Leif Ollivierre MICS attended on behalf of the Institute togerther with YK Chan FICS (Life) from Hong Kong as the Institute's Ambassador and Capt. Norman Lopez FICS, from the Australia/New Zealand Branch joined as a member of Education and Training Committee.

The guests asked many questions about the Institute and the programmes available and left the event interested in the Institute's Professional Qualifications.

 

Humber Branch

Open day Humber

Humber Branch Open Day held at Ahlmark Shipping in Hull.

Danny Carmichael FICS from Ahlmark Shipping, Nick Allen FICS from Rix Shipping, Paul Holland from New Holland Dock and Mike Johnston MICS from RMS Ports came along to open the doors of the Humber Branch to students to prospective students.

A few new young faces turned up and those attending the event felt encouraged about starting their studies with the Institute after meeting with fellows and members of the branch, who as ever offered their support preparing for the exams.

 

North East of England Branch

NEE Open Day

The North East of England Branch had a very successful Open Evening.

It was the first of many open evenings held to launch the branch's new North East School of Shipping (NESS) based at Stockton Riverside College (SRC). The turnout was excellent, with students (new and existing) from businesses who usually support the Institute: they came along with their managers to meet the new school team and see the college facilities. Students from businesses who had not been involved with the Institute before also joined in this time. Surprisingly one of the guests was a lady who spent 20 years working in shipping in Venezuela: she is looking at an Institute qualification as the passport for a job in the UK!

All of the 8 students in attendance signed up to start the courses starting soon at our new North East School of Shipping.

All students expressed their interest to join the programme. Looking forward to converting their interest in registrations for this academic year!
