Reno:
As an AHJ, I've heard ALL of the above over various instances.
IMHO, CE helps, but it will ONLY help IF the guys that sign-up and pay whatever fees.....PAY ATTENTION.
Like it or not, IT's LAW, and required in NJ to renew your Lic & BP.
Yes, it can be a financial 'gain' for some, but, like LK said, there's a whole lot of work in preparation and obtaining approvals from the Board, and PAPERWORK.
Sure, there may be 'corruption' within the system, after all this is New Jersey. The NJEIA runs a tight ship, the Board can & does spot check; and the results of any 'funny business' can and will result in Lic suspension, revocation, and $$$$ fines for all parties involved.
Time permitting, I have to go back to the top of this thread & absorb the firestorm.
Anyone wishing to carry this further with me, feel free to e-mail me direct. Responses may be 'slow', as Wed is a long day, 8 hrs AHJ & then teach apprentices at Vo-Tech.
