study manual
I am hoping to start my apprenticeship soon and would love to get this file. I want to know everything I can about electricity and this would be a great start. If you can send me a copy of the file I would be very thankful.

Sorry bud, this probably isn't what your looking for. This is just a study manual for the test you take to get accepted INTO the apprenticeship, which has already happened for you. It unfortunately has nothing to do with electricity.

I haven't been accepted yet. I hope to be. I haven't taken the test to get into the program yet. I'm new to this so I thought that it was for after you're accepted. I pick up my application the first Monday of April. I talked to the apprenticeship person in charge and that's the earliest I can get the application.

I thought by you saying, "I am hoping to start my apprenticeship program soon that," that you had been accepted but just awaiting your start date. When you pick up your application, ask them if they have study material specific to the test you will take, most likely they do. Let me know if not..

Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I sent the union (Kathy Mancini) an email asking about study materials. She hasn't returned my email yet. I'll let you know though. Actually, can I ask you to send it anyway? I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for being so patient with me.
Mike

You do realize there won't be any electrical questions on the test, right?

Yes, I talked with an electrician today. It's mainly a math and problem solving test, from what he said. Which is good, I'm good at math.

Hello all, new around these parts. I was checking out some threads and suppose I would appreciate a copy of the study manual as well. The local 640 informed me that I must provide 2 semesters worth of algebra as well as other documents. This would be a big help to get me rolling! Thanks ahead of time.

Chicagoguy... Congrats on making it into the apprenticeship. It's pretty difficult to make it in! Got a lot of friends who didn't. I actually just finished at 2800 S. Western in mid-December. The school isn't bad. The PT stuff actually wakes u up after a few weeks instead of making you tired... They make u do some crazy stuff at the end, hah. They make ya carry two bundles of 1/2 inch pipe in each hand around the whole parking lot! Good luck with that. But it's worth it though man trust me. The pays good, and i got lucky to get stuck with a good company and guys who teach me a lot. The days seem long at first but you get used to it

Thanks for the heads up man, physically I am in good shape, but have been brushing up on the push ups, lunges, leg raises and jumping jacks since the orientation... BUT, they made you carry 4 bundles (2 in each hand) at 1 time? Don't they way like 80 pds per bundle which would mean 160 per hand? I am so looking forward to beginning on April 7th and starting to learn... I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the 134's program, it's great to hear from a 134 newbie like me! I hope I am as fortunate as you to get placed with a good company thats willing to teach us guys that are ready. capable and willing to learn.
Can you help me out and let me know exactly what tools/accessories they provided you in the kit you had to pay the $487 for? Thanks again

Maybe 1/2 in. weighs that much for an xtra large bundle? The bundles I've carried thru the site were only 100ft. worth (10 pieces emt), they were easy enough though. They certainly didn't weigh 80 lbs.
Thanks for the study guide, it's appreciated.

Drew, did you see my question in regards to possibly letting me know what tools they provided you with that you had to purchase from them? The more detailed (if possible) the better
Thank you!
