Abstract

I have been receiving recently quite a number of enquiries from members regarding the Advanced Diploma, examinations for which will be held for the first time in June 1981. Our new handbook describes the Advanced Diploma as a qualification in its own right, which will provide holders of the Diploma with an opportunity to undertake specialist studies in those disciplines which will further their prospects of advancement in their chosen careers. This implies, of course, that the Advanced Diploma will be looked upon as a prestige qualification, entry to which will be restricted to members of ABE, and an opportunity for such members to prove that the ABE examination structure is designed not simply to produce certificates to hang on walls but to bring into the management scene a body of dedicated managers who can display through their on‐the‐job performance that they have a blend of educational knowledge and practical expertise of which they can be justly proud.
