I wonder what degree your mate did.  I don't think they do degrees in verbal diarrhea

If you are referring to who I think you are I think it was either a B.Com or a Dip. Ag. Val.

Interesting topic.     Keeping away from Nairn and the original thrust of her allegations,  I'm appalled at the apparent ease that so many seem to find in referring to themselves as 'expert '  in whatever and then proceeding to fleece the gullible. 

I've had a staff member ( with her own horses ) frank her stupidity by spending thousands with unqualified and barely competent practitioners getting a young horse broken in, having riding lessons, etc, etc, with predictable results.  

With a bit of advice and common sense the 'unbroken' horse came to hand quickly and kindly, her riding also improved from abysmal to  fair on a tractable horse, even to the point where she managed to ride slow trackwork for a local trainer. 

The point being that these unqualified practitioners are able to make money with considerable risk inherent for many who get sucked in.

I wonder how much of that is due to the so called experts claiming to be more expert than they really are, and how much is that their prospective customers have become less informed and less discerning?

Equi-ed has acquired Government funding as do their students in some form or other.  Given the apparent lack of quality and valid qualifications of some of their tutors then one must conclude that either education standards have slipped and/or there is a rort.
 

They have also gained support for their courses from a number of credible organisations, e.g.,

Obviously, to both.
