I never had a biology course after high school, but I also advise that you don't perform surgery on your family members without the appropriate medical certifications.

Sorry I was not questioning your credentials, although it does read like that. From your posts, you seem well informed about what you write about. I meant to how does some one get certified in pneumatics in general.
Generally speaking techs work from a set of rules where engineers are able to work from first principles. In the real world this can get very blurry. I know techs & mechanics that know for more about their specific subject than the engineers that are supervising them. The world needs both kinds & hopefully that is what we are developing.
