Maybe the guys doing the road shows selling CEUs should be including a swimming pool module in their suite of courses and make it a punch you need for license renewal, particularly in places where pools are prevalent.

The basic concepts of pool wiring are not really that complicated. Basically you bond everything and you use a GFCI everywhere. The exceptions are few and it doesn't hurt if you do extra bonding or GFCI things that don't require it.

It sounds like these guys worked on a "broken" pool light and disabled the GFCI to get it going. That seems to be the only thing they could have done to draw a criminal charge.
I still have questions like were they licensed? Were their supervisors charged? I am sure Hilton will be sued.
