[CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?

[Jim Busby]

Hi Les,

 

This is why I always mention a "time period" and/or experience needed
before one can even test for RPT. For example, before one can become a
journeyman concrete finisher "3 years experience" must be verified,
along with other tests and criteria. I'm always brushed aside when I
make such statements. Seems like I could take most anyone with fairly
good mental/tactile skills and get them to pass the test at 80% in a few
weeks or months, if that is we focused on. Even though such a time line
and or verification of experience would in no way guarantee skill it
seems SOME time/experience should be expected.

 

Regards,

Jim Busby BYU

Oh Wim...............  I passed all my RPT exams without reading any of
the preparation material, and passed them rather handily.  Would you
trust me to work on your piano?   I said years ago that one could pass
the exams and really not know anything about how to work on a real
piano. I am even more convinced today that such is true.   We all have
unique ways of learning.  Some become quite proficient, even though they
may not jump through all the hoops "correctly".

You can also check out a book on how to tune your own piano, or do open
heart surgery.

And some people learn well that way and become quite proficient.  Others
don't.

In that case, remind me not to have you operate on my heart. :)
