The Academy relies heavily on the strength of its senior members to provide leadership over the last 30 years to plan and promote a lifetime of learning both through mentorship programmes and through self learning. All categories of members may enlist into the Professional Development Programme (PDP) which spans over a period of 24 months following which an examination ensues as a test of competency to be eligible become a full Member of the Academy.
