I'll hold on the political deeper portion for now. I think I remember you doing Certification Prep right? Do you have any contact with the "Trainee Classes" or "Apprenticeship Classes"? My questions are more about them...

  1. Are classes getting packed?
  2. Are more opening up?
  3. Are they placing people on prior experiance?
  4. Are they job placing thier applicants?
  5. Are they going to open merit side classes in SF? (I know that ones a tough one - but will they try?)
One more - any word on enforcement?

I have to get with my source on your questions.

The trainee classes you are talking about: Are they the ones that allow you to keep working without a Cert. Card?

Question #3: Do you mean can someone skip the Level 1 stuff based on experience?

The latest on enforcement is on the state website. I will ask about any rumors about what's coming.

Question #3: Do you mean can someone skip the Level 1 stuff based on experience? Exactly, I have heard about it, but not possitive as of yet...

The latest on enforcement is on the state website. I will ask about any rumors about what's coming.

You know where this INFO ON ENFORCEMENT IS? EVERYONE wants to know.....

Doh... I found it....

Oh, apparently there isn't any except for Public Works and rat-u-out complaints...
