24 22 26 38 38 **

ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTION IN BRITAIN, THE INSTITUTE OF BUILDING, HAS RECOGNISED DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES AWARDED BY THE MORRISON HILL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

OTHER INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE PREVISOULY GIVEN RECOGNITION TO COURSES INCLUDE THE INSTITUTION OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN ENGINEERS, THE SOCIETY OF ELECTRONIC AND RADIO TECHNICIANS AND THE CITY AND GUILDS OF LONDON INSTITUTE.

THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION (TECHNICAL), MR. DANIEL WATERS SAID THE REPUTATION AND STATUS OF THE MORRISON HILL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE HAS BEEN FURTHER ENHANCED BY THESE RECOGNITIONS.

+UNDOUBTEDLY, THESE RECOGNITIONS WILL IMPROVE THE STANDING AND EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS OF THE GRADUATES OF THE INSTITUTE.

+I HOPE THAT SIMILAR RECOGNITIONS WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE NEW TECHNICAL INSTITUTES IN THE FUTURE.+

THE LATEST RECOGNITIONS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF BUILDING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ARE THE TECHNICIAN DIPLOMA IN CONSTRUCTION AND THE HIGHER CERTIFICATE IN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AWARDED BY THE MORRISON HILL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.

HOLDERS OF EITHER THE DIPLOMA OR HIGHER CERTIFICATE ARE QUALIFIED FOR TECHNICIAN MEMBERSHIP OF THE INSTITUTE OF BUILDING, A PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTION WITH SOME 23,000 MEMBERS.

THE HOLDERS OF THESE QUALIFICATIONS WILL BE EXEMPT FROM GROUP ONE SUBJECTS OF THE LICENTIATE EXAMINATION, THIS MEANS THAT THEY NEED TO PASS ONLY THREE SUBJECTS TO COMPLETE THIS EXAMINATION.

THE INSTITUTE OF BUILDING WAS FORMED IN 1834. LIKE OTHER SIMILAR PROFESSIONAL DODIES ITS PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO MAINTAIN A SATISFACTORY HIGH STANDARD OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR THOSE PRACTISING THE PROFESSION WHICH IT REPRESENTS. IT DOES THIS BY PROVIDING A LINK BETWEEN THOSE CONCERNED WITH RESEARCH AND THE PRACTISING MEMDER.

THE INSTITUTE WORKS CLOSELY WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF PREFESSIONAL INSTITUTIONS, TRADE AND RESEARCH ASSOCIATIONS, GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER ORGANISATIONS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND OVERSEAS INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
