First, of course, is apprentice. You work under journeyman and what you are allowed to do without supervision is very limited. Even with supervision, there are lots of shit you can't do. It's basically just getting some hands-on experience. You'll need

Journeyman license:
Two years of practical experience in the trade and a degree or certification showing the completion of a two year program from either a trade or technical school, or a community college; or
Four years of practical experience in the trade and 240 hours of formal vocational training in the trade; or
Five years of practical experience in the trade and 160 hours of formal vocational training in the trade; or
Six years of practical experience in the trade and 80 hours of formal vocational training in the trade; or
A bachelor’s degree received from an accredited college or university in an engineering curriculum related to the trade and 1 year of practical experience in the trade; or
Ten years of practical experience in the trade, verified by an affidavit from those who observed the candidate’s work in the trade

Master license:
One year of practical experience as a licensed Virginia journeyman; or
Ten years of practical experience in the trade, verified by an affidavit from those who observed the candidate’s work in the trade.

Above is a standart, colorado http://cdn.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/DORA-Reg/CBON/DORA/1251633446704 writes a bit different, but I'm sure they also use same stuff. You can try contacting them for more info

>Requirements for license can vary from country to country. I suggest trying to contact someone from government at some safety institutes or talking to either engineers at company or with professors at technical universities. I'm saying this as electronics engineer who had to undergo electrical safety test (got certificate)
