Just another angle on this discussion, and not to change the subject: have we considered setting up an office to handle some of the work of registering? It does sound to me like at least some of the work involved does not necessarily need to be done by a measurer or measurement-savvy person. Is there enough work to keep one person busy x number of days per week or perhaps full time? Would this mean we would need to increase the course registration fee so much that we would discourage course certification?
I don't think Gene is complaining but I do wonder if we would need to consider something like this if the numbers keep growing.
