There are no other professions exactly like ours and no credential exactly
like the RPT credential.  The closest I can think of is accounting where you
can work as you choose or decide you want the CPA credential.  I've known
people who were CPAs and those who weren't.  Some who weren't didn't see
enough benefit to becoming a CPA.  Some who weren't failed the exam.  Some
who weren't were afraid they would fail the exam.  This is where I think the
parallel is most like us.  

 

The qualifications, the advantages etc. have not changed in the PTG for a
long time.  This "it's unfair" thing is not new.  Either pass the tests or
don't.  Your choice.  

 

The RPTs I know don't think they're better than others, they've just
demonstrated a certain level of competence that other's haven't.  The
associate may indeed have that competence, they just haven't shown it.
That's all!

 

Can't we get past this
I'm-as-good-as-you-I-just-don't-want-to-take-the-tests thing!  It's just
silly!

 

Take the tests.  Don't take the tests.  Your choice - then be comfortable
with your choice.

Thanks for the update Bruce.  Since you brought this to the list...

 

I wonder if the copy was run by any a consultant.

 

"Only a "RPT has passed the exams required by the PTG that assure you of the
highest standard of quality and expertise to protect your investment and
keep your piano playing its best."

 

"Required" - Really?  

"Assure you" -  Are the PTG and local chapters now liable for the quality of
work of any RPT?  Are you really saying

that out of all of the technicians that are not members, and all of the
technicians that choose to be associates, the only

way to be assured of "highest standard of quality and expertise" is to hire
an RPT?

 

Hmmm....
