Hi everyone. I'm thinking about becoming an electrician. A co-worker's husband is one and I will be finding out more soon.

In the meantime, can you please tell me what is typically required? Do I have to go to a trade/technical school? If not, what is the other alternative? Can it simply be working with someone (or a shop) who is licensed and willing to train me? What tests need to be taken? Etc...

I'm in NY btw. Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

Trade school is an invaluable asset her as is OJT... IMO
