Do you do commercial? Do you think your licensing exam should test you on what items require emergency power, which items require standby power, where emergency illumination is required and where exit signage is required?

Yes to all. I've seen some of the work by so called professionals.

The exam prep course I took made no mention of building codes, although I was aware of them. I think if we, as electricians were exposed to the building codes, and not from the School of Hard Knocks, we would be better off. The problem is that not many community colleges offere courses on Building Codes for Electricians/Plumbers/HVAC techs.
They offer the course for carpenters.

As professionals in our work, it is not for the different codes to come seeking us, it is for us to seek whatever information (including codes) that we need to be successful in our endevors. I know guys do not want to hear this. Yet I preach it and teach it in the meetings and classes I attend/provide.

I tell all of my students that there is so much more to this business than the NEC... but I also take the step to help them to understand what resources they do need. It is up to them to actually read it. I even go as far as to help them tab/highlight their other resources.
