August clearing and counselling mission 20-24 August 1992

This year's was the largest clearing mission to be held in Malaysia so far, with 74 participants in Kuala Lumpur and 60 in Penang. Attendances were higher than ever in Kuala Lumpur, particularly on the opening day. The response from exhibitors was extremely favourable with the exception of some FE colleges who were disappointed by the level of interest shown in A level and BTEC courses in Britain. A panel of four exhibitors gave a pre- departure briefing to an audience of over 500 students who will be commencing courses in the UK this year.

Hotel, catering and tourism mission December 2 - 12 1992

Fourteen applications were received for this mission, and although this means a larger

group than originally intended, ECS Malaysia will be able to accomodate them. The mission aims to investigate the present state of the hotel, catering and tourism industries in Malaysia and the current provision of training, as well as promoting British expertise and training in these areas. This training could take the form of short courses in Malaysia, external programmes, specialist seminars and consultancies as well as courses in Britain.
