Until then....? Of course there are many Associates that do very credible work. However, most RPTs have no way of knowing that, until the tests are passed. Just my Opinion. Such is the reason there are so many Associates. They can still make a good living w/o ever taking the tests. Shows a lack of pride IMO. I hope the "Pirate" is reading.<G> Flack suit zipped tightly.
