That’s fairly ridiculous. Would you train and certify an electrician, a plumber, a nurse, a mechanic or a carpenter without making sure they can demonstrate their knowledge in the field?  
Garbage in = garbage out, right? The wild variations in ratings that were shown in the California study echos the same problem in Canada.  
As CEO of an online training organization, and someone who has been in the field for 25 years, I see great value in using online education to bring everyone up to speed on terminology, get familiar with concepts, procedures and equipment. I would **never** suggest that it takes the place of face-to-face training for diagnostic work, on-site mentoring or field testing.
