4 Our people ETI prides itself on the quality of its administrative and academic staffs. While academic credentials and ability are important, we recruit staffs primarily for their passion, professionalism and team spirit. Our administrative staff is responsible for the behind-the-scenes running of courses. Since part of our ethos is to challenge delegates to push the boundaries of their own capabilities, training can be a stressful process, especially when assignments and exams come around. Their job is to ensure that our delegates experience the best possible experience while they are on our training courses, and they need to be strict but fair and caring when doing this. They all subscribe to ETI's Code of Ethics and Value System. We have employees to handle Quality Assurance Facilitation and Training Assessment and Moderations Marketing and client liaison Office Management Course administration /Feedback Finance and Accounting Human resources Our academic staffs are very special people indeed. Since our courses are much more than a series of lectures, and are very practical in nature, our academic staff need to be able to walk-the-walk, as well as talk-the-talk. They are not only great facilitators and teachers, but they are able to coach, advice and mentor learners as they complete their practical work. Since a key objective of our training approach is to develop learners who have the selfconfidence and knowledge to apply their skills when they leave us, they have been carefully coached to 'facilitate learning' rather than teach. Our more experienced academic employees fill a number of roles, including Course Manager Lecturer or facilitator Assessor, examiner or moderator

5 Our people Cont All academic employees needs to undergo a thorough accreditation process, and our ongoing quality monitoring systems ensure that they are continually improving the quality and consistency of our educational programs The consulting staffs in our Professional Services Division are experienced practitioners, drawn from our academic staffs, and practitioners from industry.
