> Grin... I used to think like that... but then I got it into my head it might be fun and informative to take the test.. to just go through the process and see if I could learn something. Boy what a good move that was.. That was the Nowegian exams.. this summer I will take the tuning exam in Arlington for the same reason. Course I would love to do well...grin... even pass.. but more then anything I know becoming an RPT has absolutely nothing to do with anything but my own desire to improve my self as a piano tech. As soon as I succeed, I will start looking into the German tests. All the rest of the reasons for and against taking the tests are in the end... evasive actions... grin.. > > > Patricia: I was being totally facetious about the intern thing.
