nETAILS of a new residential train
ing course for those wishing to make the motor industry their career were given last week by Mr. Stanley S. Dawes in his presidential address to the Institute of the Motor Industry.
He said that it was now possible to take advantage of the facilities provided by the Loughborough College of Technology. The course would cover management, accounting and costing. sales and office administration and law. The entrance of students, at a minimum age of 18, would be based on the General Schools Certificate and the course would start at the beginning of September.
The cost per student would be £250£300. Students who gain a pass diploma of the College would be exempted from
the associate memberFhip examination.
At first, the course would accommodate 20-30 students, but, said Mr. Dawes, during the fourth year between 80 and 120 students would be in residence.
To encourage students, there would be awarded two scholarships to a value of £150, one in the first year and the other in the second or third year of the course. In addition to these Institute awards, Sir George Kenning, a vicepresident, had intimated his wish to be associated with the scholarship scheme and had promised an award of a similar sum. There would thus be three scholarship awards of £150.
Next April, Mr. Dawes is to inaugurate activities of the South African section of the Institute. The new section is being supported by the South African Motor Industry and Employers' Association.
