---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Good points, Dale. Many of us were not as fortunate as you in that you were trained by highly skilled and trusted techs. For those of us (like myself) who attended, shall we say, somewhat less-than-spectacular training schools (the one I attended is no longer around), the RPT exams do indeed serve as ENTRY LEVEL requirements. Let's hear it for continuing education! The PTG can help promote and further better technical work, but it is the technician who must take advantage of the offerings...
