Should those seeking Fast Track routes into the trade be belittled ?

I seems that resentment, ego and selfishness are at play on some construction trade related forums when ever the question of fast track courses pops up. Again on "some" forums, i get a sense of..

"I had to do such and such, so i don't even care if the fast track course was any good anyway. Or even if it's the only option some folk have because i had to go through this certain method, so therefore everybody else should have to, I don't care if my comments put folks off wanting to do well for themselves, even if fast track is their only option, because my own ego and selfishness is more important than their life"

Of course no one would ever admit that the reason they say such and such comment is because they are stroking their ego and are selfish, they will just say that it simply has to do with their concern as to the quality of workmanship that folks have after completing fast track courses. And I'm sure this is true for some, but even for those whos opinion is based solely on the quality of the workmanship of a "fast-tracker" they should still be considerate of the fact that other folks are entitled to become tradesmen just as much as they are, only they don't have the same available options you have/had in order to get there. But certain other users who post on construction forums (i'm not just picking on this forum but any tradesman related forum) I feel, post comments simply with an intent to be negative in a way that mirrors what i explained above with regards to "Resentment" "Ego" "Selfishness"

It's ok as far as I'm concerned because
A) gives the competent sparks more work as someone has to put it right
B) makes the competent sparks look really good and therefore increase reputation = more work, and
C) people learn that you won't get a safe and reliable installation at a cheap price! ;)

It's not alright, even if it does give competent sparks more remedial work.

Point C...people don't realise at all, that's why were seeing more and more bodged jobs put on here. The fast track route is a complete joke.
