Annual Report 2010 has already been placed at the ICAP website.

An extract from the Council’s report (integral part of annual report) is as follows

“The Education and Training Committee initiated the process of revisiting the education and training scheme of the Institute. The following areas were specifically considered by the Committee

Curriculum and syllabus.
Entry requirements.
Standard of PPT.
Role of RAETs.
Exemptions and equivalencies.
Industrial training.
Duration of training period.

In addition to seeking input from the members of the Committee who have diverse experience in education, practice, industry, business and the public sectors, the Committee also sought input from other stakeholders of the Institute who have been through the system and can appreciate its strengths and weaknesses. Such input was obtained through

web based online survey of members; and
focused group sessions with students, RAETs and MRTs.

The Committee has recently formalised its recommendations for the consideration and approval of the Council.”

I think Council meeting will be after AGM.
