First off - don't use capitals.

Second, have a rethink about your proposed move.

Most electrical work in the state of Florida requires that the electrician
has a valid state issued license. For more information see:

That gets really "iffy". It depends on the job location, who's doing the work,
what's being done and who the work is done for. For examples electrical work
performed for major telephone companies nation wide do not require a licensed
electrician because of the strict requirements imposed by the telcos. On the
other hand, in the city of Niagara Falls, NY, if you want to touch an electrical
wire you had not only be licensed but belong to the union as well or there's a
good chance the job will be shut down.

I don't know about Florida, but in NY employees can be covered by the
employer's license. (Right Jack?)

Unfortunately you will find that UK and US electrical has very little in
common; so I don't know if an employer will even consider your experience to
be worth much.
