What is the best way to become a Piano Technician?

[Richard Brekne]

Get ahold of your local RPT at the University of Montana at Missoula.  
He will be able to help you get started off.  Your confusion is not 
unusual and he will be able to help clear some of the particulars of 
obtaining RPT status. That should be your minimum goal for 
accomplishment,  at least in as much as achieving that level of expertise.

Cheers
