spec'd designs all day long and doesn't understand any of the concepts
behind them. If you gave him a panel and a long distance card with "two
hours" of prepaid time to Sara's Soda, he'd only wind up more confused than
ever. In the end, all they look for is an official looking certificate.

Yes, but she needs to understand it well enough to answer the questions on the
insurance certification exam. The study material, as I said, *starts off* with
a high-low balanced circuit with C-form relay wiring, but with no electronics
background, none of that makes any sense to her.
Whether she retains any of it after the exam is another matter.
