• I have high school graduation (or the equivalent) AND at least eight (8) years of full-time or equivalent part-time paid experience in building maintenance, building construction, or in the installation and maintenance of building electrical or heating systems.
• I have a combination of successful completion of study from an accredited college or university in buildings trades OR related business or vocational school training AND full-time or equivalent part-time paid experience in building maintenance, building construction, or in the installation and maintenance of building electrical or heating systems. In order to qualify with this option, you may substitute the accredited college or university experience for the required experience at the rate of thirty (30) semester hours = 1 year of qualifying experience for up to two (2) years of the required experience. For related business or vocational school training, you may substitute successfully completed related coursework at the rate of every ninety (90) clock hours = one (1) month of qualifying experience, every 540 clock hours = 6 months of qualifying experience, or every 1,080 = 1 year of qualifying experience (up to a total of 2 years.)

If you have completed two (2) years of high school, you would need to have two (2) years of qualifying experience in addition to the eight (8) years required by the minimum qualifications for a total of ten (10) years of qualifying experience, and so on.
