There's a lot of people cashing in on this sort of thing
3 years back I was put thru an expensive course by Tyco for a licsense for handling/disposing of Halon gas ,which was used for specialist fire protection in computer rooms & general electronics situations where water is a no no
Halon gas was outlawed at least 20 years ago because of ozone depletion & I haven't seen any for about the same time(except on naval vessels where they seem to be exempt from using it)
during the course myself & most others couldn't help remarking on what a crock of s**t it all was. The general feeling was that these two guys running the course were justifying their jobs
They basicly talked in circles then made every one do a test, which all passed, (whether they were sleeping during the course or not!)
this all cost Tyco a day in lost pay and about $1200 per person
I don't work for Tyco any more, but I'm still expected to pay $130 a year to maintain this licsense I'm never going to use ,they've sent me about 9 final reminders to renew it & it almost sounds like they're begging me to, so they get their money, Another big rort!
Cheers
Bryan
