7 years ago, I started apprenticing for my friend (A-ticket electrician) at his newly started company. My original plan was to take night courses (ACE Learning Center) and challenge each level to get my ticket. I've gone as far as completing my level 2 before the company got super busy and I just couldn't find the time for school.

Recently I've found some time but the ITA has changed the rules and you can't challenge levels 3 and 4 in BC anymore.

So my question is should I start at level 3 at BCIT or should I start all over again from level 1 since BCIT is much more thorough in their teaching? I've counted up my hours from since I started and have close to 15,000 hours of work experience.

Thanks for reading!
Im currently finishing up my last week of level 2. Pretty much my instructor teaches for a few hours then gives you a shitload of worksheets. Bcit is not thorough its more self driven and repetition with all the worksheets. Level 1 was a cake walk and not worth your time or money. Level 2 a bit harder but not by much. I havent done any homework or studying and im averaging 80%. Imo if youre good at math i would start at level 3. Hope that helps
