First comment
I’m so proud 🥺
🐐🐐
You’re too kind ⚡️
You should do a video on the pre apprenticeship class Pre-APP
I’ve thought about it! I don’t know a lot about it other than it’s a great way to get your foot in the door. I need to do some research on it but I’ll probably make a video about it eventually.
@MadElectrician well at my local its a requirement to become indentured. Im taking it right now
You pretty much start learning dc theory, history of the ibew , orientation, rules, osha 10, cpr/ first aid etc.
Also you should do a video about 1st theough 5th year pay scale hours needed . The CW program at the hall things like that. Idk if they have the CW option at your hall. But you can get your hours by working as a Construction Wireman. Pay is less than apprenticeship but you get the experience
You were a stoner before you joined the union weren’t you? Love your vids, much respect.
What makes you say that? 😂
Never smoked anything in my life actually.
I guess it’s just your chill, positive vibe. Nothing wrong with that.
You racists SOB! hahah … I’ll find you one day DB Cooper!
Another great video man
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it ⚡️
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! ⚡️
How long did you have to wait for them to contact you after your interview I got an 88% on my interview and I’m ranked number 20 and I’ve been waiting for like 1 month and a half
Hey Michael!
They let me know my rank within a couple of weeks of interviewing. It ended up taking a few months after that before I started my apprenticeship. I’d recommend reaching out to your training center and asking them an estimated time that they think you’ll start. 20 is a great rank!
Thank for the help man love the channel
Anytime! Happy to hear that! ⚡️
This video is so helpful dude! Youve inspired me to just go for it and apply for my local BOCES program leading to an apprenticeship right out of highschool so keep making great videos and thanks for the advice 🤘🏻
Thank you. It was very helpfull
Thank you. It was very helpfull
It’s my pleasure, Cesar! Happy to hear it! ⚡️
S. OR resident here, looking to go in for my interview on the 9th. 🤞
My biggest issue seems to be in paring down my skillset and keeping it topical. I have an AAS in Electronics Technology, experience in robotics/mechatronics, programming, embedded development, diagnostics/troubleshooting and repair, VoIP communications, etc. etc. And that doesn’t cover the half of it…
To ask a rhetorical question, how the hell do I utilize my interview time wisely to convey to them that I know my stuff and seen some stuff without coming off as an ‘over qualified’ know-it-all while still showing interest in learning the trade?
Anyways, thanks for doing what you do and putting out valuable information.
Thank you for all your helpful videos. It helped me know what to study for exam and i aced it. Interview in a few days. Keep up the good work💪🏽🤙🏽
Thanks Chelsey!
I’m really happy to hear that!
I definitely will ⚡️
Nice, do an update on how it goes. Good luck
@PNWLiving1725 thank you🙏🏽it went well, i got in🤙🏽 However had to pass down the opportunity. My other half didnt support my career change.🤷🏽♀️
@chelseykahomealoha1769 what is good to know for the interview? Anything they would like to hear, I just took my test and want to make sure I study well and give it my best, kind regards, thanks
@escentgaming1986 Aloha! Arrive early, be yourself, make eye contact, and dress professional. If this is what you truely want, your light will shine during the interview. Good luck🤙🏽you got this
Great great stuff man! Thanks so much for this info! All of this is over-whelming! hah
You’re very welcome! Making these videos is my absolute pleasure. I know it can be overwhelming, but hopefully this all helps with that. A lot of people trying to get into the trade won’t be taking it near as seriously as I did or you probably are, so while it might be overwhelming, the more you do now to really make sure you kill it in every step of the process, the better your chances will be of getting in. ⚡️
Wow, that’s a great perspective! Thanks again!
I’m hoping to apply for my local in November…hopefully they’ll take applications this year 🙏🏽
Right on DJ!
Hoping they do too for you!
Wishing you the best of luck with the whole process once it starts for you. Definitely use this time now to prepare and make yourself the best possible applicant that you can.
@MadElectrician thank you! I plan on taking a math refresher course. I did a practice ibew test and sucked at it so I hope the course will remind me of things… you guys rock thabk you!
Hey so I know this isn’t exactly relevant to the topic of the video, but as someone interested in potentially becoming an electrician I have a question:
Is the job really difficult? Not just to learn, but in general? I ask because I am on the spectrum and generally jobs are really difficult and overwhelming for me. Even a simple warehouse job that the majority of people wouldn’t find that difficult can definitely take me longer than most to adjust and get the hang of things. However I want to find a career for myself eventually and I need to overcome this but I still have worries that I’ll try and get into this and find it too complicated/too difficult and just quit. Maybe I should stop doubting myself but it’s still a worry of mine.
You can do anything you put your mind to. Effort and patience will take you anywhere you want to go. I say go for it man.
Man i really hope everything goes well when i apply, im 16 and have watched most of your videos and already have everything set up like what im gonna say on the interview and gathering everything i can for my resume and trying to add to it so ill be ready when i turn 18, your videos have really helped a lot and made being prepared so much easier, thank you!
Hey Adam!
That’s so great to hear and you’re absolutely welcome! You’re way ahead of the game if you are already looking into this at 16, so good for you! You sound like you have a very bright future ahead of you! ⚡️
all I did was take the aptitude test and get an email saying classes started around Christmas. Now we’re 5-6 months behind and rushing school to meet hours but I won’t get a re-rate until I hit 2,000 OJT hours. which if I don’t get laid off or sick won’t be until January. south Florida seems to not care this year with only 5 out of 27 guys working 3 months in. Although I hear from 3rd and 4th year guys they aren’t taught and essentially have to cheat and learn at work. disheartening to say the least.
Gotta keep your into short man, thanks for the video tho
Love your videos, sharing your channel to my buddy who also wants to become an electrician.
Right on! I’m happy to hear that!
I really appreciate you sharing my channel too, so thank you! ⚡️
Hey mad electrician I got my apprenticeship interview today and I’m praying I crush it.
Right on, Joe! How do you feel like you did?
@MadElectrician I feel like I did pretty good! They said that I am an eligible and all the questions they asked me i was able to answer decently. Now just waiting now for my score to see if i need petition for a re-interview.
Yeah you do! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hoping you make it in! ⚡️
@MadElectrician how long did it take for you to find out your score?
Hey man, I have my aptitude test in a couple of weeks. I am hopefully going to have my interview shortly after, is there any advice you could provide me with?
Awesome man! I think I covered just about everything I would recommend in the aptitude test and interviews video. Have you seen those already? If not, I think they will help a lot! ⚡️
Roughly how many apprentices are hired each year in your local union? Any estimates?
Also does becoming a material handler count for “work experience in the electrical construction industry?”
Hey Jonathan!
It all depends on which IBEW local you’re applying to and how busy their local is. We are pretty busy here at local 48 in Portland, Oregon so we are hiring apprentices very often. When I got into the apprenticeship they were bringing in 18 new apprentices every month. If you call your local union they’ll be able to give you a good estimate, but that’s what things typically look like here. Hope that helps!
@MadElectrician thank you so much, this is such an amazing channel and I really appreciate you responding so quickly.
It’s my pleasure! Anytime! Thanks for watching my videos!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and helping me understand the process! I really relate to a lot of your story. Im currently serving my church as a volunteer worship leader and do a lot of scheduling and i love it but it doesn’t pay the bills. Im so torn. I just recently applied to the apprentice program here in NY (Local 43) and passed the aptitude test and will have my interview soon. The reason why I’m torn is that i don’t want to give up on serving my church but i also see that i need a career because i cant keep working at dead end jobs… Did you find it hard to balance being an apprentice and ministry? Did you have to give up on for the other? Any advice would be appreciated.
Hey! I was wondering how your process is going with applying at Local 43? That is the closest local to me so I’m curious.
Hey, I’ve got a little question for you, I need some advice.
So I’m 17, nearly out of high school, I’ve got severe ADHD and I ‘ve been looking to get into the trades because I’m almost certain I can’t pass college.. ADHD is where you unintentionally tune out people whether you want to or not. I can sit there reading a page or listening to somebody talking for several minutes and pick up on about half of the conversation/page. I figured out getting into the trades was the most promising for me, I don’t want to go to college, get in debt, leave without a degree because I don’t have the memory retention to pass.
Electricians make decent money and it’s not as physically demanding as the other trades, but my family insists that it’s a terrible idea because I can get shocked and lose my life because of me not being able to listen. How likely are you to get shocked out on the job? how likely are you to get seriously injured being shocked? would you recommend me getting into the electrical field? Or should I get into plumbing? Pay isn’t as good but It’s way safer. I would prefer electrical work, for the sake of my body, I hear being a plumber strains your body every day and plumbers often find themselves working in obnoxiously awkward positions.
My goal is to make 75,000 a year.
I have ADHD too. Don’t let that discourage you at all man, just do things that will ensure your safety. Ask questions if you’re not sure, write things down/take notes to help you remember things.
@tayvonrose2528 We all have AD just no the HD. To be great at what you do AD is good
hi can u help me do a video review for 2021 new upgraded digital multimeter ,it is multi functional and MINI,we can offer u a free product tks
is there any certifications i can get to improve my chances of getting hired in the union ?
Bro got the sauce 👌🏾👌🏾
The secret sauce 🔥
What is the earliest you would get up as an electrician what is the earliest call time ?
It all completely varies from job to job, company to company, etc. Our schedule at the hospital is from 6-2:30, so I would typically wake up at 4:30. These days now that I’m a foreman, I go in an hour early do get extra things done. So I try to be at work by 5am and I wake up at 3:40 every morning.
What about getting into a pre-apprenticeship? That would be another good option to get into before applying to the apprenticeship right?
Ok so when I finish my trade school with an electrician license do I still have to do an apprenticeship
Hey Steven, I got a question. Right now I work as material handler on a warehose but, is not related to electrician. Can I put that on my resume? Thank you for reading my comment.
Do you still think thousands of people applying to the IBEW Local 48 a couple of years later? I’ve heard that we may be at the beginning of a trades crisis but was curious what your experience with that has been at 48
4th year trying to get into the craft definitely not going to give up one day some one will give me the chance
Bro is from the gresham area 😎
If you are hiring where can I submit my resume I’m in Gresham
I’m working on my application for IBEW 520 today and your videos have been incredibly helpful! Thank you for being such a great resource
I’m applying to IBEW 520 to do you have any tips?
I got my interview letter a couple weeks ago. Took my exam last August. My interview is the second week in March. I’ve been watching your videos since around the time I took my exam.
I’m now watching your videos about the interview. As I’m sitting here watching this one, I realize I’m wearing the exact same sweatshirt you are😂
Friends, after 6 months of hard work, I’ve just finally completed and launched my online electrician pre-apprenticeship course! This course is self paced and designed to help you get accepted into an apprenticeship program, and then hit the ground running once you start. You will always have access to the course after purchasing, and that also means you’ll have access to any updates or additional lessons that I end up adding. Upon completion, you’ll get an official certificate that you can add to your portfolio when you have your apprenticeship interview. I believe that there is no better online resource that will help you be prepared for and get accepted into an electrician apprenticeship program ⚡️

What if I did only firefighting courses for high school, and then became a firefighter. Should I not include that?
Great video and information
