NATE.....yes or no...just vote.....that's all.....2 questions..

[hvac45]

NO
Maybe, if used to cerify newbies out of school, if they fail the instructor pays it.

[airadams]

H-E-double toothpicks no and h-e-double hockey sticks no!!!

[Airhead]

Yes
Yes

(I wonder how many of the people who answered no failed the test?)

[Diceman]

They didn't take the test, why should they?
If ya wanna answer #3 like Reak said, go ahead, see how many took it.

Well, to get an accurate account of what is going on.

[vet]

Sounds like a no vote to me.

[hvacbear]

1 no
2 have'nt seen it

[swat]

yes

no --- Once a person studies and gets to a certain level only limited growth will occur afterwords. I think continuing ed is wonderfu and take as much as the company will offer or allow me time off to take. Company bennefits more than the tech does. The tech wont bennefit until they recieve immediate raises from the test and as it stands it is difficult to get them to commit to that.

[bmf]

i say

1# no

2# no

-Do you think Nate should be enforced at all, somehow??

-Is it really helping anyone other than those making money off it.

My answer:
NO &
NO

NATE is NOT enforced, it is voluntary. Wording a poll to get results when based upon false information is a waste of time dice. Hell looks like you had madeinusa type out the question for you!

No, I have been over here working, Diceman can handle himself I am sure.

When the voters speak in any process, there will always be nasayers.

[MikeJ]

No
Maybe
3)no

4) if it comes to this, yes, I did ride in a UFO but it was a long time ago and I can't talk about it.

[xpertser]

NO!
YES! "The suppliers of the test"


A multiple choice test is not worth taking.

I know, lets keep it that way. By enforced I mean Mfgs, and what not insisting you have it, which they will never do anyway, that's all, don't have a cow, just vote.

[Diceman]

There, that wasn't so bad now was it?

Hey, that UFO ride........me too, I can't talk about it either.

[Andy Schoen]

1. no
2. yes, anyone who studies for and passes a test pertinent to his trade will always benefit.
3. I'm not sure, though I do serve on one of the NATE technical committees. Just recently took and passed the RSES CM exam for amusement which probably grandfathers me. I presumably passed the refrigeration CMS exam (awaiting results).
4. does someone think my Roswell comment amusing?

[Reak]

Is it fair to say that the people who have taken the test support it and approve it and the people who have not taken the test do not like it?

Thanks
REAK

You have worked for Bob way TOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONGGGGG!!

[Roscoe]

#1 no

#2 yes [ for contractors, manufactures and the people who run Nate]

I'm Nate Certified and have my
C.M from RSES

RSES has had the C.M.[Certificate Member]
CMS [Certificate Member Specialist]
and NTC [ National Tech Cert] for years, personally I think they carry more weight.
