A person who passed a license exam in 75 and has never opened a code book since, (let's say because he has stayed inside a factory somewhere) surly wouldn't pass an inspection today wiring to what he remembered as code at that time.

A one time exam without Continuing Education isn't worth much.

If nothing else, it will make them aware of the fact codes change (which is what most CEU's are as LK says)

Greg, no book testing or classes will make a skilled Mechanic, and as far as the sorry contractor you are talking about, let me say Welcome to FL. (or anywhere really)

This Crook will be the same Continuing Education or not, that is why I question how this subject became part of this thread.

Nobody has said a small licensed contractor working out of his car or pickup is not responsible or slacks in knowledge or workmanship.
