WARNING!!
You guys are sliding into a pit of name calling and discussion on a topic (the merits of USA v. UK training) under a thread title that has NOTHING to do with it.
Considering PTC don't DO any training or testing in the UK it all seems a bit moot.
Name calling is not allowed on ANY forum or thread. Now cut it out and grow up.
If you can't have a professional conversation then stay off the thread - or, even better, stay off the forum.
