In addition, I am pretty sure that, at least in NY, there is no requirement for a service person to be educated. Shops need to be regestered with the state, but it is, basically, just a formality put in place as a method to prevent fraud. If you rip off people the state might (probably not) take the shops licence.
This type of regulation may be good for computer repair, but not individuals. For instance, I am not A+ certified. I do not do support or service, but, through school and work experience, etc. I am more qualified to fix a computer than most A+ technicians. I don't want to get arrested for fixing someones computer without a licence when I fix a friend's office computer.
We have enough regulations. Do we really need to make computer repair a bueracracy too?
