No, this is a brand new electrical inspector certification program for residential and "Master" Electrical Inspectors that will be a joint effort between NFPA and IAEI.

It's my understanding tha the test will include some discussion of images showing violations and the person who is taking the test must identify them. I think they are planning on using the 1999 NEC to start out, but the 2002 NEC may be used as well. If I showed an image of some old Knob and Tube would you be able to look back into your old codes, or use the most recent?

See Article 394 in the 2002 NEC and Article 324 in the 1999 NEC for Concealed Knob-and-Tube Wiring
