Institute of Acoustics embarks on full-scale review of its education policy

摘要

The Institute has launched a wide-ranging review of its education policy aimed at ensuring it meets the sector's existing and future needs. As a first step to producing a strategic learning plan, it is commissioning research to identify possible future market and stakeholder needs over the next 5-10 years. The promotion and understanding of acoustics is a key role of the IOA, which has three broad strands to its learning offer: 1. To provide formal education to enable new graduates to specialise in acoustics (via the Diploma) or to enable specialist technicians to be proficient in noise measurement in specific circumstances through its specialist courses. 2. To offer CPD opportunities for members 3. To inform the public and other professionals about and encourage an interest in acoustics.
