gov/?fuseaction=license_seng&link_item_id=1687). And, I'm heading in the direction to use it towards Commercial Kitchen Ventilation (troubleshoot and repair of exhaust fans, hoods, electrical control panels, etc.) of which was my last 2.5 years in the USN.

I am half way through Ch. 3 of the NEC and I am starting over with Article 90 and 100 before returning to Ch. 3.

Any help in a direction is greatly appreciated.

I am familiar with Oregon electrical licensing as I used to live there. A Class B Limited Energy Technician license is nearly worthless. I would suggest you try to obtain a Limited Maintenance Electrician license instead if you plan on troubleshooting and repairing ventilation systems. The LME will allow you to troubleshoot and repair systems of 600 volts or less.
 
I'm sure you'll get there too. It is not my intention to discourage you whatsoever. I do believe however that the license you seek is not adequate for the type of work want to do. You should ask the Oregon Building Codes Division if they would apply your USN education and experience towards a Limited Maintenance Electrician or General Journeyman Electrician license. It would put you on a better path towards your goal IMO.
 
I am not discouraged yet I am tired of waiting for things to happen in life. As for obtaining my license it is rather a step towards the castle. The job I am looking at is not requiring the license. As I mentioned I am familiar with the equipment and I enjoy working with electricity, period.

I've been at this exam since January (fourth time later this month). It's the technicalities of what the NEC says and NOT what we know.

I am humbled to come upon this community and I will be contributing as often as I can.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you stick around. Don't be shy about asking questions. I learned more about the NEC in my first month here than I did in my whole apprenticeship.
