Though I am eminently qualified and experienced to hold high grades of membership in all the Motor Industry Associations / Institutions that I am aware of, I choose not to subscribe to any of these as I am vehemently opposed to their general practise of permitting their non-technically qualified members / associates to use their organisations’ “Corporate, post-nominal letters”, giving the impression that those persons are actually technically qualified, which often is not the case. While the use of these, post-nominal, letters is based on the users paying their subscriptions, rather than being based on any relevant and credible qualifications, I will maintain this position.
