Some will tell you it's when they finish the lessons.

Some say they need to do something of a personal trial.

Like all offices…

It's when you feel they have incorporated the ideals into themselves.

It is, in my mind, what Training Masters are for…

Monitoring the Apprentice…

Guiding them up.

In the end, it is an X factor.

I use these criteria:

1: Do I trust them?

2: Have they shown competence in our ways?

3: Do they want to keep learning, or do they just want the title?

4: Do they have the ability to teach it to others?

5: Do they stand up to me?
