Can it be possible done without actually going thru the whole trade school experience??? Worth it?

 
I also have wondered about this. Would be great for learning code, creating drawings, haggling with contractors, etc.

 
The engineer who is my supervisor was/is a journeyman electrician before pursuing engineering (professional). Our goto guy on NEC.

 
I actually was an electrician in a different life and got my master electrical license many years ago.

The only requirement in my state is to have 4 or 5 years of experience and pass the test. No need for trade school.

 
ok...Virginia Board just get back with me

Accredited school with 1 year electrical work (need details on this), i am eligible to take the journeyman exam

The masters test is an 8 hour test in Ga administered by AMP. I took it at the Metro Mart in Atlanta, and there were around 500 test takers.
