Since CT just added the CE requirement, it will take some time before all the bugs are worked out and it the wheels get moving. But only one provider so far? That is ridiculous in a state of 3.3 million. Then again, we just adopted the 2002 NEC last July, so why are I surprised? Peter

Peter I think my buddy Al is talking about one CT certified provider located here in MA. I hope you all down there have more options then that. Bob

Peter, sorry for the confusion. Tim was asking about MA providers. Only one MA provider is certified by CT at this time. We either go to him or travel to CT for a course. I would hope you have many choices in CT. Al

Bob and Al, thanks, makes sense now. Obviously, I haven't really investigated the situation enough but there is more than enough hearsay going around about the new requirement. A lot of grumbling too. I also keep hearing (from certified instructors) that they are going to lengthen the term of apprenticeship to 5 years from its current 4 years. If it's true and they do, we can expect even less people entering the trade.

BTW, you Mass. guys shouldn't have much trouble with a CT class, seeing as how it's based on the 2002 NEC. Don't mind us here, there's only a 4 year delay in the code cycle.

I thought the CT course was 7 hours per year for three years and it includes specific instruction including the CT building Code can any one verify this

Charlie, I will do some research, ask some people, and try to get a solid answer.

So if CT is on 2002, do I use a 2005 update certificate or my last one for 2002?

The CEU requirement for Connecticut is indeed 7 hours per year.
