Re: Upcoming exam question (Texas)

Kahlil-

Here's a cut and paste from the PTCB regarding eligibility

requirements for the exam.

Eligibility Requirements

You must have received a high school diploma, a GED, or the foreign

equivalent by the application receipt deadline and have never been

convicted of a felony to sit for the PTCB Examination.

Here's the link to the site: http://ptcb.org

Texas may have additional requirements---but that would be up to the

Texas BOP to implement/enforce,not the PTCB

Dear Kahlil,

I agree with Dora, there is no requirement to have graduated from a

Voc school/tech program in order to take the PTCB exam. However it

is possible that a state may make that a law. I have heard nothing

regarding Texas and this. However it could be being 'talked' about.

I do not believe that it will happen however. But that is only

speculation and opinion on my part.

That would be new news to me. Texas is actually enacting the 'Technician

Registration' part of the law that was in place several years ago.

But I don't know anything about requiring one to go through/successfully

complete a vocational training in order to take the PTCB.

Here's a reference FAQ:

Upcoming exam question (Texas)

I have a question, I have heard from some people, in order to take the exam

after the March 2004 exam. You would have to have graduated from a school

(ie Vocational School) in order to take the exam. I was just wondering about

the validity of this.
