NY Recert/Reciprocity

[hookandcanman83 11]

I applied for reciprocity from NJ to NY. I was denied because they said I havent taken a state test in the last 3 years. I just did my recert at the end of 2008 but here in the good ole state of NJ we dont take a state test to recert. So with my letter from NY I was told I have to take a recert class in NY and I can get a NY card through reciprocity. I am a little confused and I am hoping someone can help me because I am clueless.

Where can I take these classes?

How long are they?

Who would I talk to to get enrolled?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That should give you all the information you need.

The way the refreshers work in New York is you take a pretest and then attend lectures for any section that you failed in addition to a bunch of required lectures. Then you take the state practical and written exam at the end. If you do well on the pre-test you only have to go to a handful of classes.
