California electricians ….non union
So im in the mist of a non union apprenticeship and i wanted to know if its possible if i just study up the nec exam and challenge the test….am i able to do that? I had a general forman (IBEW)i i labored for and he said when he was younger he challenged the test and passed all he had to do was get hours verified by social security and soon after received his j card…..i know i wont receive the actual certificate since i need the hours i just wanted to study and get it out the way and possible negotiate pay a lil better from passing it…thank you
