Dave,

If you mean must the CTEs physically re-take the tuning exam and pass it =
at 90% or above every 5 years, my understanding is No, that is not a =
requirement; nor would I want them to have to do so. However, they must =
be recertified every 5 years via a written exam to ensure that they are =
up-to-date on the tuning exam process.

Our CTEs as well as all the RPTs who give our exams are generally well =
qualified and up-to-date on the our exams. Every exam I've participated =
in, all the examiners gave "above and beyond" to help the examinees =
understand what they were doing correctly and where they needed to =
improve. As I said before, it's a great learning experience for all =
involved.

  My understanding as well,=20
  is that CTE's must re-exam each 5 years=20
  to keep the examiners status.=20
  So they could never be much out of date=20
  on the evaluation end.=20
  Perhaps someone could confirm that I am correct about this.=20

     I wish to extend my sincere thanks to those of you who responded to =
my query about grandfathering.  I reread my original post again, and it =
could have been taken in a sarcastic manor.  Thank you all for taking it =
in the way it was intended, in sincerity. A number of people e-mailed me =
privately as well as posting on the list.  Just to give you an idea of =
the general tone, there were some who saw no problems, and some who saw =
severe problems.  Fortunately, the general feeling was that the most =
severe of the problems were more than a just a year or two ago, and that =
overall, the testing materials and procedures have improved to the point =
of being quite good, unbiased, and fair. I appreciated the good well =
mannered responses, and I thank you for your input.  You really have set =
my mind more at ease about this. Hope you all are having a nice weekend. =
Sincerely, Brian TroutQuarryville, Pa.btrout@desupernet.net =20
