[QUOTE="Al., post: 4158, member: 382"] Don I was in business in Fl from 78 till 4 yrs ago. I moved and opened up a lab in Kentucky. Ky requires all state labs to have at least 1 CDT. So I tested, and now am a CDT in ceramics. There are zero bennifets to being a CDT except personal pride. I understand you may be trying to improve the professional image of lab techs and weed out what you may consider lesser skilled techs., but it only puts potential unnessecary regulations on us and it is very expensive to maintain my CDT status. I prefer to let the Dr's decide on the quality of work they want and let the free market weed out the bad techs. It is already difficult to find good help and unless you own our own lab the pay is not good. Putting extra requirements like CDT testing is not going to help in reqruiting new talent. If CDT testing was made mandatory for all techs in the US, off shore outsoursing would increase. [/QUOTE]
