Here in Connecticut, there is two "electrical" licenses’, E1 and E2
An E1 can do any form of electrical work; up to the power company connection point, an E2 can do the same, but only in the employ of an E1. Apprentices don't count as E2 till they have passed an exam.
There used to be an E-9 license here for Residential only, but that got phased out many years ago.
As far as low voltage, there is wayyyyy to many licenses’ [see below] phone only, low voltage upto x voltage, low voltage up to y voltage, kinda confusing, and sadly, those separation lines are crossed often.
