Wireman License

[ishwar463]

Good day,

What is the procedure to obtain wireman license in Trinidad? Any pre-requisites as well?

[rmrunner]

1) Certificate from NEC in Electrical Installation or Equivalent( Electrical Engineering Diploma etc)
2) 23 Yrs and Older
3) 3 Yrs Practical Electrical Experience
4) Recommendation from Licensed Wire man OR a Past employer(No Need to be licensed)
5) Write Exam ( I believe it was 80% Pass mark)
6) Pay for issue of License

Books Needed:
1) TTBS Low Voltage Electrical Wiring Code ( buy at TTBS or sit in library and Read)
2) TTEC Wiring for light and Power ( You get this for free on TTEC website)

Underhand Method:
Persons offer a run down course on Electrical Installation for $3500 and hand you the license.

For More Info the head office is Electrical Inspectorate in Arouca.

(not the underhanded one)

Roughly two months. Normally there is an exam sitting every month but only when you go into head office they will let you know when the closest exam is and if they have space.

Why would you want to do it underhanded

I would like to compare it to the proper method. Also would you know the cost of doing it the proper way?

There is no underhand method if you start this way they your are down the wrong road electricity is a serious thing and ppl can loose their lives if you do the wrong thing

[urbandilema]

Always remember too if u planning on getting it's a responsibility and integrity your name will be signing on off your jobs or even someone asks..again how the previous tuner said electricity is dangerous

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

SBCS offers both Residential and Industrial NEC certificates in Electrical Installation which they say qualifies for the license

However ATC offers EEET Diploma from City and Guilds which they say qualifies for license.

So the thing is, does that mean EEET City and Guilds carry the same weight as NEC Electrical Installation?

From the looks of it, it looks like the $16,000 that ATC is charging for this course may be cheaper than SBCS where you have to do 2 courses

[daring dragoon]

is there an age cap in getting the wireman license? can a person in 40's / 50's get their wireman license?
i am hearing the cap is 25 years.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

No age cap when last I asked around.

Both Atc($17,000) and Sbcs($11,000) offering the course to get you to the wireman's exam. It's 1 year long and you get the cert from City of Guilds. Sbcs also has an intro course for around 3k.

[pugboy]

dont forget you need to get a link with an inspector most importantly
a licensed electrician is nothing without his inspector link

[shake d livin wake d dead]

As with almost everything else in Trinidad^...sad to say

[pugboy]

easily the most blatant corrupt organization in the country
they make no bones about charging fees when the official fee supposed to be a few hundred or so

As with almost everything else in Trinidad^...sad to say

For someone with a BSc Degree in Electrical Engineering, does anyone know what is the requirements for the license

[16 cycles]

Reckon same process and lots of experience.

Doubt BSc would cover specifics in T&Ts code for house wiring.

[adnj]

For someone with a BSc Degree in Electrical Engineering, does anyone know what is the requirements for the license

Your degree along with two letters of recommendation from licensed wiremen are required to take the exam.

[Pirate]

yeah.
That's right.

[zoom rader]

BSC is over kill,

Normally it's a craft, city & guilds or EET required

[pugboy]

yeah i don’t think i have met any electrician with degrees

what about inspectorate inspectors ?
how yuh does become one?
what is qualifications. required apart from degree in bribes

[alfa]

I think they should accept the bsc and even though it's overkill in this economy even engineers looking to do lil PJ on the side to

[Pirate]

I think what he is asking is if someone already has a BSc if thay can get a wireman's license without doing an actual wireman's course.

[zoom rader]

I think what he is asking is if someone already has a BSc if thay can get a wireman's license without doing an actual wireman's course.

Nope, he has to do the test , it's like a driving test. Even if u are formula 1 race car driver you will still need a drivers permit for the public roads

You have completely misinterpreted the post that you replied to.

The answer has already been given:

2 recommendations
Take the exam

yeah. I meant they just didn't have to do the course.
They still have to write the exam, and pass...
