[Barrie Heaton]

As someone over here peering at you over their, generally just
mainly lurking on this list, I have a few questions to
put accross to you.

       1. is there a College course in America for
       piano tuning and repairs. if so to what level
       does the course take  you too.

        2.Does the PTG recognize such courses as an
        entrance to their organization. If not why not.

        3. What is entailed in the PTG's exam, what is
        the pass mark and does the exam have a written
        paper.

In the UK most tuners are trained at College they are
generally two to three year courses.  The two piano
tuning fraternities in the UK have different entrance
 criteria.

The ABPT requires that you have a diploma in piano
tuning and repairs.

The PTA requires you to take a test you must have been
a practicing tuner for five years including your
training before you can take the test.

Thank you for the info.
