Duncan McClure, our Achievement Scheme Controller, has been involved with the scheme since the early 1980’s. In this presentation, he talks us through the basic philosophy of the scheme and highlights some of the key developments in recent years, and hopefully dispels some ‘urban myths’ along the way. To follow this, he also reveals his ‘top tips’ for members preparing to take any of the tests, and concludes with a brief description of the roles of the instructor and examiner.
