I wholeheartedly agree.  I'm finishing up with the Potter course but my
long-term goal is PTG membership.  I'm already attending - and participating
in - local chapter meetings and will soon have enough money to become an
Associate member.  The Potter course is my primary vehicle to get an overall
grasp of our craft, but meeting and interacting with other RPTs at my local
chapter and regional convention has been where I really learn.  RPT
certification is - to my way of thinking - the best certification to have.

I t would be nice if we (i.e. the PTG) could deal with this kind of thing
better. I strongly feel it creates consumer confusion. A lot of tuners
advertise with "Certified" just because they graduated with a certificate,
whether from an accredited school or not. Anecdotally I have noticed that
these tuners are usully not members of PTG. I have even seen it posted like
a "diploma". We need to make sure our brand is strong and clear to the
public.
