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...

You are absolutely right! I was fortunate & I also realize most are not.
However for me the Incredible value of PTG has been inestimable in my on going
education. I learned very solid basic skills from my Dad but the traing was
quite incomplete in many areas. ie grand regulation rebuilding skill.
As technolgy & information evelove it was ptg that developed deciminated
it I & you & any one with a desire have been the benificiarys.
I often say Most of what I no came thru this organization & networking
with members.
To paraphrase your last statement...... you can lead a horse to
water.........
Its up to the indidivual. RpT status or not I would have still availed
myself to this process of info. The tuning test was an incredible bench mark moment
for me though in 1980. I was nervous but passed with high marks & the bench
marking aspect was a good thing.
