Figure 16 shows the preferred authority for examinations of alternatives. A number of 33.3 % would prefer
the examination through a representative of the law. Split up into groups: 69.2 % of TP and 20.0 % of AP
ticked the governmental authority. A total of 45.8 % answered that they would prefer the examination
through the education institute. 7.7 % of TP and 60.0 % of AP ticked this option. A number of 12.5 %
preferred just the alignment of standards with the content of the educations (7.7 % TP, 14.3 % AP) and 6.3%
prefer another authority (15.4% TP, 2.9 % AP). A significant difference could be analysed between the target
groups in terms of the preferred authority for examination (Chi-square = 15.632, df = 4, p = 0.004, n = 48).
A total of 94.2 % think an
examination should be practical
and theoretical (n = 50). 80.8 %
would introduce a compulsory
exam (n = 45). There is no
significant difference between the
TP and AP (Chi-square, p > 0.05).

the assessment every three years
and 17.3 % every year. The Mann-
Whitney test detected that there is no significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05, n = 48).
Most of the participants are in favour of a further education duty every one or two years (69.2 %). There is
no significant difference between the TP and the AP (Mann-Whitney, p > 0.05, n = 39).

Figure 17: practitioners' view into future
A number of 35.7 % of the TP answered to have a negative or very negative view into the future. 57.1 %
ticked neutral and 7.1 % positive. On the other hand the AP have to 3.1 % a negative view. 46.9 % answered
neutral and 50 % positive. The future is seen more positive by the AP (mean score 27.56) than by the TP
(mean score 14.21). The median for TP is 3, means neutral, for AP 3.5, means positive. The differences, as
shown in figure 17, are significant between the groups (Mann-Whitney, p = 0.001, n = 46).
