ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area California Certification

Problem with splitting the State... is where does it get split? I vote for splitting from just south, or north of Santa Cruz then due east.

Anyway, I have alot of critizisms of this law, but this is what needs to change...

• Rest the certification of journeymen from the DAS, to the CSLB.
• Re-vamp the testing to be more reflective of real world trade knowlege, rather than a reading, or english language comrehention test. (Right now the test is solely code interpitaion, look at the NEC forum here and see how braodly some things could be interpitated as...) Add more installation, circuit design, electrical and job-site safety. Dare I say it, something simular to the inside wiremans exam...
• Re-vamp the law I mentioned above to allow more programs that can actually meet the real demand for labor. (Allow the expansion of existing, like ABC etc. Community Colleges... And even allow privatization of coursework, with manditory supervised OJT.)

I'm a million % behind Electure, some of you guys seem to have a very SHORT memory!.
It wasn't that long ago when we were locking out threads here for the same reason.
As Scott said:
You know what annoys me the most?.
Is the fact that most of the people that are making all the noise here, haven't even been in the chat rooms lately.
Unreal.
