I have asked multiple people this question and always gotten a different answer-- here goes.
I took a Basic class at NEU that ended at the end of May. I am slated to take the Massachusetts practical test next week, and the written two weeks after that. Assuming all goes well, I wont be certified any earlier then the first of August.
My understand was that once I got my MA card, if, within a short period of time, I then applied to the NR, all I would need to take is the written test- that it is easier to get an NR card shortly after finishing a class or getting a state card. Is that correct?
What would change if I applied to take the NR BEFORE finishing my state test? Would I then need to take a national practical test?
Is there any advantage to finishing my MA cert before the national? The opposite?
One last question: At what point should I ask the program director @ NEU to attest to me taking the class? How long should that take?
In theory, this is all simple, but I have been fed so much mis-information this has become complicated. Thank you for helping me...
Thx
