If you look at other trades with apprecenticeships

Posted By: who does the final certification? on 2006-02-03
In Reply to: AAMT - guest

Not a national organization like AAMT. The certification comes from a labor organization with oversight from local, state or federal organizations. Is AAMT trying to posture itself to share some of its membership dues? Doesn't sound like AAMT's style.

So what is AAMT's proposal on the final certification process? If they want federal money to give the MTSOs as a subsidy, don't you think someone in government is going to want government involvement in the certification approval process? Would AAMT support that?

Serious questions for a serious topic.
