I don't think a prep course should be considered cheating, just smart. I took a 7 day(over 3 weekends) course before I took my license exam. I scored a 91. Over half of the people who took the course still failed the exam. If I hadn't taken the course I too would have failed, not because the course gave me the answers, but because without it I wouldn't have known how to find the correct answer in the time allowed. I'm a better electrician because of the prep course I took, I learned things that I hadn't needed in the past, but might in the future. And Georgia does require continuing ed, but that is a joke, 2 hours every 2 years and almost anything counts.
