Dear Colleagues
Now that the pressure of the start of term has hopefully abated, a
reminder of the CTS Bursary Scheme opportunity.
A request from your Institution to participate in the Bursary Scheme
should be emailed to [log in to unmask] by the closing date of Friday
the 14th November 2014 copied to myself.
Full details below.
Best Wishes
Jim Sheach

> In support of the SCHOMS strategy to further professionalise our

> InfoComm Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) Bursary Scheme to
> enable staff to undertake the CTS examination.

> The executive have agreed to fund twenty bursaries to cover the CTS
> examination fee, currently £247.20. SCHOMS will purchase the CTS
> Exam places direct with InfoComm to avoid recharging and VAT issues.
>
> A programme of on-line training courses to prepare staff for the CTS
> exam is already available free of charge as part of the
> SCHOMS/InfoComm membership scheme. Further information on CTS is
> available at:
> http://www.infocomm.org/cps/rde/xchg/infocomm/hs.xsl/21952.htm
>
> Any additional costs, for example travel costs to attend an exam
> centre will be the responsibility of the Institution.
>
> Staff taking up the bursary must study the necessary courses, sit
> the exam and complete a SCHOMS evaluation form by the 30th April
> 2015. This feedback will assist the executive in the overall
> evaluation of the SCHOMS/InfoComm membership scheme in summer 2015.

> Bursaries are limited to one per institution, a request from your
> Institution to participate should be emailed to [log in to unmask] by

> This is an exciting opportunity for you to pilot CTS certification
> within your staff and to consider how such professional
> certification can improve the standing of your staff within the
> institution.
