CANT AFFORD TO TAKE OFF WORK AND NOT BE THERE FOR A 24/7 LIFE SAFETY BUSINESS..THIS ALL DOESNT MAKE SENSE.
I am a Locksmith and business owner for 45 years, it is very difficult for me to sit in a class during working hours. I disagree with your decision.
It's all about money. Classroom courses are over priced. If you live in central New Jersey like me travel to classroom courses adds at least 3 hours to your day.
It is very difficult if you live out of state to maintain a license with a board that requires in-state CEU's. They are going backwards.
Colleges offer online courses. That in itself should be enough. Unfortunately, if you look deep enough it is all about the money. The NJESA, wants your money plain and simple. They pressured the "Advisory Committee" to implement this rule so they can charge their ridiculous prices and force "classroom" attendance. It will probably never change because of that. It should be online completely for anyone that wishes to do so.
I enjoyed the online class much better than sitting in a classroom with people that did not want to be there.Did not have to miss work and have to lose money.
Right, it is all about money and the big companies because their "qualifiers" don't actually do the work! Us smaller guys, we have to loose work and pay top dollar for things we already know.

Get with the times, NJ! Online courses allow one to be productive from 9-5, and also increase learning and stay current on the latest tech and techniques whenever time allows!
