Sadly, many of the very people who rant & rave about inferior schools condemn AHDI for its credentialing program and its school approval program. (I'm not saying you're one of these, but anti-AHDI posts are often virulent on MT forums.) Had MTs embraced credentialing in the beginning, schools would not have been able to lure in naive wannabes if graduates could not pass the exam. And the ACCP approval program, while not perfect, at least sets standards. (And you have to start somewhere.) Unfortunately, progress has been slow to get schools approved, and the negative slams in the forums have diminished the value of ACCP approval. The new RMT credential and ACCP approval should be enough to push inferior schools out of business, but it won't happen because of lack of industry support for all things AHDI.
