Habbbby,
In PA, it is a Journeymans CARD not really a license. It is issued by the state. Most apprenticeship programs will allow you advanced placement in the educational part by taking tests(you may only need one or two years of evening class, instead of four). The state will give you credit for previous work history for up to 6400 of the 8000 hrs. required, if you can document the experience.I know this sounds extreme, but if you really want the credential, you might get a job with a company that has a program.I actually convinced my company to start a program. It requires minimal effort on the companys part.Just sign a few papers and agree to a structured pay scale of their own choosing.
