[RE-wrenches] NABCEP test

[North Texas Renewable Energy Inc]

Gives a whole new meaning to non-profit.

  My favorite part was when the test results arrived by mail, it had a
postage due notice on it.

  Had to pony up more $$ to tell if I passed or failed!!

  my favorite part of the test was sitting for an ultra detailed exam that
expected you to have certain things memorized that no engineer or
electrician does't use resources for (like voltage drop, lag bolt ratings,
and the rest) and getting the letter with the test location with the wrong
address on it!



  I was sent to:

  810 n. Poinsettia Santa Ana 92647



  when the actual address was:

  810 n. Poinsettia St. Santa Ana 92701



  Imagine my surprise when I drove 40 miles to a city I barley know for a
test you can't take if you are late, and I arrive in a sub-division!

  And yes, having a St, Rd or Ln is a big part of finding the place, as well
as the correct zipcode!



  Nick I agree, but what really got me was all the "most safe" questions. I
am glad that it is hard, however, because now that a c-10 can take it after
2 installs I think it is pretty hard to really expect too much respect. That
being said, combined with my 6 years of installing, it is a nice additional
credential.
