"I'm all for training and certification, but when people point to "mandatory minimum" training or "mandatory minimum" certification in lieu of experience or hands-on training to determine sufficiency or proficiency or ability, it scares the living daylights out some of us - as it should you, as a professional. "

I believe if you read my posts in this thread and others you will find that I am among the most vocal of critics of the current yacht licensing system for just that reason. I am also a very strong supporter of formal training, for reasons that have been embarrassingly illustrated.
