The Testing & Certification Manpower Development Award Scheme is open for applications today until July 31. Testing and certification bodies and practitioners are welcome to apply.

Organised by the Hong Kong Council for Testing & Certification (HKCTC) and funded by the Innovation & Technology Commission, the award scheme aims to encourage the testing and certification bodies to invest in talent training and development.

It also commends those testing and certification practitioners who have striven for continuous learning and professional development, and contributed to service quality improvement.

The award scheme consists of two categories of awards. For the Testing & Certification Manpower Development Corporate Award, there will be a Platinum Award and a Gold Award.

For the Excellent Testing & Certification Professional Award, there will be two tiers - Senior Professional and Junior Professional.

Two independent assessment panels, comprising members of the HKCTC and stakeholders, will be formed for the two categories of awards.

Results will be announced in the fourth quarter. All awardees will be invited to the award presentation ceremony and presented with a trophy together with an award certificate.

The corporate awardees will also be permitted to display the logo for the Platinum Award or the Gold Award as appropriate on their websites and publicity materials.
