recently decided to enroll in the Randy Potter course based on quite a =
few
recommendations that I found in the archives of this list. Just do =
a
search under "correspondence courses," and you'll get a wide variety of
commentaries. In general people seemed to think it was a very good =
course
and the best available in the U.S., but recommended studying under an
experienced tuner at some point too, plus I remember there were some =
other
specific suggestions and comments, so see for =
yourself.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi everyone..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to get some reaction from you regarding the =
correspondence
courses available.. eg: Randy Potter and the American School of Tuning =
etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are no "hands on" courses available in Australia anymore =
except
occasional apprenticeships.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone successfully passed one of these correspondence =
courses and
would you recommend them?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
