Let me try to help a little here, in jersey many of the inspectors, were noticing a lot of lic. contractors, did not know the current codes, so many of them believed the ceu's for code updates were needed, now; not all the contractors were lacking code know how but a large number were, as was noted in iwire's post, some din't open the book, and the ceu's may help bring them up to date, another benifit of the ceu's classes, is the benifit, of discussing the code issues, with others in your trade, as well as material presented in class, most of us here on ECN had the benifit of these discussions, on the forum, so the question; do ceu's work, can be measured by, did the inspectors find less problems with code issues, since ceu hours have been increased.
