I have no trade experience at all whatsoever, I was raised by women. Not saying that women can’t do handy things, just not the ones in my life. And I hate college so I think I’m going to give this a try.

Hey, got a cple questions for you. I’m moving back from living in Spain for a while, I just finished up a course which enables me here to either work as a basic electrical installer and or with solar panels, and I’m about to do 300hours of an apprenticeship. I’m also getting ready to move back home within the year to San Diego, CA. I know that things are done much differently back home from here, but would you have any idea if it would be possible to get some sort of work with the education I’ve got from Spain, or would I have to start from scratch? I’ve seen back home there’s a trade school that starts everyone off working as an apprentice, while going to class two nights a week. What’s your opinion on that?

@TheApprenticeToJourneyman

How you doing Kyle! I’m really not sure to be honest with you, but if you already have your electrical license from Spain it possible they might allow you to transfer it. I know it works differently state to state, I would call in your local area and see what they would recommend. They might allow you to go to trade school but not sure if you would have to start all over.. Sorry I couldn’t be much help, Everything will work out. One day at a time..🙏🏽

It really depends on what your situation is, I think that it’s best to try to get with a company & learn on the Job to get the experience. But if you feel like the school route would be better right now that’s cool too. I think you’ll be fine with either decision, pray on it!🙏🏽

You have a few options you can go to trade school for electrical if you would like or you could start with a company with know experience & learn like that.

I’m not sure where your located but in Texas We have TDLR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT LICENSE REGULATION which is the website where I ordered my license from. Look at your state & they should have something similar & apply for the electrical apprentice license, mind was 20 dollars and came back in a week. It’s just good to have so when someone hires you, you will already have it..

Go ask them to be an apprentice. They'll start you off and show you what to do. Or just watch KZread videos like me and start actually learning stuff and then go. But you need to learn it for real like codes and stuff too. Not just change 1 light switch and think you're done. From watching videos I was able to completely rewire my entire house, and upgraded my main panels and connected to the live service entrance lines from my power company without any help. So you can definitely do it if you try! Good luck 👍

I believe starting non union for a smaller company is definitely the best way to start as you get your hands on lots of different work, all the time, it’s not always the same thing everyday and you’re on 1-2 man jobs all the time so u will always be learning.
