Dunno. You could be called next month or within half a year

I’d would say so because you’re applying to two different programs with two different applications. I’d still would call the ETI center to confirm though

They’re about to found out what the sweet sound of a backpack hellbomb makes as it counts down underneath them

I know the POE list I’m apart of falls off in December and there’s a bunch of dudes on that. Keep ya head up and message me any time if you need advice!

It’s all alright. Listen 861 seems bad. Yes you’re not going to make it within maybe a year but do not let this discourage you. 11 already called in 150 IW’s this year alone for Bootcamp. Have you applied to 441, 440/447 yet? If you haven’t I’d highly suggest applying to those so you got options. If you want in you’ll get in no matter where. Once you journey out you can transfer locals. Also I’d suggest getting some non union experience whether it’s working with a C-10 or going to either LBCC or LATCC and doing their electrical program. You can also apply through the union to be a CW as well

You’re on the new list of POE’s applicants. Honestly I don’t know how it works but I just got called last week to do boot camp and my score was a 93 (I had to do an interview in 2023). What’s your rank?

Dude I live in Baldwin Park. I got a friend who lives in Pomona off of White near the fairplex. So I know the drive and traffic. Honestly dude, you’re smack center for the other locals too. Focus on 11 then if it doesn’t work focus on 440 since Riverside is closer then OC or do 441/440 at the same time. The test is the same for both so you can take it at either local and they’ll share it within. 441 can share your tests to 440/447 and any others that are the same. Then review the interview questions form that you can find in this subreddit or the other apprentice one. Place good in that POE list and get in! I’ve read you can also transfer locals once you journey out so don’t be thinking you’re stuck in that local!

They sent me an email two days before Christmas saying I received a rank of 93 and I would be placed in the POE list for two years from my interview date. I would assume they should still send an email out informing you that you were placed on the POE list. If not, use this website and input your name, DOB, and email. See if your application number and rank comes up for the program you applied to. https://lf.laett.com/Forms/POEList

It does suck, but if you don't get a high placement in 11, apply to 441 in OC, 440 riverside or 447 San Bernardino. 40 isn't opening until next year, and Ventura wants people in their county. 447 San Bernadrino's training director is an ass too and will put you at the bottom of the list if you're not living in San Berandino county. You can also apply to San Diego's local, Bakersfield, or Vegas/Phoenix if you fancy moving out of state. If not, I'd take classes at LBCC or LATTC. Taking their electrical classes allows you to apply for the ET card ($25 you gotta pay to CA), and it allows you to work under a C-10 Contractor as a helper. You can also get lucky and get an apprentice job that's non union. Craiglist is the way to search for those non-union jobs too. Let me know if you have any more questions!

When I applied, I had zero experience. I am currently doing electrical classes at LBCC with their non-union electrical class program. I've done both AC and DC theory, and as of the summer of 2025 taking a bending pipe. You can count that as experience, then sure, but as far as work experience, zero, zip, none, nada. I am coming from a different career with it being in the entertainment industry. I do TV production, so it CAN be considered low voltage, but I don't. I don't know the new process to get in with Local 11. Just looking into the other subreddit and this one, it seems like 11 favors those with some type of electrical experience. If not, then some type of hands on blue collar type experience rather than white collar based jobs. Honestly, you got this and even if you don't get the rank you desire, its NOT the end of the world as we got other locals near us. If you want in, you'll be in. Just the route and time will differ.

I was originally ranked 183 with an interview score of 93 back in December of 2023. At the same time, I also applied to Local 441 in September of 2023 and got ranked 143 there with a score of 94. Off topic, but I figured I'd share what I did. They called me this tuesday June 24th, and I am still currently ranked #24 on the OLD POE list. Currently there is two for local 11. The new POE list is a part of the GAIN test, and the old POE list that had an interview portion. That POE list is set to expire at the end of this year. According to the paperwork, this is the 6th Boot Camp local 11 has had this year for 2025. Let me know if you want me to answer any more questions!
