Question: Hey everyone, I am new to the site and really excited about this forum.I have been lost in it for hours now and am loving the amount of knowledge I am soaking up, thanks!So I just started working for myself as a EC and I have insurance and I just filed for my Pennsylvania contractors license and have been able to get licenses in some townships in the philly suburbs. I would really like to get a masters license from the ICC so that I am covered everywhere. I was wondering if there is any schools in the area that offer some test crash course or a short program. I would really like to take the test but know I am in no way ready for it. I live in Pottstown and I cant seem to find any schools in the area that even know what I am talking about. All of the older electricians I know are Grand Fathered in everywhere and I feel real alone in trying to figure out all that I need to do to be a fully licensed electrician in Pennsylvania.Thanks in advance, again I am new and highly respect you guys for your input!-Mike Robinson
