    When cable tying wires like this it is much easier to put the first tie at the very top. This way the cable is supported and you can then add the ties below without having to hold the heavy cable to the fixture.

    electrician from texas. You did clean work. Only criticism is land your wires first....then zip strip them. Once your journeyman verifies you landed everything correctly, clean it up with the zip strips. Keep up the great work young man.

    Is your apprenticeship all on the job? The one near me makes you go to class for 2 hours a day 2 days a week and has you do on the job training too. They don’t have IEC in my state, i’m in Louisiana.

    • @TheApprenticeToJourneyman
      @TheApprenticeToJourneyman  Месяц назад +1

      Yes sir my apprenticeship is all on the job training, Honestly I wish I had the option to go to class a few hours a week. But for right now I just try to stay in the code book & ask questions when I don’t understand something.. I would call some local shops in your area and see what they say. Me personally I don’t think the school option is a bad choice just depends on what you’re looking for. Hope that helps & let me know how everything goes!👍🏽

      @@ClevelandMade216 I would look around your local area see if they something similar to the IEC, which is an independent contractor. If not I would call a shop that looks reputable speak with the Journeyman or Master electrician and see what process would you go through to work there with know experience. Someone will definitely give you an opportunity. I would call every shop in your area before I try the school route. Hopefully that was helpful let me know how it goes..
