Question Electrical Exam Requirements (PA)?
Where i can take the electrical exam in Pa, Philadelphia? Plus, what are the requirements to take the exam. Do I need real world experience working in the field? I have classroom experience including hands on training, electric theory, math and NEC, is that enough to pass the exam?

In Allentown, you need 5 yrs OTJ. But, March 2009, the PA Senate is going to vote on a bill for a State Lic. Apprentice's will need an App. Lic. and Contractors and Journeyman will be required to have the Jourmeyman Lic. According to my Sentor, existing Lic's will not be hornored. That means retaken the test according to the State regulations.
