<DIV>Good point, Conrad. I don't think it is the accreditation problem =
as
much as it is forcing someone to join the PTG in order to graduate. In order=
to
take the RPT exams, the tuner must belong to the PTG. Therefore, a students
would be required to join an organization in order to graduate. That is prob=
ably
against some law, somewhere. </DIV>
