I had a years training a Western Iowa Tech, which I believe is now defunct. I then worked with a technician in SF for a number of years. I think following a good course like R. Potters, working with an experienced technician in the shop and field and involvement in the PTG has the potential to produce a good piano technician. No matter how you go about it, it will take at least 5 years experience to get there.
