NY is a little bit different from other states, in that you don’t have a statewide license but rather separate towns, cities, municipalities, etc.
Follow the link below and you’ll come to a site that has all the info you need about getting licensed in any state.
Go to the licensing page, then click on state licensing requirements.
You’ll find what you’re looking for there.
Good Luck!http://www.electrician-electricalcontrac…
I want to watch this for answers because I am a licensed electrician in Michigan and also need to know if a Michigan license can be transferred to NY or other states. Some do this, some don’t is what I understand.
Adding this today since no one else answered you:
Here is a link for NYC requirements:http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/html/license…
In Michigan this is the requirements:
1)8000 hrs on the job under the supervision of a Licensed Master Electrician who is in the employ of a Licensed Electrical Contractor (which may very well be the Master, but does NOT have to be).
Both the Master and Contractor (if different) must provide written documentation/proof of the 8000 hrs OJT.
They will require W-2 forms, and notarized letters from the Master and Contractor.
2)Complete 632 classroom hours in a certified/approved Apprentice Journeyman Electrician course. This is usually at a local Community College. You have to check with them for availability.
3)Submit your proof to the municipality. Apply to take the Journeyman Electrician exam. They will schedule you for the test in your area. Could be in your city, but usually a major city in your area about 2-3 times a year.
3)To be eligible to take the Master Electrician’s Exam. You must practice the Electrician trade for 2 years as a Licensed Journeyman Electrician under the supervision of a Licensed Master Electrician, and show written proof of thereof.
Attend all required NEC code class updates. In our area, the State notifies all of us who are licensed when and where they are held. Usually about $150.00 for a 2 day session, and they fill up FAST. You must have these update certificates to be able to renew your license.
4)Submit proof to your municipality. Apply to take the Master Electrician’s Exam. Basically the same procedure as applying for the Journeyman’s exam. In our area, it is only give twice a year. It is very difficult.
Good Luck
