Your labor affiliation nor your completion of an apprenticeship has NEVER been an indicator to me of Code knoweldge. Of course I only see a small percentage of electricians in the state as a city inspector.
The knowledgeable electricians who post here shows me it does not have to be this way.
I too also believe the certification program is a great thing and a benefit to participants, employers and customers.
Unfortunately it is not managed well. Wow, I was pretty nice to the DAS this time.
Even with good management of the program, the benefits would not be reaped for years.
