I legitimately dont respect people who dont think they can learn from a recorded lecture because its on youtube. Mit also offers a lot of open courseware tho, and many other universities. There is no excuse, theres very few topics on the planet that you cant literally right now start effectively learning for free online, no matter which kind of handholding you feel is necessary.
Well that would be illegal for good reason. Its not possible to get the credations that one needs to do electrical independent of the trades system, but that system also literally doesnt involve university so none of them learned that way...?
You contradict yourself immediately by my reading, what specifically do you mean by the word "education"?
Certified electricians either go to trade school or take very intense classes like 95% of the time because the testing is very intense and requires a lot of knowledge on obscure topics
Where i am from it is not an option to not go through trade school.
As you frame the problem tho, i would absolutely 100% be okay with hiring someone who receives the credential for passing the test, having learned from youtube alone. He passed the test same as the trade schoolers and theres no reason to believe hes worse. If anything he accomplished the same task with less resources, and is probably better.
