I was interviewed during my senior year in highschool by a local EC. The interview went great and next thing I new I was going through an I.E.C apprenticeship.
Years later, after becoming a J/W I was 'salted' in the local IBEW here in Chattanooga. Since the IBEW is a five year program, and the I.E.C was only a four year apprenticeship I agreed to go through the locals app' programs 4th and 5th yr classes to gain accreditation and recognition.
I never had to tak a test to join the local. That was probably because I had my certificates from the state and IEC stating that I had successfully completed the required training.
