NAUI Qualifies Course Directors & Instructor Trainers in Thailand
NAUI Workshop Director/NAUI Representative-designate Wong Kok Yew successfully conducted an IT/CD Workshop in Aonang, Thailand, on October 30, 2005.
Five long-standing members of NAUI qualified as Instructor Trainers and Course Directors. Of these, three were recipients of the NAUI Tsunami Relief Effort, as their businesses were severely and directly affected by the tsunami, and they were grateful for NAUI members’ assistance in helping them re-build their businesses and, by upgrading their qualifications, hope to train others into leadership levels.
This bode well for NAUI as a training agency in Southern Thailand, a region still reeling from the effects of the Boxing Day 2004 catastrophe, as it came on the back of NAUI course material being translated into the Thai language.
