Luisa,
It appears the FAQ's on the DAS website have been changing regularly. Previously it stated any entity could provide continuing education, and is now limited. I see clearly why the "any entity" part would need to be cleaned up, but now appears to exclude excellent sources of continuing education/training such as:
Mike Holt Enterprises http://www.mikeholt.com/index.php?id=homegeneral
National Fire Protection Association http://www.nfpa.org/catalog/category.asp?category_name=Training+|+National+Electrical+Code&Page=1&src=fpw
International Association of Electrical Inspectors http://www.iaei.org/education/seminartopics.html
International Codes Council http://www2.iccsafe.org/Training_Education/Seminar/nbceu.cfm
Underwriters Laboratories http://www.uluniversity.us/Common/NCSResponse.aspx?RenderText=ContinuingEducation
Please consider the inclusion of a fourth option as I have suggested in the following italic text. The listed entities are directly related to the California electrical industry and it would be unfortunate to exclude any of them. I feel that clearly listing these entities will clear up any confusion in this matter. Also these entities do not exclude anyone based on political, union, non-union, or any other bias, other than that they are strictly electrically affiliated in nature.
"Who may offer continuing education?
1) community colleges, public school districts, public educational institutions; or,
2) a state-licensed private post-secondary institution under contract with a community college, public school district, or public educational institution; or,
3) federal or state apprenticeship programs"; or,
4) professionally recognized electrical entities, including: Mike Holt Enterprises, National Fire Protection Association, International Association of Electrical Inspectors, International Codes Council, Underwriters Laboratories, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, National Electrical Contractors Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and Wyotech
Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this matter,
