I'm one of those good(that's the question, here), old(soitenly) boy (in 
mind, only) who's been great-grandfathered from pre-standardized tuning 
test days, through RTT to RPT, who for a long time has had the luxury of 
being the big fish in a very small pond, but still thinks he can compete 
with the big boys.

Question back at you: by whom and when would this (re)-certification be 
done?  Whenever the idea of periodic renewing of status has been 
discussed, the major stumbling block has been a personnel issue. Too 
many examinees, too few examiners.

If you get hired you get a chance to edjimakate the edjimakaters...


How would one be tested for the "other" things CAUTerized folks do? 
Harpsichord, organ, other...
