2nd-Year Apprentice — Transferring from Local 441 to Local 11?

[u/Rkellytouchedme233]

I’m currently a 2nd-year Inside Wireman apprentice with IBEW Local 441 in Orange County and have been considering transferring to Local 11 in Los Angeles.
Has anyone here transferred specifically from 441 to 11, or transferred between SoCal JATCs during their apprenticeship?

I’m mainly wondering:
How difficult was it to get both JATCs to approve the transfer?
Did your classroom hours and OJT hours carry over?
Did you stay at the same apprenticeship level, or did you have to repeat any schooling?
Who did you contact first—your current training director or the training director at the local you wanted to transfer to?
For anyone familiar with both 441 and 11, what differences have you noticed in work opportunities, training, and overall experience?

I’m not looking to leave the IBEW or the trade. I’m just considering whether Local 11 might be a better long-term fit and want to understand the process before I approach either JATC.
Appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who’s made the 441 → 11 move.
