Electricians Card Part 2

The second part of my Electricity in New York article was about choosing an Electrician among the large pool of electricians. The second part of my Electricity in New York article will be about Electricians Qualifications and Licensing. There are many aspects to consider when licensing an Electrician. Additionally I will discuss licensing as a general Contractor vs. an Electrical Business Owner. I was a young electrician when he came to our small office. He began his career in his father’s shop welding and then sold electrical devices to us. After several years of selling products, I told him that I would like to grow my company and hire more electricians.

I didn’t want it to cost me too much so I suggested that he get an nvq3. He looked at him and asked “What is a Nvq?” I responded by showing him my nvq3 which has a yellow and white sticker on the front with four numbers on it, one each of the last two digits. The nvq3 qualifies you to be a New York licensed electrician. I think it was my lack knowledge about the job that made him not want to be hired. Although it took him many years of experience to obtain this license, people now know who and what he is. Anyone considering becoming an electrician should take this test very seriously.

Another thing I learned from New York Electricians is that they don’t require you to have an additional degree. An EIT, or National Electrician’s License, is issued to most Electrical Workers. These programs aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on, as the electrician doesn’t require them. They are more expensive for insurance purposes, and can cost as high as $300 for six-years of licensing. I believe that anyone with enough knowledge already has these licenses, so don’t bother to get them. Let me share my story. I hope it will help someone considering becoming an electrician.

I wanted to expand… a lot. I had recently bought a very nice restaurant and needed electrical engineering services to expand… The electrician that I was hiring had been doing nvq3 for the last 6 years but still could not get the licenses. I told him that he didn’t have the minimum qualifications necessary to become a nvq3 electrician and that I needed the regs. He refused to compromise and insisted that he had all the qualifications. He had all the qualifications that was required and I had a problem with this, because he still could not get the nvq3. I explained to my client that no matter how many years of experience he had, it was still not enough to be qualified to do any type of electrical work.

To obtain the nvq, he had to complete part 2. So I said that I would pay for his part 2. About a week later the electrician called me and was telling me that he could not complete the part p on the nvq3. I asked him if he had ever completed a part p on it. He said he couldn’t because he didn’t have the necessary qualifications. I advised him that he take a year off to complete the required qualifications. He was unwilling to do this if he didn’t want to.
