I have no bias against ETPS graduates - what I have is a bias against a view, held in some quarters, that to be considered worthy of the "TP" title you need to have been a graduate of one of the 3 military schools. That is my objection - not to the school itself where I got a very good education thanks, in fact if you're who I think you are, you were one of my tutors there - and my thanks, I still use what you taught me almost every day.

There are even organisations with a known tendency to only employ TPs who are graduates of a particular TPS - I don't feel this is healthy; there are several routes to competence and the door should remain open to the alternatives.
