Initial review period took about a week. Resubmitted the next year with updated experience and it took a day.

about a month or so.

Curriculum wise it seems to vary by class... I took a power systems protection class and it was quite basic and I took a power system stability class that was very complex... I'd say if you stick to the 800 level classes you'll get quite a bit of insite on things even after 10 years in industry.

I'm currently finishing up the program at Kansas State. I've had a pretty good experience and would say it's worth the money I'm paying for it (which is nothing due to company reimbursement) But in all seriousness they have been great to work with and have been very accommodating of my work...

I didn't get a reply from my reviewer for about a month, but I also sent an email to the board with a question and it took just about as long to get a reply so I'd guess the board gets bogged down with emails around test time.

it took me a day after admin review... many on here have confirmed that it's usually no longer than 3 business days. The longest wait is definitely over though.

yeah a coworker of mine applied for a Michigan license on a Tuesday and was licensed by the next Monday via NCEES. It shouldn't be long after that first one, everything is bigger in the proud country of Texas... including the wait times.

first off I would not transmit to all 50 states at once that would cost $3,775. Not even counting the registration fees for each state. That being said getting a license by comity using the council record will vary state to state. Mostly though it should be in the ballpark of a few weeks tops...

It took me around 10 days to get everything reviewed by NCEES.

If you're asked to size a breaker I would see that strictly as an NEC question. They typically will say "in accordance with the 20XX NEC" though so that should help. The only way I see them asking for the size of a breaker and it being a protection question is if they give you several sizes of...

weeeeeeelllllllllllllll that's a different story... my reviewer had some sort of delay that didn't seem to be related to my application method... not sure what happened but yeah all said and done it was a 9 week process. Probably 7-8 of them were on the TBPE side.

not sure if it's worse but Kansas has 3.2 beer in grocery and convenience stores... which is really just taunting us. I'd rather it not be there at all than have to look at the sad shell of greatness that is 3.2 beer.

I applied through the NCEES, took about a week or so for NCEES to approve my experience and verify my degree. I'd say as far as working without a PE, as long as you have someone licensed to verify that experience you should be fine. I would say if you are planning on getting future licenses (I...

also, it made it much easier on all of my references since they could just go in and answer 3 questions and submit my referal in less than 5 minutes.

I applied via the NCEES council record for initial license... I found it to be very easy. I think that it simplified the SER process, I was worried about what to write on that and the word limit on NCEES forced me to be concise and just hit the highlights of my career. I'd recommend the NCEES...
