Less? I agree with the idea of re-certifying, and don't think it has to take 5 hours. A "shortened" exam wouldn't be difficult. Those who didn't pass could have the option of taking the full blown test.=20 =20 Jim Busby =20 -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jon Page Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 5:25 AM To: caut-ptg.org Subject: Categories - Paying examiners/Assoc. declassification =20 caut: ><snip>$300 for credentials (if they really are credentials) is not that high. <snip> but if this is your profession it's not that much.=20 Dave p-tech> >Rgulation is not one of my strong areas. Regards, , RPT =20 It damn well better be if one sports the 'qualification' of "technician"! =20 For it to be a true professional qualification one would need periodic re-examination to prove tuning/technical ability. Electricians and plumbers have to re-license. Granted there are not the same safety issues but still qualifying one's ability to tune and regulate is important for credibility. =20 It seems by many statements I heard that the bar for RPT is too low. =20 If retested, how many RPT's would not requalify or even want to pay to have this bonified certification. =20 Jon Page ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
