The hub also creates eye-catching marketing materials with additional digital solutions. It can also give members access to e-learning and exam portal and members/public access to certification courses and resources.

‘‘We want them to have the skills, the three skills in professionalism: discipline, competence and integrity, the ultimate is test. With integrity, you can build and not destroy.
