I have taken & passed the 'Electrical Inspector General' IAEI 7-8 yrs ago. It was comprable to my masters.

I think there is a misunderstanding that it automatically makes you an inspector...not so.

Does your City or State require that their electrical inspector be "licensed, certified, qualified, or are they otherwise appointed?"

State inspectors here, many knowledgable people, just too da** few of them. I believe that they had all achieved an NFPA level credential recently, but i'm not sure what...
