I almost forgot that I'm on the list to take the Electrical Assessment at the GCA Trades Academy. It's one way of getting my credentials as a Journeyman instead of going back to the beginning and starting all over.
The assessment program tests our performance and written knowledge. We get a certificate for both areas, should we pass. But if we complete and pass both the performance and written test. The candidate get a certificate plus to acknowledge that he passed both areas of the assessment program.
I'm looking forward to it. The Electrical Field will always be my background, even though I am switching career fields to Safety Officer. Being an electrician is my fall back, a plan B. I just want to finish something that I've started since 1984 and have not the opportunity to complete for one reason or another. It really sucks trying to apply for a job as an electrician and getting the pay of a labor/helper because I don't have the credentials to back me up. Yet, I know more than some credentialed electricians that I've worked for.
Another grant will be paying for this assessment. Certainly a blessing.
