The shop has all that stuff framed and hanging on the wall. My LDS is a family run business and the son does all the service work. Their service area is open to view from the retail area. You can watch him work on your gear and he has no problem with questions during serivce. I was signed up for a maintenance class last fall but we had to cancel. Work got in the way;-0 . Man I hate it when that happens.
 
I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. The problem is the qualification process is a joke. Getting in the classes is the hard part if you don't own or work in a shop. Most shops have the certs hanging on the wall. We are a small shop and ran out of wall space. We have boxes full of the junk if someone wants to see more than what's on the wall (that is if I could find it).
