Requireing that tradesman take a minimum of 3 ceus every two years is very minimal when compared to many othe occupations which require ceus such as barbers, hairdressers and such. CEU's are required nation wide so that licensed occupations stay current in the respective field. I talk with many students and Journeyman in the field and the issue is, that many tradesman see no need to get a license because it is not enforced by many employers or the state and local jursdications. Many Journeyman have let there license drop due to working under someone in the field who does same work for more pay. In Oklahoma every electricain is required to have a license in order to work. The Extra work required for tradesman to recieve thier license simply does not payoff. In return the quality of work becomes substandard. If on large job the ratio of nonlicense electricains is much higher than licensed and the pay is much the same. The people that suffer are those who have systems installed by unqualified tradesman with a Masters license holder miles away. Electrical is only taken seriously when a fire happens related to electrical in which many times can be prevented if a safe installation was done. Makeing the license worth something will help the trade and those who are haveing tradesman install equipment. Who who think of haing an unlicensed doctor perform sevrice on us yet an unlicensed electrican can work in a home with supervision miles away. just a thought.
