Actually, electricians, like many other 'handy-man' type fields (plumbing, carpentry, etc.) don't necessarily require higher education, but it can help get your foot in the door.  The minimum requirements are usually a high school diploma with a minimum 2.5 GPA.\n\nDepending on where you live, your local Electrician Union will host an exam approximately every 3 months or so.  From my understanding, it's mostly a math test, with a few basic electrical questions thrown in.  If you pass the test, you get brought in for an interview at the Union headquarters.  This interview is scored (based on your past experiences in the field & the sincerity of your interest), and your combined test & interview score determines where you get placed on the hiring list.  From there, companies looking to hire new recruits contact the Union, who gives them the names on this list, in order.\n\nOnce you've been hired, you'll spend roughly half your time out working, and half your time in the classroom (this varies widely by the company, however).  As you gain more experience & advance further in school, you move up in rank (from apprentice to journeyman) and see significant raises in pay.\n\nIf you're in a highly competitive market, this is where going to school can help - it will add to your interview score.  Otherwise, work experience in other related fields, like construction, carpentry, anything involving electronics, etc. can also really help.\n\nYour other option would be to explore opportunities at non-union firms, however, there aren't nearly as many of these.  I'd approximate the ratio of union to non-union companies is about 4 to 1.  You'd probably need at least an associates degree to get hired by one of these companies.\n\nFor more information, try typing in IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and your city and/or county into Google.  Hopefully a link to your local IBEW will pop up.\n\nGood luck!

It's called a General Education Development certificate. Call most any local high school and ask where to find out more information. These are frequently given at local colleges. They usually take four hours or so and there's a small fee.
