@667 In the US licensure is independent of clubs.
There _is_ gatekeeping going on. It seems to stem from OMs who want to control how folks get into hobby.
Although they won’t turn away a warm body toting a license…
Edit: added tag line
@667 @HakFoo Unfortunately our club is fixated on scheduled instructor led classes (death by powerpoint for the most part) and in-person administration of electronic tests.
They deliberately conceal the fact that self-study and on-demand remote testing are options when people inquire about getting licensed.

@AbidingOhmsLaw @OneCardboardBox Where can I find info about the 100W board ?
@667 I’m already licensed … went “from zero to hero” on my own over a span of about 4 months back in 2010.
It’s just so frustrating seeing the obstacles which are constantly thrown in the way of people who want to become licensed (or upgraded).
